Things Your Movers Wish You Knew

Moving to a new homeBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

Should you be moving and work with a professional moving company in Killeen to help, there are certain things that can be done and other tasks that you don't need to accomplish to help speed up the process. A smooth move comes from everyone working together, which of course means you need to know when to assist and when you need to get out of the way.
 

Below are things which your moving company wants for you to understand.

1) Alert the Movers of Heavy Items

This point ought to be mentioned when you are getting your moving quote, and it’s extremely significant, thus it’s worth bringing up. If you have got cumbersome items, like a grand piano, fridge, or hot tub, which need to be moved, make certain and communicate that to your moving company in Killeen. A number of pieces make take various other preparations, equipment or men to maneuver, hence it is never a good idea to “surprise” the professional mover in Killeen with unexpected pieces.

2) Start Preparing for the Movers Arrival

Are you living in a private neighborhood or an apartment building with an elevator? Can the moving van easily gain access to your house? Take a few minutes in advance of moving day to think through the important points of where the moving van is going to park and what the route to and from the truck looks like. In the event that you need to get a parking or elevator permit from the building management, make sure and do that far ahead of time.

3) Conclude Packing Ahead of Moving Day

If you opt to complete your own packing, be sure that it will be done before moving day. This will mean that all the cartons are taped up and properly labeled. To make things go even swifter, neatly stack all your filled boxes in a central area at your residence, such as the garage or perhaps the living room so that the moving company crew can easily load them directly onto the moving van. Professional tip: Don't use masking tape on your boxes. Apply packaging tape instead.

4) Don’t Pack Heavy Things in Big Cartons

There are recommendations for what to place in which size boxes for a reason. Items which happen to be heavy, such as books, will need to go in small cartons. Pieces that happen to be fairly lightweight, such as pillows and blankets, should go in bigger cartons.

5) Intend to be Present on Moving Day

You or someone who you know and put your trust in must be available for the entire moving day if the movers have any questions on what they should and shouldn’t be moving. Plus, a dependable grownup is required to be present to sign all the mover’s paperwork.

6) Let the Movers Do the Job

You might think that you will be helping if you lend a hand to maneuver the fridge, however it’s often preferable to keep out of the way. You can direct the movers to the correct rooms and also answer questions, however outside of that, let the professional movers in Killeen carry out the work to ensure that things will go as efficiently as it possibly can.

Best. Move. Ever!
Very pleased with the overall respect and care the men gave to my possessions. Even mailing me very quickly the only thing lost in transit. Would recommend to anyone needing a long distant move.
