Moving your household is a big job that takes a lot of work. If you have a busy life, it may be challenging for you to get everything done. This might cause you to take shortcuts and not pack properly. It's important to protect all of your things since they could be jostled around on the moving truck.
If you don't have time to do your own packing, see if your mover offers this service. Here's information about residential moving services that make moving to a new home less stressful for you.
1. Pack And Unpack
Having your moving service pack all of your things and then unpack them in your new home is one of the most helpful moving services you can book. It's still a good idea to gradually declutter your home first so the movers don't have to pack things you'll throw out when you get to your new home.
When you pay for the packing service, the movers come to your home a day or two before moving day and bring along all the packing supplies they'll need. They go through each room and pack up everything in them.
You don't need to empty drawers or closets because the movers are sure to pack everything in the room and label the boxes. They don't do any sorting. All they do is box things up, so the work goes fast, especially when there's a small crew working.
When you get to your new home, the movers unpack everything in reverse so the contents of your drawers are put back in their rightful places. This type of full-service move is more expensive, but it can be well worth the cost to let the professionals pack your things so they survive the move without damage. Plus, this leaves far less work for you to do.
2. Prepare Your Appliances
You may need to empty the refrigerator yourself and clean it, but the moving company will probably prepare your appliances for the move as part of their standard moving service. This might include wrapping the appliances to protect them from scratches and disconnecting them from their power supplies.
3. Break Down Furniture
Your movers may prefer to take sofas, tables, and other pieces of furniture apart so they can be boxed and stacked in the moving truck more easily. If this is necessary, the movers can take the furniture apart and then put it back together in your new home.
4. Supply Moving Boxes
You'll need to have everything boxed and ready to go on moving day, so you should pick up your moving boxes early so you can get them filled as you have time. Residential moving companies can supply you with boxes designed to move things like glasses, books, and other household goods. You'll find mattress boxes, wardrobe boxes, and more. These high-quality boxes are strong and durable so they offer good protection for your fragile items.

Storage facilities are good for more than just long-term storage for items that you just don't have space for in your home. I have used our local storage facility many times over the years for all sorts of things. When we had our hardwood floors refinished, I moved all of the furniture and things into the storage unit. When my son was getting ready to head off to college, we stored all of the things for his dorm room in the storage unit. This blog will give you several ideas about how you can make a storage unit work for you.
