Hiring a moving company is a big decision — you’re trusting a team with your belongings, your schedule, and your peace of mind. Whether you’re moving a home or business, asking the right questions up front can save you time, money, and stress.

At Spartan Movers, we believe in transparency and professionalism. Here are 5 essential questions you should ask before choosing any moving company — and why the answers matter:

1. Are You Licensed and Insured?

Why It Matters: A legitimate moving company should have a USDOT number (for interstate moves) and carry liability insurance to protect your items. If they can’t provide proof, it’s a red flag.

✅ Spartan Movers is fully licensed, insured, and DOT-compliant.We carry general liability and cargo coverage — so you're protected from start to finish.

2. What’s Included in Your Quote?

Why It Matters: Not all moving quotes are created equal. Some companies offer low base prices but add hidden fees later for stairs, long walks, fuel, or shrink wrap.

✅ At Spartan Movers, our quotes are fully transparent. We walk you through the breakdown — labor, travel, materials — so there are no surprises on moving day.

3. Do You Hire and Train Your Movers?

Why It Matters: Your movers should be trained professionals, not unvetted day laborers. A well-trained crew reduces the risk of damage, injury, and delays.

✅ All Spartan Movers crew members are background-checked, trained, and uniformed. We treat your belongings like our own — with care and discipline.

4. What Happens if Something Gets Damaged?

Why It Matters: Even with the best movers, accidents can happen. You need to know how claims are handled and whether there’s accountability.

✅ We take full responsibility for our work.Our clients receive support through every step of the claims process — and we work fast to resolve any issues professionally.

5. Can You Provide References or Reviews?

Why It Matters: Reputable movers will be proud to share their track record. Online reviews, word-of-mouth, and client testimonials speak louder than advertising.

✅ Spartan Movers is one of the most-reviewed and highly rated moving companies in the DMV area. We let our 5-star clients do the talking.

💬 Bonus Tip: Ask Yourself This…

Do I feel confident and comfortable with this company? If something feels off — trust your gut. A good mover should provide more than just trucks and muscle — they should deliver peace of mind.
