How to Organize Your Move
Most of you will agree that moving is one of the most overwhelming household tasks there is. But did you know that there's a secret to an organized move? The solution: planning ahead. If you can get a head start, you should be able to make it through this daunting process in a breeze. So get ready to enjoy your new place! Here's how you can organize your move to avoid moving day chaos:
Planning is the key
Don't procrastinate. If you're not leaving in a hurry, professional movers suggest packing your valuables and organizing everything within 30 to 60 days. Create a checklist and write down everything you need to finish week by week.
Find out your moving strategy
How are you going to get from your old house to your new abode on the day of moving? For short distance moves, rent a truck for the day. On the other hand, if you'll be moving in a long distance and have a big family, hire professional movers you can trust.
Keep in touch with your movers
Professional movers advise explaining all your needs and expectations prior to booking. Your movers have to be informed of all those important details to give you a fair estimate of the cost, time, and have the proper equipment available to access restrictions and disassemble/assemble furniture.
Pick the right size of moving truck
Whether you are moving short or long distances, choosing the right size of truck is essential so you can load everything in one trip. To determine the size of the truck, there are some estimates based on the furniture in any given room or by square feet. As a general rule, the contents of most houses can be moved in a 24' truck with one or more tips.
Make sure to hire a reputable moving company
Your professional moving company is an excellent source for any inquiries you may have when you are planning your move. They can give you answers and solutions for organizing your move.
