Insurance & Claims
It is important that you understand the policies and limits of liability that your moving company provides to you for local moving services. As a professional moving company we believe in full disclosure. Please review the following and also check what coverage you may already have through your homeowners insurance policy.
The customer or their representative must be present during the local move and final “walk-through.” Our time runs continuously until all tools and equipment are back in the truck and payment is completed. You must pay in full at completion of your local move. Unless payment is made in full as is due we are not required to answer or process a claim. Do not assume you may deduct the money from the final bill to compensate yourself in the event of damage. Liability for lost or damaged items is limited to $.60 per pound per article unless additional insurance has been purchased by the customer. The right is reserved by us to repair or replace any damaged item(s).
Our clients can also purchase additional coverage for their local or storage move as follows:
