How to Prepare for a Smooth House Move

Moving day can feel overwhelming, but careful preparation can make everything easier. Start by decluttering your home – moving items you no longer need is a waste of time and money. Sort your belongings into keep, donate, and discard piles at least two weeks before your move.

Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape to protect your items. Label each box by room and content; this simple step will save you hours when unpacking. For fragile items, wrap them individually and mark boxes as “FRAGILE” so they’re handled with extra care.

If possible, pack non-essential items early to reduce last-minute stress. Essentials like toiletries, bedding, and a few kitchen items should go into a “first night” box that stays with you during the move.

Finally, book your man and van service in advance, especially during busy seasons like weekends or holidays. A reliable team can assist with heavy lifting, ensuring your furniture and valuables are moved safely and on time.
