A - There are many reasons why we do this but at the core of our philosophy to pay more is, so we can take better care of YOU, our valued Senior Clients. Simply put, we don't want a constant revolving door of personnel to facilitate your transition. Seniors are often overlooked and almost discarded. As a company, our service to you will be more positive and comfortable for you. As a result, we don't send just anyone to your home, condo, apartment or to the Senior Community you reside in. We have extremely strict criteria and a meticulous vetting procedure for those who desire to earn the privilege to serve you while wearing our name!
A very large majority of our industry does not share this philosophy. People arrive at your home unvetted, untested, untrained, without background checks and ill prepared people to work with you and in and around your property and near your most precious belongings. We only Employ Qualified and Quality family oriented people that truly care about Compassion, Care & Patience for and towards our Senior Clients. Please read or listen to some of our Reviews on our Reviews page. These are real people and their unfiltered views about their experience with The Senior Movers. We welcome you to Experience the Difference from Start to Finish with The Senior Movers!
Q - Why would another Company provide a Quotation that may be Hundreds of Dollars less when I call?
A - This is a very significant and misleading aspect of The Moving Industry and while there are some honest providers, the majority offer you a low price in the beginning to get a Yes from you and get a contract in place and they change the price later.
We hear about his many times every day. As a Senior Care Provider only, we are inside of Senior Communities every day, all day. We understand every Community as the Preferred Locator for over 100 Senior Communities.
We Quote you the correct price up front in a transparent and honest way. When we provide a quotation, it doesn’t change unless the scope of the service changes and is requested by you.
We already take into account the Elevators, Hallways, other Seniors within a Community. We have rules to abide by with our Community Partners and we follow them.
We know where to park, what doors to use and not use. We are respectful and understanding of a Seniors needs and their adjustment to completely new surroundings.
It is common for a Senior to have us place things in one place and we have to restage things more than once.

A - We accept Cash, Check and we process Credit Cards for NO additional fee. All returned checks are subject to a $100 penalty charge.
Q - Should I, or can I Tip the Moving and or Packing Specialists?

It is completely at your discretion and if you decide you would like to offer a tip, team members would be extremely grateful. They work very hard to provide our Trademark offering of Compassion, Care & Patience. We also get asked, what is the normal amount that I should tip? That choice rests with our Clients however, on average, folks typically leave anywhere between $20-$100.
