At DC Pro Movers our goal is to make your move as smooth as possible. Whether you’re moving locally or across the country, we want to help make it stress-free. We are a family owned and operated company with 14+ years of experience. Our movers are extensively trained, courteous and professional. Follow these tips for a smooth moving day:
1. Plan Ahead
- Start early. Don’t procrastinate! Although moving is overwhelming, you’ll be happy that you started early rather than cramming it all in the last week before your move.
- Make a check list. Who doesn’t love a good checklist? They help you stay organized and on top of your projects. And moving is a large project!
2. De-clutter before or while you’re packing
- The more you get rid of, the less there is to pack. This is the time to donate and get rid of old clothes, books, etc. Less is more!
3. Pack smartly
- Don’t skimp out on the packing materials. Use sturdy boxes and high quality tape. Use wardrobe boxes for your hanging clothes, dish boxes for your dishes, and bubble wrap for your fragile items.
- The more efficiently that you pack, the happier you’ll be. Label those boxes (note when they’re fragile!), and pack similar items together so unpacking will be easier.
4. Update your address for utilities, subscriptions, and USPS
- Here is a list of a number of places you should update: Your bank/credit cards, USPS, water company, electric company, gas company, magazines, library, Amazon, schools, MVA, etc. Create a check list and mark them as you go.
5. Hire professional movers
- That’s where we come in! Hire DC Pro Movers to take a load off of your shoulders.
6. Get coverage for your pets/children on moving day, if applicable
- Moving is difficult enough- doing it with small children and pets around will make it more difficult. Having someone to assist you with watching your children and pets is a moving day must!
I hope these tips were helpful. Best of luck on your moving day!
