Moving can be a stressful process, but there are certain steps you can take to make the move go smoother. Professional movers have years of experience and know-how to get your belongings from point A to point B with minimal stress and hassle. Here are some tips on how to move your home like professional movers:
1. Create an inventory list.
A thorough inventory list will prevent any items from being misplaced or lost during the move. It is also important if you need to purchase insurance for the move, as it serves as proof of the items’ value. It is best to create a detailed list that includes descriptions and serial numbers of all electronics, appliances, furniture pieces, artwork, etc., that you are packing up.
2. Properly secure and pack all items.
Professional movers use quality packing materials and know how to properly secure each item in their boxes so they do not get damaged while in transit. Make sure you use thick boxes with heavy-duty tape and bubble wrap any fragile or delicate items before placing them in a box for protection against potential bumps along the way.
3. Disassemble furniture when possible.
When it comes time for loading up the moving truck, larger furniture pieces such as beds, couches, dressers, etc., should be disassembled into smaller pieces whenever possible. This will make it easier to maneuver through doorways and hallways without having to worry about scuffing walls or other surfaces along the way.
4. Always use labeling systems for boxes/contents by room location.
Keeping track of which boxes belong in which rooms is essential both during loading up of the moving truck as well as unloading once arriving at your new home address – especially if multiple people are helping out during this process! Labeling boxes accordingly will ensure that each box gets placed where it belongs once arriving at its new destination – saving time as well as headaches down the line when unpacking begins!
5. Schedule delivery times ahead of time with your mover company representative(s).
If you plan on hiring professional movers for your job rather than DIY-ing it yourself with rented equipment/resources such as a U-Haul truck (or other), make sure you schedule delivery times ahead of time with your mover company so they arrive onsite when expected and minimize delays between loading & unloading operations throughout this process!
In conclusion, If you follow the tips listed above you’ll be ready to move like the professionals, and if you want you can always still hire a trusted professional company such as the team here at Joe Momma’s Moving!
