Moving soon? Whether it’s a big or small move, residential
moving can be a daunting, overwhelming task. But one strategy to ensure a
smooth move is to hire a residential moving company. Local homeowners have been
entrusting 1st Choice Movers for years with all of their residential
moving needs in Ramsey County. 1st Choice is here to help. As your local
movers, we would like to provide a few tips, tricks and supplies to make sure
you’ve got what you need for a fantastic move. The following is a set of tips
that can help:
- When it comes to residential moving, keep a printed list, folder or digital file to help ensure proper organization for moving day. Stow away important paperwork, business cards and notes. Staying organized keeps all that you need in one place, ridding you of worry and the potential for panic.
- Create and follow a budget. In addition to the cost of hiring a residential moving company, make sure to budget for other smaller elements of your move. Some of these may include boxes, bubble wrap, storage services, gas, pet or child care—really any costs that may arise related to your move.
- Keep some extra empty boxes around. You may have forgotten to clean out under the bathroom sink or the small closet right beside it. Times like these, extra boxes and packing tape are invaluable.
- A couple of days before your move, consider heading over to the new dwelling to do any prep work. Clean, put some food and drink in the house—get any advance work out of the way to ease the burden of the big day itself.
- You might need to do some quick cleaning on moving day, so having a multi-purpose cleaner around is helpful as well.
- Even if you were done packing before your residential moving team arrived, you still might want to have a permanent marker or two on hand. You might notice that you forgot to label a box or another item and having a marker ready for this task can make it a bit less frustrating and time-consuming.
- Don't forget to leave a spare roll of toilet paper in your bathroom, and be sure to have a roll or two of paper towels too. Spills and accidents happen, so it makes those situations a lot less stressful if the paper towels are easy to find.
- Not only are trash bags good to have one lying around so people have somewhere to throw their trash but they are also good to carry items in, including softer items you might have to pack at the last minute, like bedding or towels.
