Tips for a Stress-Free Moving Day

The secret to a stress-free move is to understand the entire process and to work with a professional, experienced mover. The amount of planning and effort that goes into a move is significant. You have to take care of different aspects of the move in advance to ensure a smooth transition. If you don’t adequately prepare, you’ll be overwhelmed with the many tasks a move requires. 

As one of the most experienced home and office movers in Washington D.C. and all of Northern Virginia, Around Town Movers helps customers make this process less taxing. As soon as you get a closing date on your new home, you have to start your preparation. For starters, here are the key things you should cover as your moving day draws near:

Pack Smart

Packing is labor-intensive, but not necessarily demanding. If you think you have to spend an entire weekend just for packing, there are many ways to make this easier. Consider boxing certain items in groups. Start early, so that you won’t be rushed once the big day arrives.

If you prefer using your time for other things, we offer a wide range of professional pre and post-move services. Unlike other townhouse and apartment movers in Arlington, VA, we can take care of decluttering, sorting, organizing, furniture disassembly and assembly, and unpacking.

Switch Services

Especially if you’re moving to a vacant or a newly built home, you should transfer your utilities to your new place before the move. Transferring your phone, Internet, satellite TV and other utilities may require new installations. This means it might take more than one day to re-establish your services if you choose to take care of them after the move.  For your convenience, make the necessary arrangements early.

Prioritize Your Essentials

If your new home is within a short driving distance, move your basics before the move. As experienced local movers in Reston, VA, we know that unpacking your bathroom supplies, two days’ worth of clothes, and some food will help. This will be essential as the first 48 hours after the move can be quite hectic.

If your new home is further away, pack some of your clothes and toiletries and keep them in your car two to three days before the move. Moving can be exciting, but it can also be daunting for the unprepared. To make your move stress-free, call Around Town Movers at (703) 682-5922 .
