Ask about licensing/insurance, whether they provide written itemized quotes, what's included in the price, their cancellation policy, and whether they can provide a Certificate of Insurance if needed.
DIY moving saves money but requires more time, physical effort, and risk of injury or damage. Professional movers cost more but save time, reduce risk, and handle the heavy lifting safely -- especially valuable for larger moves or walk-up buildings.
Compare what's actually included (not just the bottom-line number) -- packing materials, furniture protection, insurance coverage, and whether the quote is itemized or vague. The cheapest quote isn't always the best value if it's missing coverage or has hidden fees.
