Yes, you can! Hiring someone to pick up furniture is one of the easiest things you can do. Plus, with the added benefit of hiring someone to pick up your furniture, you have the peace of mind that a professional is handling all the heavy lifting.
From items as big as grand pianos, mattresses, and bed frames, to difficult-to-deal-with dining tables, taking the stress away from moving these bulky items and leaving it to the professionals is a great way to save time, and know your furniture is being picked up and moved safely
The Benefits of Hiring Someone to Pick Up Furniture
People may hire someone to pick up and move furniture for various reasons, including time constraints, convenience, mobility issues, and accessibility concerns.
Hiring someone to pick up your furniture will:
- Eliminate the physical stress on your body
- Reduce the mental stress of planning out the entire moving timeline of the furniture
- Ensure all safety steps to move the furniture are taken
- Have furniture picked up and moved when you have time
Making the Furniture Pick Up Easier
Of course, hiring help is easy; next, you need to figure out transportation. While an SUV or crossover can hold a good amount of furniture, it cannot hold items larger than the backseat. This is where a rental truck comes in. Rental trucks are a fantastic option for picking up furniture because most, including U-Haul vehicles, have a built-in truck ramp.
Renting affordable furniture dollies and furniture pads is also a great way to make sure your furniture is easier to move and stays safe.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Mover?
The cost of hiring someone to move your furniture will depend on the kind of item moved, how long it will take to move it, and how much a mover will charge as their hourly rate.
Moving furniture to a storage unit or someone’s home can be stressful and sometimes dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, even if it’s just a single piece of furniture.
The cost for two hours and two Moving Help Service Providers costs an average of $287; you can also hire only one Moving Help Service Provider if you just need another hand, which is the most affordable option.
Moving Your Furniture with Moving Help
Hiring Moving Help Service Providers is simple and easy, whether you book online or in the U-Haul app. With more than 7,300 Service Providers across all 50 states and Canadian provinces, you can rest easy knowing there will always be someone who can handle heavy lifting.
