How to Plan Your Residential Move?
Having a step-by-step plan for your residential move can help you prepare for upcoming challenges and reduce the number of things that can go wrong during the moving process. Here are some helpful tips on how to prepare for a residential move:
Declutter and downsize
The number of items you have directly affects the price of your move. So in order to save time and money, try to get rid of all old, unessential and broken items. These things can quickly add up and increase your cost several times without providing any value in the future.
Choose a moving company
Once you have only essential items, get quotes from several moving companies in your area. Make sure to check their reviews and the services they provide. Unlike STC Movers, some moving companies may not help you with packing, furniture assembly or storage.
Get packing supplies
If you choose an experience Montreal moving company, like STC Movers, we can provide you with all the packing supplies you will need, such as boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, and markers for labelling. Alternatively, you can purchase these supplies at your local grocery stores and retailers.
Prepare for a moving day
Make arrangements for parking, elevator usage, cleaning services and any other logistics that may be needed on a moving day. Keep important documents, valuables, and essential items such as medications and a change of clothes in a separate place for easy access. Empty the fridge, freezer and all drawers as much as possible and free up access to the appliances.
Why Choose Professional Movers?
If it’s your first time moving, you might think asking friends for help is much better than hiring professional residential movers. While it can be true for small moves, when you only need to move a bed and a couple of appliances, with larger moves, it can quickly turn into a disaster.
The first thing is the amount of experience and physical power needed to do it right. Many people think that they can lift heavy objects like pianos easily, but the truth is that an average person can’t. That leads to a lot of accidents and injuries.
Another thing is the right timing. Since your friends have their own jobs to attend to during the day, and sometimes, on weekends, they might cancel on you at the last moment. Apart from being upsetting, it can be quite costly because you will have to look for the best movers around at the last minute and accept any quote you’re offered.
Lastly, since your friends are not professional residential movers, they don’t have any moving insurance, which means you will have to pay for any damage they do to your property. As we’ve mentioned before, they can heavily overestimate their abilities to move hefty items.
Overall, asking your friends for help instead of hiring residential movers can be risky and potentially cost you ten times more than professional services.
Residential moving can be expensive, but with careful planning and budgeting, you can find ways to save money even if you use a moving service. Here are some tips:
Compare Moving Quotes
It is always a good idea to get quotes from different moving companies to make sure you’re not paying too much. Although, we strongly encourage you to keep in mind that the lowest quote doesn’t necessarily differ only in price from the highest quote but also in the quality of service.
Get Rid of Useless Items
The less stuff you have to move, the cheaper it will be. Take the opportunity to declutter and downsize your belongings before your move. Sell, donate, or discard items you no longer need or use.
Do the Packing Yourself
Consider packing yourself to save money. Hiring professional packers can be convenient, but it can also add to your moving expenses. Start packing early and pack efficiently to minimize the risk of damage during the move.
Plan Your Move Several Months Ahead
Moving during peak season or on weekends can be more expensive. The more time you give your moving company, the higher the chance they will be able to find a good price for you.
