One Week Before Moving Day: A Critical Time in the Moving Process

Even though you should begin the moving process about two months before moving day arrives, the week prior to moving day is the most critical time in the entire process. This is because if anything is going to go wrong, this is usually when it happens. It is critical that you take care of everything you can in the week leading up to the arrival of the movers so that you aren’t as stressed out as you would be otherwise. Here are the things you need to take care of in those seven days.

1.    Contact your movers to confirm their arrival time and to make sure they have your correct current address and your correct future address.

2.    Even if you think you already have this information, you should still double-check it with your moving company. You just don’t want to take any chances.

One Final Checklist for Moving Day

Once the movers have left your current home and are on their way to your future home, you probably think your job is done. At least, it’s done until you get to your new home and have to start the arduous task of unpacking. However, you are not quite ready to say goodbye to your old house yet. You still need to make sure it’s ready for its new occupants or for the management company to inspect in order to release your deposit. Here is one final checklist for you to complete before you can join your movers on the road to your new house.

1.    Turn off your air conditioning unit or your heat. Unless someone is moving in that very day, you do not want to be heating or cooling an empty home. The new occupants will need to be the ones who take care of turning those units back on. You will also want to turn off all fans so that you aren’t running up the electrical bills either.

What Needs to be Done After the Movers Leave

Once your move has been completed and the movers have dropped off your very last box, it is time to get settled in your new home. Of course, that certainly means unpacking, which is not a very pleasant task, but it also means that you have new jobs that need to be completed in order to get your new life off to a smooth start. Here is a list of tasks you need to do after the movers have unloaded your belongings and you are ready to begin your new life.

1. Visit the Department of Motor Vehicles and have your vehicles transferred from your old area to your new one. You will also want to renew your license to reflect your new address. If you have moved to a different state, you will also want to get new license plates as well.

What Needs to be Done a Day Before a Move

The time has arrived. Tomorrow, your movers will show up bright and early, ready to load your belongings on their truck and transport them to your new home. The day before a move can be the most stressful time of the entire process, which means you are likely to forget important tasks if you aren’t prepared. For this reason, it is important for you to have a checklist of jobs that need to get done before those movers arrive the next day.

1. Clear your walks and steps leading up to your door. If they are covered in snow or ice, you will want to make them safe for your movers by shoveling snow and melting ice.

2. Defrost and clean out your refrigerator and freezer. This can actually be done a couple of days before the move, but it must be done at least one day prior to make sure you have enough time for the defrosting process.
