Preparing for Your Local Phoenix Mover to Arrive at Your Home

Has the time come for you to move to a new home? If the answer to this question is yes, you may be unsure about what you need to do to get your home ready for your local Phoenix mover to arrive on moving day. Here’s a list of things you will want to do before your moving company arrives:

Eliminate any clutter – Before the movers begin packing and loading your belongings, you will want to get rid of any items you no longer want or need in your home. These items might include holiday decorations that you haven’t used for more than a year, clothing that hasn’t been worn in more than a season, outdated furniture or other household goods, and books, magazines, journals, or other literature that you haven’t read in years. These items can be donated to a local church, shelter, or other charitable organization, and may even be used as a tax deduction.*

Have the furniture layout for your new home planned – When your local Phoenix mover arrives to pack your belongings, it is a good idea to already have a plan on where those items will be placed in your new home. Otherwise, there will be a lot of confusion and on-the-fly decisions being made if you wait until the last minute to decide what will be going where. Having the plan made as early as possible and presenting it to your movers will help ensure moving day goes as smoothly as possible.

Hire a sitter for your children or pets – Whether your little ones have two legs or four, it’s important to make sure that they are out of harm’s way come moving project. Hire a trustworthy sitter who can care for your children or pets at a location outside of your home on the day that the movers will be packing and loading your items.

Before your local Phoenix mover arrives at your home, be sure to ask if there are any things you will need to do ahead of time that may be specific to your moving job. For example, if there are tree limbs that are hanging low over your driveway, these may need to be removed by a tree service so the movers’ truck can fit.
