Spring Moving Tips

Moving in the spring in the College Station area has many advantages such as mild temperatures and you can find moving companies are less expensive, because not many homeowners are moving in the spring. In addition, that is also the downside. It’s usually raining in the spring. So, check the weather report. Try to move on a day when it may not rain. However, the rain can’t get you down, if you follow these tips.

Pack Your Winter Items First

You will not need them right away. This makes it easy to move your clothes into your closets and bedroom drawers. Mark your boxes properly, preferably in waterproof containers, and your movers can store them immediately in the garage or attic. That is less to track through your new home.

Protect Your Belongings

Hopefully, you kept your plastic for your mattress. Movers usually use blankets to wrap couches and tables. If you can, get some type of shrink or plastic wrap and wrap all of your important items. If not, many movers can do this for a fee. Make sure to contact them ahead of time so they can prepare time wise. Wrapping all your items keeps them dry and prevents mold.

Setup a Landing Place

Instead of walking constantly back through the home and dripping water or damaging carpets, set up a landing place in your new home. Once it’s packed, the workers can take off their shoes or put on booties and continue on through the home.

Protect Your Flooring

Collect old carpeting, cardboard, tarps, or plywood. You can line your floor with these items. This way, when the movers walk through, you are not damaging your floors.

Take Breaks

We usually hate to see movers take breaks – they are on the clock! However, if it’s raining, it won’t hurt to offer a few warm drinks, water, and a mild snack. They are uncomfortable and wet. You want them to be as comfortable as possible while moving your precious furniture and in the ever changing College Station weather, it can go from cool and raining to hot and muggy within hours.
