7 Tips to Avoid Moving Headaches

7 ways to smile on moving day

Looking to move but don’t want to deal with the many headaches that can come along with the big day? Here are seven tips to avoid them altogether:

No. 1: Pack Beforehand

Don’t leave packing to the last minute. Start preparing your belongings early and ensure that everything is ready to go on moving day. If you need help, give us a call at Fireman Movers DFW.  We can make every step of the moving process simpler for you – including packing!

No. 2: Plan Properly

No matter who you hire or convince to help you on moving day, they have plans of their own that don’t involve your move. Likewise, your job, your child’s school, or personal commitments may make some moving dates tricky, so be sure to consult your calendar before deciding definitively on anything.

No. 3: Prep Your New Property (Or Have It Prepared)

Make sure your new home is ready to move into. Look for moving services near you like Fireman Movers that offers both moving and cleaning services. We’ll help you ensure that the place is move-in ready and one step away from home when you arrive!

No. 4: Anticipate Bad Weather

You can never truly predict the weather. No matter how many forecasts you try to plan around, unexpected rain, sweltering heat or teeth-chattering chill can all dampen your spirits when moving day arrives. Prepare for these in advance where practical, so nothing catches you off-guard.

No. 5: Design Your Space Ahead of Time

Plan where your going to put your furniture and other possessions before moving them into your new space. This will not only make putting everything where it goes on moving day easier, but it will give you an idea of what will fit and what might need to find a home with someone else.

No. 6: Secure Childcare

Your kids may be excited about the move, but unless they are older and able to safely help, they should have somewhere to go during the actual process of moving. This will prevent injuries and boredom.

No. 7: Think of Your Pets

Just as your children will need proper care and supervision during moving day and some preliminary events, so will your pets. Consider moving animals to your new location first, boarding them overnight or otherwise safely securing them so they won’t be underfoot or get injured.

  • Mike Z

    I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
