One week before the move

  • Label Your Boxes: If packing yourself, clearly mark all boxes with the destination room on the top and sides to ensure a seamless unpacking process.

On Moving Day:

  • Prepare Ahead: Ensure all items are packed, labeled, and organized by room to make the unloading process smoother.

  • Save on Costs: To reduce moving expenses, disassemble furniture and beds beforehand and organize them for easy handling.

  • Transport Fragile Items: Load fragile and valuable items such as pictures, vases, lamps, and glass fixtures into your personal vehicle. This ensures they remain safe and separate from other packed goods.

  • Restricted Items: Note that gas cans, propane tanks, and any combustible substances cannot be transported on our trucks for safety reasons.

  • Be Present: When our moving crew arrives, walk us through your home to point out specific items or areas that need extra care or attention.

  • Final Walk-Through: Before leaving your old home, check to ensure:

    • All windows and doors are locked.
    • Lights and thermostats are turned off.
    • Nothing has been left behind.
  • Stay Organized: Keep essential documents, keys, and personal items with you to avoid misplacement during the move.
