Getting Your Home Ready for a Moving Company

It can be exciting to move into a new home, and having a moving company professionally handle the packing, loading, and hauling of your belongings can make the event even easier. Even though the movers will handle most aspects of the moving job, there are still a few things you will need to do to help expedite the relocation. Here’s a checklist of some simple but important tasks you’ll want to handle before the home moving company arrives at your doorstep:

Decide what items you want to have packed – Be sure you have a list of the items you need the movers to pack, and explain to the movers where these items should go in your new home. It is especially important to inform the movers of any special requirements for packing certain items. For example, if you have antiques that need to be packed with silica packs to reduce moisture accumulation or your china needs to be lined with bubble wrap, be sure to tell the home moving company ahead of time.

Arrange child/pet-sitting services for moving day – Little feet can bring big joy, but they can also create monumental hazards for the movers and can easily get injured in the shuffle of moving day. Make sure you hire a responsible off-site sitter to provide care for your children or pets on moving day. Not only will you keep them from being inadvertently injured during the move, but you can also help them avoid getting stressed by the hectic nature of moving day.

Pack an overnight moving bag – You don’t want the home moving company to pack quite everything! Your toothbrush, a few changes of clothes, medical records, drivers’ licenses, and a blanket and pillow for each member of the family should be put into a special moving bag and kept with you during the moving process so these important items are readily available when you need them.
