There is plenty to think about and do when you are moving.
You have to make a lot of different decisions, and there is usually a strict
time frame that everything has to be done by. One thing you should think about
and prepare for is the day your professional movers arrive. You may think all
you have to do is make sure everything is packed and ready to go, but there are
a few other items you should make sure you get done too. Here are a few tips
from some professional movers in the Twin Cities.
First of all, make sure you know what our movers are and are
not allowed to move. For example, we cannot move gas cans, paint cans or
firewood. You might also want to move fragile items yourself, including
computers and electronics. These items should be moved either before or after
our movers arrive at your house. If you will be moving them after, be sure to
let us know what items not to load.
We will lay down protective coverings on your floors, but if
you have any area rugs that are particularly valuable to you, you might want to
move those aside as well. It is better to err on the side of caution, even
though our movers do everything they can to ensure your belongings do not get
damaged.
Make sure there is a clear, safe path between where we will
park our moving van and the front door of your home. This includes shoveling
snow or de-icing the sidewalks if it has recently snowed. You also want to be
sure there is a clear path inside the home for use to get your items out. In
other words, don’t leave last-minute items in hallways or places where they
could be tripped over while moving other larger items.
Finally, be sure every last item is packed, boxed and ready
to go. Make sure all boxes are closed and sealed with packing tape. You may
want to have an empty box or two set aside for last-minute things you need to
pack. That can also help you stay organized while our movers are there doing
their work.
