Planning Your Move - Moving Tips Checklist

           Here are some useful tips from us to you, to help you plan your move. 
                     If you have any further questions or concerns, give us a call.



          For Your Move:



  • Try and secure a couple of parking spaces in front of both locations for the move.
    If you have elevators in your building, make sure to reserve them for moving day. Sole access to the elevators will ensure an expedient and efficient move.
  • Confine your pet to an out-of-the-way room to help keep them from being scared or running off. You might consider boarding them at a local kennel until you are settled.
  • Fragile boxes should be clearly labeled and pointed out to the movers.
  • You can leave items such as clothes and linens in drawers, however please remove anything that is fragile or can spill, such as perfume.
  • We will bring wardrobe boxes, free of charge for all of your hanging clothes. Therefore leave all hanging clothes until the day of the move.
  • Mirrors and pictures over 3 feet can be left on the wall for our movers to wrap properly.
  • Please let us know about plants you may need moved and do not water them for at least 2 days prior to the move.
  • Have a big cooler on hand..Leave refrigerated items in the fridge until the day of the move and we will pack your cooler with them before we leave.
  • Prepare a box with all the essentials to get you through the move and the first day. Keep all personal effects in this box as well. This includes important documents, purse/wallet, checkbooks, passports, heirlooms, jewelry, cell phone(s), chargers, medications and toiletries. Pack this box and keep it with you.
  • Everything else in the home (minus furniture, of course) needs to boxed and clearly labeled. Please label the box with it's contents and where it belongs in your new destination.
