Expert Moving Tips for a Stress-Free Moving
Hello, neighbors! We’re Great Chicago Movers LLC, and we’ve been helping folks like you move around Chicago and its suburbs for over ten years. We know moving can be really stressful, but with the right tips and a bit of planning, it can go smoothly. Whether you’re moving to a new house or a different office, we’ve got some expert advice to make your move easier and more enjoyable. Let’s get started with some of our best tips!
Keeping Your Move on Schedule
- Start Cleaning Early
- As soon as you know you’re moving, start cleaning out places like your closets, the attic, and the basement. Getting rid of stuff you don’t need means you’ll have less to pack later!
- Book Your Movers Early
- Call us, Great Chicago Movers LLC, about 2 to 4 weeks before your moving day. When you call, ask us if we have insurance and what kind of tools we bring along to help with the move.
- Handle Your Utilities
- About a week before you move, remember to cancel services like your cable and internet at your old place. Also, set them up at your new home so everything’s ready when you arrive.
- Pack Smart
- Start packing bit by bit a few weeks before the move. Don’t pack your cleaning supplies until the very end because you’ll need them for one last cleanup, especially if you want to get your deposit back!
Easy-to-Forget Moving Reminders
- Keep Track of Small Parts
- When you take apart furniture, put all the screws and little parts in a bag and tape it to the furniture it came from. This way, you won’t lose anything important.
- Prepare Your Appliances
- Before moving things like your washer or dryer, check the user manual for any special instructions. They might need special handling.
- Pack an Essentials Bag
- Pack a small bag with things you’ll need right away like your toothbrush, chargers, and a few snacks. It’s like packing for a mini-vacation!
Ensuring a Smooth Move Day
- Involve the Whole Family
- Give everyone in the family a small job to do on moving day. This helps everyone feel involved and keeps kids out of the way of heavy lifting.
- Protect Your New Home
- Use felt pads under furniture to avoid scratching your new floors when you’re moving things around.
