DIY Move vs. Hiring Moving Professionals

Deciding between a DIY move and hiring professional movers involves a careful evaluation of several factors. Here’s a breakdown to help you make an informed choice:

DIY Move

• Cost: The upfront cost of a DIY move is typically lower. You’ll pay for gas, rental truck fees (average cost: $190-250 per day according to HomeAdvisor, packing supplies, and potentially tolls).
• Time Commitment: DIY moves are very time-consuming. You’ll need to dedicate time for packing, loading, unloading, driving the truck, and potentially recruiting friends or family for help.
• Physical Effort: DIY moves require significant physical exertion, especially for lifting heavy furniture or boxes. This can be challenging for those with limited mobility or health concerns.
• Risk of Damage: Improper packing or handling during a DIY move can lead to damaged belongings. You’ll be responsible for any repairs or replacements.
• Stress Level: DIY moves can be stressful, especially on moving day. Unexpected issues like a full rental truck or traffic delays can add to the pressure.

Hiring Professional Movers

• Cost: Professional movers charge by the hour and sometimes by the distance of your move. According to our averages, the cost range to move a studio apartment in Boston or Framingham will be between $300 to $900 depending on the season, size of the move, distance between locations and additional services.
• Time Commitment: Professional movers handle furniture disassembly, furniture and home protection, loading, unloading, and transportation process, freeing up your time for other tasks.
• Physical Effort: Movers do the heavy lifting, minimizing the physical strain on you.
• Reduced Risk of Damage: Professional movers are trained in packing and handling furniture and belongings to minimize the risk of damage. They typically offer insurance coverage for any incidents.
• Reduced Stress Level: Hiring movers allows you to focus on other aspects of your move, reducing stress levels significantly.
