Packing For A Move? Here’s Your Week-By-Week Guide

Packing your house for a move is not simple. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to preparing for your move, what to pack, and when to do it, as well as some additional moving advice.

8-10 Weeks: Clear Out What You’re Taking With You

  • Clean your house – When you begin packing for a move, a clean house will be more straightforward to get started with;
  • Consider what items you’ll be eliminated in each room – having less stuff to move will help you stay organized during the moving process and save money;
  • You can separate the stuff you don’t want and put them all together to see how much stuff you’ll be taking with you when you move – your mover will be able to tell you how much stuff you’ll be bringing with you to your new home, as well as a fair estimate for your move.

  • Get three quotations from moving firmsCompare The Man & Van can help you here. It’s always a good idea to browse the market before committing to a moving company, especially if you want to save money. Call a few businesses around you to understand how much your move will cost.
  • Reputations on the Internet – Everyone is concerned about how their personal belongings will be handled if they relocate. On review sites such as Yelp or Google, look for moving firms in your region.
  • For larger homes, request a free in-home quotation – In-home estimates are recommended for bigger homes since they will provide you with a better idea of how much your move will cost. This is the most precise method for a moving company’s salesperson to provide you with an accurate quote because they charge by the hour.
  • Check for licensing and insurance – The moving company’s license guarantees that it follows all industry standards and regulations, so your items will be safe.
  • Recommendations from friends, family, or a realtor are your best bet when looking for a Realtor – there’s nothing better than getting a fantastic recommendation from someone you can trust. Check with family and friends on whether they have utilized a reputable moving company in the past and whether they could suggest one to you.

1 Week: The Final Tasks

  • Start packing the kitchen – This may sound like a difficult task, but it doesn’t have to be! The secret to filling your kitchen is keeping organized and using the appropriate supplies to ensure that your plates and glassware do not break.
  • Pack clothing, bedding, and other essentials. Dressers can be carried if they aren’t crammed with clothes and are properly built.
