Signs You Should Hire a Professional for Your Residential Move

Moving can be a complex and stressful process, especially when handling it on your own. Here are some signs that you should consider hiring a professional moving company for your residential move:

Heavy or Fragile Items: You have large, heavy furniture or fragile items that require special handling.

Limited Time: Your schedule is tight, and you don't have the time to manage all the logistics of moving.

Lack of Equipment: You don’t have the necessary equipment, like dollies and moving blankets, to safely transport your belongings.

Physical Limitations: You have physical limitations or health concerns that make lifting and moving heavy items difficult.

Long Distance: Your move involves long distances, making it more complicated and time-consuming to do it yourself.

Stress Reduction: You want to reduce the stress and hassle associated with moving by letting professionals handle the details.

Preparing for Your Residential Move

If you hire a professional company like CT Moving and Storage to aid with your residential move, then you can be certain that that particular portion of the moving process is out of your hands. But how can you make the process easier for them? Below is a list of tips to remember to be ready for when the movers do arrive and are ready to start moving:

Have boxes ready and packed to the top with possessions and packing peanuts. (Don’t have time to do the packing portion of the move either? We also offer professional packing services!)

Tape the boxes on both the top and bottom to make sure they are secure.

Label each box with the room it will go in when it arrives at your new residence.

Remove any loose clothing from dressers (you can leave most clothing, just take out anything sticking out or personal items).

Clear all walkways to make sure movers will not be tripping over things like furniture, pets, or small children while transporting your possessions.

Have all boxes stacked in one area on the main level before the movers arrive.

  • How Do I Properly Pack My Boxes?

    To start, make sure box is properly taped on bottom to support weight of packed goods. Layer the bottom of box with packing paper to form a soft cushioned bottom. Start by packing heavier items on bottom working to lightest goods on top. Make sure to use plenty of packing paper, packing peanuts or foam to protect your goods. After one layer is packed, make another layered cushion of packing paper on top and start filling box again. This will create an extra layer of cushion inside your packed box. Make sure there are no empty spaces and that nothing is shifting around inside your box. Always pack your box all the way to the top (this will allow for a crush-free box). Once packed to top, fold flaps in and use 3 pieces of tape to ensure top will stay closed. Label your box properly.

    • Always pack the box full from bottom to top. Remember boxes are supposed to be full and sometimes are on the heavier side. If there is give in the box, goods can become damaged.
