Moving Tips

🌟 Jamie’s Top 10 Stress-Free Moving Tips

Over 100 five-star Google reviews can’t be wrong—here’s how we help you move like a pro!

 

Start Early – Book Your Movers 4–6 Weeks Ahead

Secure your preferred date (especially in peak summer or month-end). Pro tip: Weekday moves are cheaper than Weekends.

​

Declutter Before You Pack

Donate, sell, or recycle anything you haven’t used in a year. Fewer boxes = lower cost & less stress!

 

Pack a “First-Night” Essentials Box

Include:

°Toiletries & medications

°Phone chargers

°A change of clothes

°Coffee/tea + mugs

°Important documents

▪︎Keep it with you—not on the truck!

 

Label Every Box Like a Pro

Write the room + contents on at least two sides (e.g., “Kitchen – Pots & Pans”). Bonus: Color-code with stickers for each room.

 

Use the Right Packing Materials

°Small boxes for heavy items (books, tools)

°Large boxes for light items (pillows, lampshades)

°Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or clean towels.

 

Take Photos of Electronics

Snap a quick pic of cable setups behind TVs/computers—makes reconnecting a breeze.

 

Defrost & Empty the Fridge 24 Hours Before

Wipe it down, pack food in coolers, and let movers handle the empty appliance safely.

 

Measure Doorways & Furniture

Avoid “it won’t fit” surprises. Measure big pieces and compare with new home’s doorways/stairwells.

 

Keep Valuables & Documents with You

Jewelry, passports, laptops—carry them in your car, not the moving truck.

 

Do a Final Sweep

Check every closet, cabinet, attic, and garage. Leave nothing behind!
