3 Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make During Your Next Move

Are you getting ready to move to a new home? If yes, you know that it can be stressful. To cut down on the stress and make things go smoothly, take a look at three mistakes you don’t want to make during your next move.

#1: Don’t Underestimate Your Budget

One mistake that can throw a massive curveball into your move is underestimating your budget. It’s critical to do your research and talk to moving companies, so you have realistic expectations when it comes to setting your budget. This not only includes the movers but also consider gas, mileage, hotel, food, and other expenses that can go along with a relocation.

#2: Give Yourself Enough Prep Time

Packing always takes longer than you think, and you always need more boxes and packing paper than you expect. If you’re packing yourself, give yourself plenty of time to be sure you aren’t scrambling at the last minute, which can lead to improper packing and breakage. If you’re worried about timing and supplies, consider having your moving company do the packing for you.

#3: DIYing Your Move

Moving a household from one place to another is more work than many anticipate, especially as you get older, your family grows, and the number of belongings you have increases. Relying on friends and a rental truck is not only unfair to your friends, but it’s often much more labor and work than you imagine. Instead of risking injury to yourself and damage to your friendships, be practical about the amount of work involved and hire a professional moving company instead.

If you’re prepping for a move, our movers can help it go smoothly and help keep you from making some common moving mistakes. Contact the pros at Nilson Van and Storage for your next move.
