When you are ready for a move you know that there is a lot that goes into it. The move is something that is necessary when you are relocating for a job or school. It can also be an opportunity to get a fresh start or to look for a school that is best for your growing family. The move is something that is often stressful and full of tasks that seem like you’ll never find time to do. The reason for your move is one of the stressors but the actual move can be difficult. You want to make sure that you do all that you can to prepare for the move and be ready when the moving truck arrives. Hiring a moving company is one of the best things that you can do so that your items are moved to your home and not damaged along the way. Using these preparation tips will help to make the move smooth. Prodigy Moving & Storage outlines what you can do to prepare for the movers.

When to Start Packing

The first thing that you want to do is to make sure that you take time to start the moving process early. You don’t want to wait until the last minute to start cleaning, packing and more. When you wait for the last minute to start the process that it will take can be much longer than you first thought. You want to make sure that you start to go through the house and eliminate things that you don’t need to take with you. Also be sure that you take the time to plan out the move and give each area a timeline so that you know what to do each day.

Organizing Before a Move; Use Moving Labels

When you start early you have the time to make sure that you stay organized. Organization is one of the things that will take a lot of the stress out of the move. You want to make sure that you use labels. You want to use labels on the boxes that you pack that show what is in the box and what room you want that box to go to. You also want to make sure that you use labels for the rooms in the house. The labels will help when the boxes are unloaded so they know where to take the boxes when they arrive at your home. You can hang them over each of the doors in the house.

Disassemble Large Furniture when Moving

Another part of the move that is going to need to be done is to take apart items that are large. This can be furniture such as tables, couches, beds and more. You can take some of these larger items that cannot be moved fully and have them ready to load. Be sure that as you take them apart you make bags and notes about what tools and what bolts and nuts are needed.
