11 Expert Tips for Your Next Move

  1. Start Planning Early: Begin your moving preparations at least 6-8 weeks in advance. Create a checklist of tasks, including booking movers, packing, and notifying utility companies. A well-organized move is a stress-free move.
  2. Declutter Before You Pack: Moving is the perfect time to downsize. Sort through your belongings and donate, sell, or recycle items you no longer need. Less clutter means less to pack, saving you time and money.
  3. Label Your Boxes Clearly: Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. Use color-coded tape or stickers to make unloading and unpacking a breeze.
  4. Pack an Essentials Box: Set aside a box with must-have items like toiletries, chargers, important documents, and a change of clothes. This box will save you from searching for necessities on your first night in your new home.
  5. Protect Your Valuables: Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or clothing to cushion fragile items. For high-value belongings, consider taking them with you instead of putting them on the moving truck.
  6. Hire Professional Movers: Working with experienced movers (like us!) ensures your belongings are handled with care. We’re fully equipped to handle everything from packing to transportation with efficiency and reliability.
  7. Take Inventory: Create a detailed inventory of your items, especially valuable or sentimental ones. This helps keep track of everything and simplifies insurance claims if needed.
  8. Schedule Utilities in Advance: Set up utilities like water, electricity, and internet in your new home before moving day. You’ll thank yourself when you arrive to a fully functional space.
  9. Optimize for Phoenix Weather: If you’re moving in Phoenix, remember to stay hydrated and avoid the midday heat. For summer moves, early in the morning to beat the Arizona sun.
  10. Plan for Pets and Kids: If you have pets or young children, arrange for someone to watch them during the move. It ensures their safety and allows you to focus on the task at hand.
  11. Use Right Boxes for The Right Stuff: Heavier items are best in smaller boxes, so they are easier to lift and maneuver. Lighter items are best in larger boxes so you can move more around at once. A bulkier or more awkward box is always easier to carry if lighter objects are inside.
