What No One Tells You About Moving in The Winter

Moving is hard no matter the season, but moving in winter has its unique challenges. Though lots of people dread it, the good news is, it’s not as bad as everyone says. Take a look at what no one tells you about moving in winter.

It’s a Great Time to Move

Fewer people move during the winter months. Less demand means more availability when it comes to moving companies and flexible move dates. It also means the possibility of reduced seasonal rates.

You’re Still at the Weather’s Mercy

Even in the south, you’re still at the mercy of the weather, no matter the season. In the winter, you need to plan for possible delays. Not only could weather impact your timing, but there’s less daylight in the winter. Take that into consideration when planning a winter move and incorporate flexibility into your planning.

Protect Both of Your Homes

As you’re moving out of one home and into another, protect your floors and carpets. Winter is wetter, and there’s a greater chance for dragging mud in on shoes and boots, especially with the increased traffic of your moving company. Make sure they lay down protective plastic at the home you’re moving out of and the one you’re moving into.

Trust Your Moving Company

When you hire a moving company, you get their expertise, which includes knowing the ins and outs of moving in winter. Even in the colder months, Nilson Van and Storage has got your back when it comes to residential moves. Contact them today for a free estimate for your winter move.
