Getting to know your moving needs

When you call All My Sons Moving and Storage of Chicago, you will be greeted by one of our friendly customer service representatives. We know that you will have a lot of questions regarding your move, especially if you are a first time mover. Interestingly, we will have a lot of questions for you too! To be able to effectively quote you and answer all your questions, we will need to know all about what you are moving. Some of the most common questions we ask are:
-What type of residence are you moving? (a house, an apartment, a townhouse)
-How many rooms are you moving?
-Are your rooms well furnished or lightly furnished?
-Are there any elevators we will be using or a long walk to where we would park the truck?
-Do you have any items such as a fish tank, grandfather clock, big screen television, a piano, or a pool table that will need special attention?
-What is the heaviest item you are moving?
-Do you need any assistance packing your goods?
-What are your concerns that I can address?
These questions will lead us to make a recommendation on how many men to send to you. Moving a one bedroom apartment has different variables than moving a five bedroom mansion. There can even be variables that are different when we move in the city and in the suburbs (such as parking restrictions). The more we know you and the type of move you are doing, the better we can accommodate you!
If you have a large home that is 3 bedrooms or more, we recommend having one of our estimators coming out to you at no charge to give you a written estimate. We recommend this because it is easier to pinpoint an estimate for you and we can get a better idea of how many men to send. A picture can be worth a thousand words in this situation, and it is at no cost to you, so there is no risk involved. We can even provide an on-site estimate if you are moving a little amount of goods. Often times if a budget is tight or you have never moved before, it can be a reassurance to have an estimate in writing based on what our professional estimators see that you are moving.
