The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and moving season is in full swing! While summer is a popular time to relocate, the heat, increased demand, and vacation schedules can make it a bit more challenging. But fear not! EZ Moving is here with your essential summer moving tips for a smooth and stress-free summer move.
Summer is peak season for moving companies, so it’s crucial to book your movers well in advance. This will not only secure your preferred date but also give you plenty of time to prepare. Don’t forget to compare quotes and research companies to ensure you’re choosing the right fit for your needs.
Moving in the summer heat can be exhausting. Schedule your move for the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and take breaks in the shade when needed. If possible, provide fans or air conditioning for your movers – a comfortable crew is a happy and efficient crew!
Summer brings humidity, which can damage sensitive items. Pack your belongings in sturdy boxes, and use plastic wrap and moisture absorbers for delicate items like electronics and artwork. Label everything clearly and create an inventory list to keep track of your possessions.
If you’re moving long distance, plan for the transportation of perishable items like food and plants. Use coolers for food and consider giving away or donating plants that may not survive the journey.
Keep everyone in the loop about your move, including your real estate agent, utility companies, friends, and family. Communicate any special requests or concerns to your movers well in advance. Clear communication ensures everyone is on the same page, preventing misunderstandings and delays.
Moving can be stressful, but it’s also an exciting new chapter. Take a deep breath, relax, and focus on the positives. Enlist the help of friends and family to lighten the load, and reward yourself and your crew with a celebratory meal or activity once the move is complete.
