Moving Tips

1. Start Early

Begin packing at least 2 weeks in advance. Start with non-essentials and label everything clearly.

2. Declutter First 

Don't pay to move what you don't need. Donate or toss anything you haven't used in over a year. 

3. Label by Room & Priority

Use color-coded labels or write the room name on every box. Mark essentials with "Open First."

4. Measure Before You Move

Make sure furniture fits through doorways and into your new space. Saves time and frustration!

5. Use Professional Movers

Hiring experienced movers (like us!) ensures a faster, safer, and stress-free move from start to finish. 

MAKE A LIST

Before packing a single box, create a detailed checklist. Break it down by room and include everything from big furniture to cleaning supplies. This keeps you organized and helps ensure nothing gets left behind during your move.

SAY GOODBYE TO UNUSED STUFF

Moving is the perfect time to declutter. Go room by room and donate, sell or toss anything you haven't used in the last year. Less stuff means fewer boxes, faster packing, and lower moving costs.

GET STURDY, UNIFORM PACKING SUPPLIES

Using boxes that are the same size makes stacking easier and safer. Choose double-walled, heavy-duty boxes for fragile items to avoid overfilling. Quality supplies save you time, space, and reduce the risk of damage during transit.

PACK THE BASICS YOURSELF

Pack a "first night" essentials box with toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This saves you from digging through boxes on move-in day and helps you settle in comfortably.
