Moving Tips

With more than 10 years of experience, We understand moving can be stressful and overwhelming. We Have a few tips that will help you with a smooth and faster-moving process.

• Create a moving checklist with everything that has to be done before the move. Make sure to include a timeline and a Moving budget
• Make a reservation with the moving company 2 to 4 weeks before the moving date, it is important to ask what services they offer and provide an inventory with all of your belongings so they know what type of equipment they need. Providing an inventory will also help the moving company give you a more exact estimate of the entire moving cost.
• Also if you are renting let the leasing office or landlord know your moving date.
• Start by cleaning out closets, attics, and basements before the move date. This will help you to not forget and declutter anything from these areas which are often used as storage. Ask for a junk removal service in case you need to get rid of some trash or unwanted items.
• Pack your cleaning supplies last, you will need them to do the last cleaning once you are done with the move.
• Make sure to put all your jewelry, money, guns, and important documents in a safe place. Most moving companies do not move or even touch any of the mentioned items and you will have to take care of moving these by yourself.
• We understand pets are important members of the family. Having strangers at home moving stuff can be stressful for our lovely companions and in some cases, they may cause accidents or delays. It is recommended to ask a family member to take care of them or find a place where they can be safe during the moving process.
• Be ready on the moving date, try to have a game plan during the moving process, ask for the crew leader or manager so you know who is in charge just in case you have a question or concern. Make sure to clear the driveway and parking area so the movers have space to move your furniture and big appliances.
• Ask your moving company what type of services they offer besides moving. In many cases, you can benefit from these services before your moving date, during, or after.
