Prepare in Advance
Some houses do not need a lot of work to be staged before the movers come. It may seem that the only thing that needs your attention is putting up the curtains. However, you will find out that you actually need to consider a variety of different things.
The more prepared you are, the less stress there will be when the movers arrive. Some things may need to be done on the day of the move rather than a few days later. If you have done any preparing in advance, there is no need to waste your time trying to figure out how to stage the house when they arrive.
You will find that it will look just like they showed you when they arrived if you prepare your home correctly. The best way to stage a home is to have a professional stage your home for the moving company.
Set Up Your New Home in Advance
You should start preparing your new home for the movers by moving your carpets and furniture. You may also need to remove any large items from the rooms such as a bedroom wardrobe. This leaves more room on the floor that the movers can use to pack and unpack everything.
Then you should clean up your belongings to make sure that they are presentable and safe for the movers to transport. If there are not any large Items left in your home, then you should place them in storage somewhere.
You should ask your family and friends to help with carrying any large or breakable items. Even if you have a small car, you can hire a vehicle to transport your belongings in. Contact your homeowner’s insurance company to see what kind of coverage they offer. By making these preparations ahead of time, you should be able to get the most out of your home when the movers come.
Protect the Floors
Before the movers come, make sure that all the floors in your home are thoroughly cleaned. You should also remove all the items from the floor and cover up everything. Protect your floors by laying protective sheets over them, especially in the hallway and the stairways. Some companies will only work on floors that are already level, while others will work on any level surface. Make sure that you wear protective shoes with steel toes and heels while you are mopping, so that you can avoid tripping and falling on wet floors.
You should put the protective gear on before the movers arrive so that you don’t have to leave them while they are digging up your floors. Even though the movers are working on the concrete, moisture can still seep through, and you should lay the sheet so that any liquid that comes out won’t be absorbed by the concrete. The protective sheets should be kept at least one foot away from the floor, and preferably two to three feet away. Putting the protective gear to also protect your family from the grinding of the heels of the movers’ shoes on the concrete when they are walking.
Turn-on the Heat
Turn-on the heat before the movers come. This is the number one preparation task you can do to make your move a success. You’re getting ready to heat up your entire house, including your car or truck. Before the movers come, you first want to make sure that your house is as warm as it can be. If you left half of your ceiling or floor bare, you may want to have someone wet-clean it. You’ll also want to turn on your main thermostat so that your house will be evenly warmed. Once you’ve ensured that your house is heated, you can begin the actual moving process.
Once the movers arrive, you can go ahead with your plan and start unloading your belongings. You can then open up your windows and let the sun come in through them so that you can enjoy the warm rays of the sun while you load up your things into your truck and drive out to your new home.
Secure Parking
You must secure the parking space for the truck in advance. It is a good idea to contact the local government and get a permit to park. Double check to see if your insurance has coverage for a moving truck. You should also get an estimate from your moving company for the distance the truck is going to cover.
If the estimate is less than what you have paid, you may want to call the moving company and see if they can give you a better estimate. You can create a sign with your name, phone number and address.
Be Familiar with the New Place
Take a walk around the area where you are moving to make sure everything is in good condition. Check out the street address so you know what street you are going to be moving to. The new surroundings will be prepared in front of the truck so you can look at it before the movers bring it inside.
Check if there are any underground facilities or if any new sewage plants or power plants are around.
The movers will unload all your things and put them in the truck before they park it in the driveway of your home. The truck will then be driven to your home and you should inspect it closely before they leave.
Once you have done this, the movers will prepare the place for them and pack everything into boxes. You should keep a lookout for new appliances like the washer and dryer so you do not find out after you have started using them that they do not work properly. You should also ensure that there are no broken or damaged things so you do not have to pay for replacement right away.
Avoid all Shipping Problems
One of the most common shipping problems is when the shipping company fails to show up on time. In order to avoid shipping problems, it is important to research the company before you hire them. The best way to solve any type of shipping problem is to prepare for it in advance. If you know in advance that there are going to be problems with the items you are sending, you should try and prepare for them in advance and avoid the shipping problems before the movers arrive.
Research Shipping Companies or the Movers Prior
Moreover, to avoid shipping problems like the one mentioned above, you should consider researching the shipping company before you hire them. You should talk to their customer service department and find out information such as the customer feedback and the number of complaints they have. This will help you find out if you are hiring the best shipping company or not. In addition to this, you should avoid using a company that has a poor track record or no track record at all.
