How to Prepare for a Moving Company

Preparing for a Moving Company with All My Sons Moving & Storage

Preparing for a move can be challenging if you don’t know where to begin. As professional Albuquerque full-service movers, the ins and outs of moving are a part of our everyday rituals. We know how to pack a home in no time flat, how to get every box and piece of furniture into our moving truck, and how to properly wrap all your belongings for a safe move.

All My Sons Albuquerque Moving & Company also knows that the average person moving with us is not a professional, so we want to share how to prepare for a moving company! Is it your first time using a full-service moving company and you’re not sure what to expect? Our team can help you get your home ready before moving day arrives.

How to Prepare Your House for Moving

Getting ready for your move the right way will save on time and stress come moving day. Our Albuquerque local movers recommend the following steps for a stress-free moving day!

Spring Cleaning

Start with going through your belongings and getting rid of what you no longer need. After that, the packing and clearing space for movers can begin!

Pack Everything in Boxes

Once you’ve decided what’s coming with you, it’s time to put everything into boxes for our Albuquerque full-service movers to load into our moving trucks. Boxes make the moving experience painless and fast, especially if they’re labeled. Our movers can stack them into the truck quickly and transport them into your new home or storage unit for you.

Clear the Way for Movers to Move Through Your Home

On your moving day, be sure to leave a clear pathway for our Albuquerque full-service movers to get your boxes out. Clogging the front entrance of your doorway will make moving boxes and awkward pieces of furniture difficult. A clear pathway for movers ensures that they can get in and out efficiently.

How to Prepare Boxes for Moving

As mentioned above, making sure your moving boxes are ready for moving day is one of the most important parts of preparing your home for a moving company. To prepare your moving boxes, our Albuquerque full-service movers recommend the following.

Make Sure the Inside of the Boxes are Lined

Unless packing soft things such as clothing and towels, our Albuquerque residential movers recommend lining the inside of your boxes with bubble wrap or packing peanuts. This will help to make sure that your belongings are cushioned and stay intact during the moving process.

Use Small Boxes When Packing

Smaller boxes prevent you from over-packing and making your boxes too heavy. In case there is an issue with your movers and you need to end up moving yourself, you will want to make sure that you’re able to move the boxes yourself.

Pack Your Boxes So They’re Completely Full

Boxes that are not full can collapse on themselves when stacked in the moving truck. However, there is a difference between a completely full box and a box that is too heavy. If you need to under-pack a box, specifically note this to our movers so they take extra care.

If you don’t have the time to pack your belongings yourself, our Albuquerque full-service movers can take care of that for you! We offer the best packing services in Albuquerque. Trust that we will have your belongings packed in a professional manner and that they will arrive at your destination safe and sound. Contact us today for your free, no-obligation quote!
