The Process of Creating an Estimate
Every relocation should begin with an estimate of the cost.
At Jason’s Moving, we understand how important this piece of the moving process can be for your planning.
So, how do we create an accurate and affordable estimate for your home or business move? Read on to find out!
What Influences Your Moving Estimate?
Several factors can influence the cost and timeline of your upcoming move, including the types of items to be moved and your location. At Jason’s Moving, we provide free estimates that encompass the contents of your home or office, your destination, and even specific details like the presence of stairs or whether items will be delivered to single or multiple locations.
Here’s a breakdown of the factors that Jason’s Moving Services considers when preparing an estimate for your move:
- Your location, including address details and the size of your building.
- Features of your location, such as the number of stairs or elevator access.
- The nature of your move, whether it’s local, long-distance.
- The size, weight, and quantity of furniture and items to be moved.
- The type and condition of each piece of furniture and item.
- The estimated travel distance for our moving crew.
These considerations are vital for ensuring we have the right number of movers and the necessary vehicle access. Factors like traffic, road conditions, and distances are all taken into account to create a realistic timeline for your move in Belleville, Kingston, and the surrounding regions of Southeastern and Central Ontario.
Our Belleville-area moving company provides top-notch residential and commercial moving services, serving clients in Belleville, Belleville Ontario, and nearby cities, including Belleville, Kingston, and Trenton. Additionally, we have the capability to facilitate long-distance moves.
Factors That Go Into Your Move Estimate
As mentioned above, Jason’s Moving needs to know a few things about your upcoming move before creating an accurate estimate. There is a good reason for considering these factors, so here is a bit more about why we need to know these details.
The approximate size of your home or business (in square feet or rooms):
- This will let us know what type of storage you may need (if you choose this)
- It can help narrow down the estimate of how many hours your project will take and give you an idea of what it will cost
- Bedrooms typically have beds in them, which means mattresses or other large and bulky items for moving
The approximate number of items being moved:
- This one is pretty obvious, but this helps us determine the size of the vehicle and the number of movers for the day
- It gives us an idea of the number of boxes and packing material we will need to bring if required
The number of outbuildings (garage/sheds/etc.):
- outbuildings typically have extra moving requirements such as cars, bikes, furniture pieces, lawnmowers, and more
The distance to the new location:
- factors such as gas mileage are considered in measuring distance, as well as hours for our moving team
Internal and external building features:
- moving large items or many boxes on stairs can be hazardous and awkward
Timeline for Your Estimate
An ideal timeline for you to contact us for an estimate is 30 to 60 days, although we know that sometimes moving services are required more quickly, and we always do our best to accommodate your needs.
We have several options for requesting an estimate from Jason’s Moving Inc. The first is to contact us by telephone at (833) 393-6683 or (613)417-3577. Secondly, you can email us at estimates@jasonsmoving.com, and our third option is to fill out our easy online estimate request here.
After we receive your request, we will work hard to create an accurate and affordable estimate for your move so that you can get started on your relocation planning.
Once we have completed our assessment for your estimate, we can have it back to you as quickly as a couple of hours!
Your estimate is made available before you hire us and is valid for 60 days from the day it is issued. However, we know that moving can be chaotic, so if you need more time, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we can work out a suitable arrangement. Receiving an estimate before you hire us and we begin work, means there are no major surprises when the final bill arrives!
The moving professionals at Jason’s Moving Inc. are here to help you make this process as smooth as possible: whether it’s a long-distance move or you are just moving around the block.
The flexibility of our moving company means we generally offer hourly rates for your commercial and residential moving needs, but, in special cases, we may be able to provide a flat rate move.
