Tips for Moving in Warm Weather

Moving is a tough process that requires a ton of planning and prepping. Hiring a professional moving company can help to take some of the stress out of your moving day. Here are some important tips for planning and executing a Spring or Summer moving day:

• Spring and Summer are prime moving seasons, so you should always book your moving company as far in advance as possible to schedule your moving day.
• Take advantage of the weather and have a yard sale prior to your move to help take some of the clutter off of your hands.
• Pack a cooler with plenty of water bottles. Moving in the warm weather can take a toll on your (and your moving company) so you’ll want to be sure to stay hydrated.

Temporary Storage

The process of moving can be very stressful. It can be even more stressful when you don't have enough room for all your things in your new home! When this happens, you may want to consider getting a portable storage unit. There are many different variation of these, but most can fit nicely in a parking space and are weather-proof and secure! This makes it very convenient to keep your things in a temporary storage area until you are able to come up with a long term solution.

Portable Storage Options

I recently bought a new house, but unfortunately, my move in date was a few days later than the end of my lease at my old apartment. After hours of trying to make it work, I realized that I would just have to spend a few days on a friends couch. I was happy that I had found a place to stay, but was unsure of what to do with all of my belongings over this few day period. After doing some research online and reading about people who have been in similar situations, I contact a local Arlington VA portable storage company. They dropped off a portable storage unit for all of my stuff and came to pick it up again a few days later. The whole process was simple and stress-free!

Tips for Moving in the Winter

If you're planning to move during the winter, there are a few important steps you should take to ensure that your move goes as smoothly as possible.

• Wear layers to make sure you stay warm throughout the move, but can remove an extra layer if you get hot.
• Shovel walkways and stairs at both your new home and old home to make carrying out boxes and furniture easy.
• Make sure utilities are turned on in your new home, so you're not left without heat or hot water!

Big City

When I came to the city for college, I never anticipated how much I would love it here and that I would plan to stay for life. As graduation rolled around, I took a look around my college apartment and realized that I had accumulated a lot of stuff over the four years I had been here. Once I found the place I was going to be living, I knew that I would need some help moving all of my belongings from one place to the other. The small stuff was easy, but I also had quite a few pieces of furniture that I wouldn't be able to fit in my car. Finding a reliable moving company in Washington DC took some time, but I am so happy with my decision. They were careful to pack up my things safely and move them carefully from one apartment to the next. They even helped me to get some of my stuff set up and moved my furniture around for me when I decided I didn't like the way it was set up! They were so helpful, that the next time I need to move (which I hope won't be for a while!) they are definitely the only people I would call.

Moving Upwards and Onwards

Let's be honest: moving is a colossal pain and no matter how excited you are to get to your new home, it doesn't change the fact that trying to move on your own is nearly impossible. This is how I felt a few months back, when I packed up my stuff to move from one from coast to the other. I thought about doing it on my own (with the help of my friends and family), but it was too much of a burden on other people and at the end of the day I just had too much stuff to really make that work. I was happy to find a moving company in Alexandria VA. Not only did they help me to pack up and secure some of my bigger items, they arrived at my place even before I did! When I got there, they got right to work bringing everything into my new home and unwrapping it in front of me to show that nothing had been damaged on the way there. I couldn't imagine the move without their help!
