All Movers Are NOT Created Equal
Allmovers are not created equal. Different companies excel at different things. The best storage facility (i.e., temperature-controlled, brick building, and the like) may not have the best moves. Local movers are typically paid by the hour; therefore, the men frequently rush to try to save the customer money and thereby gain a larger tip. It is almost impossible for the uninitiated to know who to choose. First check the basics --- license and insurance. For interstate moves, this is the Motor Carrier number and the SDDC website that will confirm insurance and the MC number. Then check the Better Business Bureau and professional associations. Make certain that you feel comfortable and confident with the company personnel. If there is a problem with the move, do you feel like the people with whom you are dealing will actually care and work with you to solve your difficulty? If several companies’ basic facts are in order, then go with the company your gut says to choose. No company can move all the people that need moving services. Start looking early and select a few that you have confidence in. Then make your selection as far in advance as you can. TheUnited States government frequently uses OPS Moving to relocate military families. OPS is also an approved GSA (General Services Administration) carrier. These opportunities are only offered to movers that can prove their financial stability and post a significant performance bond with the government. In the private sector OPS has the coveted “A+” rating from the Better Business Bureau and is an active member in good standing of the AMSA (American Moving and Storage Association) and CMSA (California Moving and Storage Association). OPS Moving tries to create a comfort zone with each family being moved. Moving is tough --- tough on you and tough on us. But when we work together on the details and we understand your needs and your expectations, then we can create that “comfort zone” which will make that tough job another success story for both of us.

Conciergeservices are offered by OPS Moving. Moving is disruptive and triggers lots of small jobs and annoying details that need to be addressed. At origin, there is taking pictures off the wall and patching the holes, paint touch-up, appliance disconnecting and servicing, and ice maker disconnecting. Attic, garage eaves and crawl space items need to be removed and organized for safe transport. Gas and oil in mowers and tools need to be safely removed and disposed of. There may be items going to relatives or friends, or perhaps pick-up of items from friends and relatives that are going with you. Yard furniture should be cleaned and examined for water in the legs or pipes; you do not want this leaking on your sofa or cartons. Basketball hoops and outdoor swing sets should be disassembled and new hardware purchased for re-assembly. Particle board furniture that originally came in a flat carton should be disassembled and shipped flat. You may need move-out cleaning service to prepare your home for the new buyer. At destination the favorite service is our premium maid service. Each dish is washed, dried and then placed in the cabinet of your choice. We can also offer closet organizing, picture hanging, debris removal and re-assembly of yard items and swing sets.
