Things Your Movers Wish You Knew

Moving to a new homeBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

If you're moving and hire a professional moving company in Denver to help, there are some things that you can do and various tasks that you don't need to do to speed up the task. A streamlined move comes from everybody cooperating, and this means you need to know when to assist and when you need to get out of the way.
 

Here are items which your moving company would really like for you to realize.

1) Alert the Movers of Awkward Pieces

This particular point ought to be discussed when you are getting your moving estimation, and it is extremely important, so it is worth mentioning. If you have bulky items, for instance a grand piano, refrigerator, or hot tub, that must be moved, make sure and relay that to your moving company in Denver. A number of pieces make require extra arrangements, equipment or men to safely move, so it is never a good idea to “surprise” your professional mover in Denver with unplanned items.

2) Prepare for the Movers Arrival

Are you living inside a gated community or an apartment building that has an elevator? Can the moving truck conveniently get access to your residence? Take a minute prior to moving day to think through the details of where the moving van will park and what the route back and forth from the truck looks like. If you need to get a parking or elevator permit from the building administrator, be sure and do that well in advance.

3) Complete Packing Ahead of Moving Day

If you decide to undertake your own packing, be sure that it will be done before moving day. This means that all the cartons are taped up and accurately labeled. To make things go even faster, neatly stack all your packed cartons in a central place in your residence, such as the garage or perhaps the great room so that your moving company crew will be able to load them directly onto the moving van. Expert tip: Do not ever use masking tape for your boxes. Apply packaging tape instead.

4) Do not Load Heavy Things in Large Cartons

There are recommendations for what to put in which size boxes for a reason. Items that happen to be quite heavy, like books, need to go in smaller cartons. Items that are relatively lightweight, including pillows and blankets, should go in bigger boxes.

5) Intend to be Present on Moving Day

You or someone who you know and trust have to be on hand for the entire moving day in case your movers have questions regarding what they should and shouldn’t be moving. Furthermore, a responsible adult must be present to sign all the mover’s paperwork.

6) Let the Movers Get the Job Done

You may think that you will be helping if you assist to maneuver the fridge, but it is generally advisable to remain out of the way. You might guide the movers to the right rooms and respond to questions, but outside of that, let the professional movers in Denver carry out the heavy lifting so that things go as quickly as possible.

Very pleased with the overall respect and care the men gave to my possessions. Even mailing me very quickly the only thing lost in transit. Would recommend to anyone needing a long distant move.
