3 Ways to Prepare for a Summer Move

It’s summertime, which means lots of people are planning a move to a new home. If you’re one of those people, are you ready? A lot goes into moving, but there are ways to make it easier. Take a look at our three top tips to prepare for a summer move.

#1: Clear the Clutter

Before you spend time and money moving clutter from one home to the next, clean it out. Summer is a great time for a garage sale, after all! Go through your closets, dressers, cupboards, and basement and get rid of anything you no longer want or need. It will lighten the load come moving time.

#2: Book Your Movers

Because summer is such a busy time for moving companies, getting on their schedule as early as possible is important. As soon as you know your desired move date, contact your moving company and book your move.

#3: Pack Carefully

Careful packing is critical to a smooth move. You don’t want to get to your new house to find your breakables in pieces. Prepare ahead of time with the right packing supplies to take care of all of your belongings, both fragile and not. Better yet, have packing services included in your move quote and let the professionals handle everything from start to finish.

If you’re moving this summer, it’s important to have all of your ducks in a row, so it goes smoothly with as little stress as possible. For all the help you need, book your move with the professionals at Nilson Van and Storage. They’ll take care of the packing and heavy lifting, so you can focus on the excitement of moving to a new home.
