If you have ever tried to plan and execute a move in the short span of a weekend, you know that last-minute moves are a ton of work and quickly become an incredibly stressful experience. However, knowing when to schedule a move can be tricky and dependent on various factors, and it is not uncommon to not know where to start when picking your move date.Â
Fortunately, you do not need to plan and schedule your move alone. Our family-owned and operated business spans three generations of experienced moving professionals that can help you plan your move while considering your unique needs. When you choose us, you can trust us to treat you and your items with attention and care.Â
Before picking a moving date, it is essential to understand exactly what your move entails. As you prepare to set a date, be sure to ask and answer the following questions:
If you have a specific closing date or lease-end date for your current home, you know you have a deadline to complete your move. While it may be tempting to schedule your move on this specific date, you may have other options. If you have access to your new space or storage unit before your closing date, it may alleviate stress to complete your entire move or a portion of it ahead of the hard deadline. We never recommend waiting until the last possible day to move.
If you are moving across town, you will likely have more flexibility when scheduling your move than those completing a long-distance move. Short moves can often be scheduled weeks or days before you intend to move, while a long-distance move may need to be scheduled at least two months in advance to ensure availability for a longer job.Â
Before scheduling a move, it is essential to have a budget in place. Be sure to consider other possible costs associated with the move in addition to the moving crew and truck. Depending on the nature of your move, you may also require child care, pet sitting, a storage unit, or a hotel stay. Factoring in all of the elements of your move is vital to understanding your budget.Â
Your packing process will go much smoother if you sort and organize your belongings beforehand. It is likely that not everything in your old home needs to make the transition into your new one. Selling or donating items is a great way to purge clutter so you can focus on the essentials. When you begin to pack, keep your new space in mind. Unpacking will be much easier if your boxes are sorted by which rooms they will go to in your new place rather than where they were in your old one. Packing and unpacking can be time-consuming and daunting task. If you feel overwhelmed by packing, consider us for a full-service move, with packing and unpacking services.Â
