The Woodlands’ Best Moving Tips and Tricks

Before you start packing to move, declutter and purge your home. Free up space by donating items you don’t want or need, or have a yard sale to lighten your load. Now that you’re down to the essentials, let’s get to those 10 best moving tips.

1. Organize Your Documents

First, make a binder with moving documents and a list of important phone numbers.

2. Set Up Utilities

Next, call all Woodlands utility companies and cable providers to find out about deadlines and availability. Be sure to ask about having services active in both homes for a few days. Get an address change and mail-forwarding request in early.

3. Gather Supplies

Find moving boxes and packing supplies. Ameritex Woodlands Movers has a variety of moving boxes and packing supplies. Don’t forget to get your markers, scissors, packing tape, newspapers for wrapping, and bubble wrap.

4. Use The Right-Sized Boxes

Designate small boxes to use for books, dishes, and small appliances. Medium-sized boxes are best for pots and pans, and electronics. Use larger boxes for lighter items like pillows, toys, and blankets.

5. Pack One Room at a Time

Don’t forget this packing hack: pack one room at a time. It is easier to find items in your new home when they have clear labels. Decide where furniture will go in your new home, which will help when directing the moving company.

6. Pad Your Breakables

Newspapers and towels are great for protecting goods. Art, as well as plasma and large-screen televisions, require special care. It’s a good idea to ask your Woodlands movers how you should prepare these items. After that, bundle all wiring and chargers with a tie wrap and label them for easy hook-up.

7. Use What You Have

Pack clothing and other small non-breakables in luggage, duffle bags, and storage bins. Also, try wrapping hanging clothes in blankets.

8. Properly Pack Liquids

Pack cleaning supplies and toiletries in a bin or plastic bag, and then tape lids.

9. Have the Essentials Handy

Remember to pack a bag of items you will need in your final days before the move. Include clothing, medications, and jewelry that you want to have on hand.

10. Prep the Kids and Pets

Prepare special arrangements for pets and have their favorite toys and treats available. Decide if your kids will be off-site during the move or how you will get them involved.

Take the moving process one step at a time. By following the best moving tips, you can get into your new place, unpack with ease, and start enjoying your new Woodlands home. Call Ameritex today to book your Woodlands move.
