3 Tips to Help You Pack and Move Like a Pro

According to research, many people move homes ten times throughout their lifetime. Unfortunately, moving to a new home can be stressful, complicated, and tiring, though it doesn’t have to be.

For a hassle-free and enjoyable move, then you need to work with one of the top movers in our area, Around Town Movers. You also need to follow these tips:

• Declutter – You might be surprised with how much stuff you actually have in your home. To help make your job easier, let some of your items go. Consider giving your items to charity, or giving them to your friends. Around Town Movers can assist you with our disposal services.

• Prepare Your Packing Supplies – First, take an inventory of the items you are taking on the trip and those that you will place in storage. Then, get cardboard boxes of different sizes, strong tape, self-seal bags, bubble wrap, and other packing supplies. We recommend overestimating the number of boxes you need.

• If you need help, give us a call. As one of the leading home and office movers in our area, we can provide you with a full range of packing supplies and even help you pack.

• Be Ready for Moving Day – Buy fruit, have bottles of water on hand, and prepare sandwiches for the big day. You need food that you can eat on the move. You also need to prepare for your first night or day in your new property. Keep towels, toiletries, and bed linen close to hand, and make sure your utilities all work in the new home. If you are moving with kids, let them pack their toys and choose their own rooms. If you are moving with pets, make sure that they are chipped and if possible, have them stay with a friend or in a kennel.
