Checklist for a Local Move

Checklist for a Local Move
There are so many details to keep track of when you are planning a local move. From packing to hiring movers to finding someone to watch your dog, there are a lot of small details that can get forgotten about. Hiring movers can make your move easier because some of the weight will be taken off your shoulders, but you might still need a way to keep track of everything. Use our local moving checklist to make sure you get everything done before the big day.

1. Have a good moving plan.
Plan all the details of your moving day including what time the truck is arriving, finding a safe place to park the truck, and how long it will take to get from one home to the other.

2. Get a quote.
Reach out to local movers for a quote to see how much their moving and storage services cost. You want to compare quotes to make sure you get the best price and a professional service.

3. Purchase packing supplies.
If you are packing yourself, you will have to purchase boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and whatever else you need to pack all of your things carefully. It is a smart idea to hire professional movers to do all of this for you to take some of your stress away, especially for the most fragile items.

4. Declutter before you pack.
Take inventory of what you want to move to your new house and what is staying behind. If you do this, you won't pay to move any items that you aren't keeping and save yourself some space at the new place.

5. Pack an essentials box.
Make sure you pack a box of things you will need the first night in your new home like a change of clothes, hygiene products, pet food, and even a plate or eating utensils so that you can easily locate them before everything is unpacked.
