Expert advice to help you prepare for a smooth, stress-free move.
Keep all moving-related documents — quotes, contracts, receipts, and checklists — in one binder or folder so nothing gets lost.
Tackle one room at a time instead of jumping around. It keeps you organized and makes unpacking at your new place much easier.
Towels, blankets, and clothing make great padding for fragile items. It saves on packing materials and reduces the number of boxes.
List your major items and their condition before the move. Photos help if you ever need to file a claim.
Schedule utility transfers at least two weeks before your move so everything is ready when you arrive at your new home.
Jewelry, important documents, medications, and irreplaceable items should travel with you — not on the truck.
Call your moving company 2-3 days before to confirm the date, time, crew size, and any special instructions.
On moving day, make sure hallways, doorways, and driveways are clear. It speeds things up and prevents accidents.
