How to Prepare House before Professional Movers Arrive?
Everybody knows that hiring professional and affordable movers will help you move as easily and as quickly as possible. Many removals have been carried out by moving professionals and they know how to deal with all of them. If you're still wondering if you're going to hire a moving company, we are saying go for it! Nevertheless, it must be emphasized that moving experts cannot assist you in all tasks connected with your move. Some things, like moving preparations, you have to do on your own.
Check the Items and Categorize
One of the most important things you need to do when it comes to preparing your home for movers is to take your home off. This helps you to rid yourself of the times that you no longer use. This means you're going to move less items, which will reduce moving costs. To be easy to declutter, three piles must be created:
Items to keep or keep pile
Donate items and make donation pile
Get over a few items or throw away pile
Measure the Home and Furniture
You need to learn how to measure a room and all the large and spacious furniture. Make sure that both your (old and new) homes are measured. You will know if you can fit all your furniture in your new home. If everything you own doesn't have room, get rid of what you don't need.
Please reserve fancy items, which you can sell for your move. Ask for the items that your movers will not move and decide which items you have to do with – use some items (perishable foods, cleaning supplies, etc), give others to your neighbor and friends (paintings, fertilizer , pesticides, motor oils, antifreeze, propane, chemical and other flame retardants, explosive or corrosive products); plan to take the items that are not allowed.
Arrange your moving items to move to your new home – by type, purpose, priority, place of arrival or any other way that makes sense and will help you unwrap them quickly and easily;
Save your valuable and essential items – essential documents, drugs, basic personal care products, some extra clothes and shoes, food, bath and sleep, jewelling, high-value items, expensive electronics, favorite entertaining products, etc.
To prepare your movers for your home, the last thing you should do is to protect it! So cover the carton or plastic on all floors, protect the corners of the walls and, in particular, stairs.
