How To Prepare For Movers
Preparation for movers is the key to a successful and stress-free move. Our Chester County movers can help you make the journey simple! Here’s how to get ready for your move with Louderback Moving:
Pre-Move Preparation
Begin your preparations early, preferably 2-3 months in advance. This will give you sufficient time to organize, declutter, and pack effectively.
Decluttering and Downsizing
Start by sorting your belongings and deciding what to keep, donate, or discard. This process reduces the volume of items to move and can save you money on moving costs. Consider having a garage sale or donating unwanted items to lighten your load.
Create an Inventory
Create a detailed inventory of your goods and take photos or videos of the things that are of high value to you. This list will be helpful for insurance purposes and also during the transition period.
How to Pack
Select Good Packing Materials
Appropriate packing materials and sturdy moving boxes are necessary for the safe transit of goods. For small items, you can use small, medium, and large plastic bags to prevent them from getting dirty and damaged.
Strategic Packing
Group items from one room together. Pack similar items together in a single container to make unpacking much easier in your new home.
Prepare For Moving Day
Communicate with Your Mover
Inform the Louderback Moving team what items are fragile or of especially high value to you. Then, be clear about where to place them when arriving at your new home.
Take Care with Hazardous Items
Dispose of hazardous materials such as paint and cooking oil according to local regulations. Check with Louderback Moving for a list of potentially hazardous items that may be dangerous to move.
Pack Valuables
Take all important documents and irreplaceable items with you. Consider additional insurance on high-value possessions while in transit.
