You've found a new home. You have already begun to pack. You've come to the conclusion that the best way to move to your new home is to hire a moving company. What a fantastic start! Then, you begin to consider...

You then begin to consider the practical aspects. What will the price be? How long  will it take? And how many professional movers will you need to get there?

Fortunately, a reputable moving company will offer their assistance and assist you in finding the ideal crew for the job. Having said that, it's excellent to be ready and aware of what it will need. We've put up a helpful guide to help you determine how many movers you could require.

General Estimates

Let's begin with a broad concept. It will offer you a general notion even if this is a high-level estimate and does not take your unique circumstances into consideration. Let's examine various spaces and the approximate number of movers you would require.

Studio apartment

If you have a studio unit that is 400-600 square feet, you will need two movers. Loading and unloading will take 3-4 hours on average.

1-2 Bedroom Apartment

You should plan for 2 movers to work about 4-5 hours if your apartment has 1-2 bedrooms and is 700–1,200 square feet.

2-3 Bedroom Home

You will require 3 movers for 5-7 hours on average if your property has 2-3 bedrooms and 1,100–1,600 square feet.

3-4 Bedroom Home

On average, three movers will be needed for 7-9 hours to move a three- or four-bedroom house of 1,500–2,200 square feet.

Variables to Consider 

Of course, other factors play a role in figuring out how many movers you'll need. Every move is different and involves a number of factors, including the quantity of belongings, the items that require special handling, and how simple or difficult the entrance to your old or new home is.

How Much Stuff You Have

Your possessions are the main factor used by movers to determine the specifics of your move. Your valuables play a significant role in the calculation used to determine how much local movers will charge based on the number of movers and the number of hours. In any case, how much stuff you have is quite important. We suggest downsizing before relocating because of this. Not just to save you time, but also to spare you from packing and unpacking boxes of things you don't use. Allocate enough time to sort through your stuff and dispose of everything you haven't seen or used in a while. When it comes time to unpack, you will thank you, we promise.

Items That Require Special Care

You'll probably need some extra hands to carry any heavy, awkward, or antique things. Especially items like a pool table, piano, hot tub, big piece of art, or old furniture. Appliances like your dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, etc. are also covered. Do you have enormous pieces of furniture that are difficult to move or too heavy to take out of your home? A large Gym equipment ? You probably need extra movers.

Not only will you need extra hands but you’ll need skilled hands.  Do not believe that you can simply assist the movers when they come. Naturally, a reputable moving company will include all of these details in their plan and know how many skilled movers should come on the moving day when you talk to them about your move.

Do You Have Extra Help?

Even if you won't be helping the moving company transport your large piano, you might still need assistance in other areas. You might make some preparations in advance if you have friends you can call, which can come in handy later.

Disassembling furniture and arranging all of your boxes in a single place can help your movers with moving you faster. While having a buddy available on moving day might be beneficial, keep in mind that professional movers get into a flow and are typically more efficient, that’s why you hire them!  Along with having the tools necessary to guarantee your things are moved properly, they are also insured and take good care of their physical well-being.

The Access To Home Details

Maybe you've been in your home for so long that you are not aware that your entry makes moving a little more difficult. especially when it comes to moving large items and furniture. You could need extra persons to move if the entrance or exit from your old or new home is difficult. Think of things like stairs, the amount of steps, how many walk up floors, elevators, and routes that lead to and from your building. Another issue is narrow hallways, doors, and difficult or congested corners. Unreachable parking because moving trucks have height taller than most underground parkings? This may not only extend the moving process, but it may also require more movers because they will have to carry your belongings further.

Additional Services

Your movers are capable of more than just moving your belongings. Additionally, they may take care of your packing, unpacking and junk removal services. Although it might require extra personnel to speed up the process.

Full service moving companies will show up with all the supplies you require for packing and will pack everything professionally. Your furniture will be disassembled, and everything will be properly loaded into the vehicle. On the drop off side, they will reassemble your furniture and open every box you have packed, taking the packing supplies with them.
