Maximize Your Moving Day in Edmonton: Essential Tips from Stallion Moving and Storage
Moving day can be a whirlwind of activity, especially when you’re transitioning to a new home in Edmonton. With Stallion Moving and Storage handling your move, you have experts in residential relocations at your service. But what should you be doing while our professional team efficiently manages your move? Here are some key tips to ensure a smooth transition:
1. Be Present and Available:
It’s tempting to head straight to your new Edmonton home, but staying at your old residence during the move is crucial. Your presence ensures you can oversee the process, answer any queries our team might have, and have the satisfaction of closing your front door one final time.
2. Pack and Label Last-Minute Essentials:
While our team handles the heavy lifting, gather items you’ve used in the last 24 hours. Toothbrushes, towels, and even the dishes from your last meal in your old home should be packed in a “24 Hour Essentials” box, clearly labeled for easy access.
3. Keep Your ‘Must-Haves’ Separate:
Set aside an “Essentials” box containing crucial items like medication, important documents, and immediate necessities. This box should travel with you, ensuring you have everything you need immediately upon arrival at your new Edmonton home.
4. Secure Pets and Children:
With the hustle and bustle of moving day, it’s important to keep pets and children safe. Designate a room for them to stay in, ensuring they’re out of the way and safe from any moving day hazards.
5. Provide Refreshments:
A simple gesture like offering hot drinks in the cold Edmonton winters or cool beverages in summer can be a great morale booster for our moving team. A small token of appreciation like this goes a long way.
6. Transport Fragile and Valuable Items Personally:
For items that are particularly fragile or valuable, consider moving them yourself. This includes electronics, artwork, and other sensitive items that you might prefer to handle personally.
7. Conduct a Final Walkthrough:
Before leaving your old home for the last time, do a thorough check. Look through each room, check all appliances, and ensure everything is unplugged and turned off. This final inspection is essential for peace of mind.
8. Trust the Professionals:
Remember, you’ve enlisted the services of Stallion Moving and Storage for their expertise in residential moves. Our seasoned team brings a wealth of experience, ensuring your belongings are handled with the utmost care. Your role? Simply to allow us to do what we do best.
