Whether we are helping with your move or not, dig into our cache of moving tips. They make moving simple!

• Be fully packed, organized and ready to go when your movers arrive

• Before you begin packing, sort through your belongings and set aside any unwanted items to donate or discard.

• Tape boxes on top and bottom.

• Clearly label all of your boxes according to their content and handling instructions (e.g.: “Fragile,” “Top Load Only”). You can also categorize the boxes by room using color-coordinated sticker dots.

• Towels and linens make excellent packing materials for fragile items.

• Use closet space to store packed boxes.

• If you are moving into storage, arrange your storage unit in advance. If you have antiques, you may want to reserve a climate controlled storage unit.

• If you are renting a truck, do it as early as possible. Don’t forget to rent plenty of moving blankets! (About 2 blankets per item.)

• Dresser & chest drawers must be cleared & clothes removed

• Pack clothes from dressers and chests into boxes or bags

• When packing breakables use a lot of newspaper, bubble wrap, and other packing materials. There’s no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to your fragile items.

• Use linens or blankets for wrapping mirrors

• Always move cash, jewelry, and other precious items yourself.

• Be careful not to schedule any important engagements on the day of the move.

• If possible, save space for the moving truck by securing a parking spot with your car overnight.

• Stay On Budget! Preparation is key. Disassembling any furniture, bagging/boxing all loose items & having everything packed & ready will help make the move go smoothly!
