Keeping Your Home OrganizedKeeping Your Home Organized

When you are making a move to a new home, there are often many things that all need to happen simultaneously to ensure the move goes smoothly. If you are trying to move yourself, it means renting a truck and organizing some help to be there when you need it, but hiring local movers can reduce some of the stress and help you streamline the process. 

Booking The Movers

As you start to plan your move, it is essential to contact the local movers in your area and discuss the service options that are available to you. The closer you get to your moving date, the harder it will be to find a mover that is available and can handle your move. 

Booking your move early may also reduce the cost. Often last-minute moves require the moving company to fit you in, and they may charge service fees to do that. When you know the date of your move, make the local movers your first call so you can be sure to get the service you need at a reasonable price, then move on to other planning. 

Moving Day

When moving day arrives, you need to make sure you are ready when the local movers arrive at your home. They may have several jobs booked for the day, and they will want to get started loading the truck as soon as possible so they can get your move completed.

The movers will most likely want to go through the house with you to determine what needs to be loaded on the truck and in what order, so take them through and show them everything that you are taking with you. If you are moving your appliances to your new home, you need to let the movers know before the moving day so they can bring the right equipment with them. 

Mark all the boxes with the room you want them in at the new house so the movers can put things where you need them when they are unloading the truck at your new home. The local movers will handle all the lifting, loading, and hauling for you, but it is important that you are there to direct things as the move progresses.

Make sure to get the key to your new home before moving day so there are no delays when the movers arrive with your furnishings and other items. Some moving companies will charge a service fee if the movers have to sit and wait to get into the property, so be sure to arrive ahead of them or with them so you can open the house and let them move your items into the home.
