Choosing a Date:
Getting an Estimate
Preparation
You should prioritize your preparation into three areas:
Sort and dispose of any unneeded items through garage sales, donations to charitable organizations, or gifts to friends and family.
Pack areas you don't use often, such as basements, garages, and attics..
Should time permit, consider moving some of the smaller items yourself ; focus on pets, plants, pictures, collectibles and highly sentimental items.
Get rid of unused items prior to your move. Keep in mind that movers are paid by the hour, so it isn't economical to pay them to move items you're going to throw away later.
Professional movers cannot move hazardous items such as propane tanks, firearms and aerosols. Additionally, empty the gas out of any gas-operated items (lawnmower, weed wacker, etc.) prior to moving.
Pick a labeling system and use it consistently so items can efficiently be placed in the correct room. If possible, boxes should be labeled on 3 sides.
