Equipment - Different types of
moves require different types of equipment. In particular,
Peterson Movers
is versatile in our moving style and has many types
of modern equipment that are "tried and true" from our past 63+
years of business. This equipment allows us to get the
job done safely and efficiently.
We literally have hundreds of steel
moving beams, many moving dollies and other custom
built equipment, which allows us to adapt
to your needs. The size and type of equipment is very important for
keeping the height of a building low to the ground to reduce the
cost of moving overhead utility lines. The proper equipment is
also very important so the building
or other property is not damaged in the move. Keep in mind
that the best equipment is not worth much at all if the mover does not have the knowledge to use the
equipment properly.

Estimates -
Peterson Movers will only give an estimate after
looking at a building or project.
However, you can call us with general information about your building or
project and we will try to give you a price range for the job.
This is a big difference between us and some of our competitors who
may 1) bid over the phone without
seeing the building or project or 2) will ask what we bid the job
for before giving you
their price or 3) low ball the bid to get the job. Only for them to
bill you for extras that you thought were included in the contract,
which many times will bring the price over and beyond our bid. In any
case...do you think you are getting the best price or mover?
Secondly, we don't
have clauses in our contract that can leave the price open. Our
contract is written in plain language with no hidden fees. Once we
give you a price in writing, our price will not change as long as all
conditions are met or disclosed to us and the specifications from
the job does not change.
Reputation -
Peterson Movers will put our
reputation and integrity for getting the job done safely and
efficiently, our experience, and our desire to be honest and up front
to work for you throughout your entire moving project.
This is how we have run a successfully moving business for 63+
years.
If you have read this far, you can
tell that we are serious about what we do. This is how we make
our living; it is not a "job" we do on the side or the weekends--we are a full time family owned business striving to stay on top.
So, given what you
now know about the moving business...are you sure you want to save a few bucks up front?
