Many people despair when planning a residential move. Really, there are several important
points to program, but this service, which at first glance seems like a big
headache, is simpler than you might think. That way, and thinking of helping,
we created this list so you don't make any of the most common mistakes when
moving.
1 –
Residential moving: Not packing belongings correctly
At first, this error may seem obvious, but we put
it right on this list because even so, the vast majority of people do not
properly pasck their belongings during a residential move.
Packaging involves, in addition to the use of
suitable materials, a certain technique and extra concern with certain items.
Glass, mirrors, decorative items, furniture with corners and lacquered tables
are among the items that most end up with damage during transport.
On the other hand, items such as personal clothing,
towels and bedding may not seem to need good packaging, as they do not present
a risk of breakage. This is another misconception, as because they are woven,
if not insulated from change, or wrapped only in bags, they can tear or get
dirty. In addition, it is also possible that they acquired unwanted odors
during transport, in the event of a leak of some liquid from the refrigerator
or direct contact with the trunk of the truck. The same applies to sofas,
armchairs and mattresses.

2- Not
planning the best date and time for the move
First of all, when we talk about the best date and
time to move, we're not just talking about the best day for you. We know that
it's not always possible to get time off work to take care of the move, so when
the opportunity arises, you have to take advantage of it.
However, there are other important points that
should also be taken into account when planning your residential move. Any of
these errors can be responsible for the increase in the value of the move ,
damage to an item or payment of fines in condominiums or even by the moving
company.
Here
are some factors to consider when planning your move date:
Ø Times
allowed for changes in condominiums
Ø Permitted
parking times in front of the residence
Ø Favorable
weather conditions (too much rain can make a residential move unfeasible, in
the case of open spaces)
Ø Dates
on which it is possible for you to follow the inspection, collection and
delivery of the items
Ø For
changes between cities, avoid dates between holidays that may have traffic on
the road and delay delivery
Ø Reserve
at least one day to be able to organize the items that will be delivered
3 – Don’t
let go of items that have no use or value to you
In advance, we know that there are a number of
belongings that we cannot simply sell or donate. Okay, these sentimental items
really shouldn't just be left out in the move. However, there are a number of
other items that are just gathering dust in the back of your closet, right?
So, take advantage of the moment of your
residential move to do a real clean in your home. That way, before requesting a
quote or inspection, remove all items that you know you no longer use or that
would not have space in your new home. You can donate or even sell these items
on online sites.
In summary, all this will help you to save time ,
when organizing after the move, and also money , when requesting your quote
with fewer belongings.
4- Confusing
the cart service with the residential moving service
First, it must be made clear that the two types of
service are quite different. To simplify, the cart is the service usually
performed by one person and covers the collection and delivery of items from
home, construction or small changes. It almost always has no packaging and is
applied for small distances.
Residential removals, on the other hand, involve a full NYC Commercial Moving Company. There is
a prior inspection, contract, all items are packed and transported by a
specialized team. In addition, the companies also offer insurance against
breakdowns, assembly and disassembly of furniture, apartment cleaning and other
exclusive services.
That way, when moving, always hire a moving company
like All Around Moving. Choose to
search for reviews from other customers on social media and Google. Also make
sure that the insurance you have purchased has enough coverage to protect your
belongings.

5 – Not finding the ideal place for children
and animals during the residential move

residential moving box
During a move, it will be necessary for the
employees of the contracted company to move inside your residence to pack and
transport your belongings. Definitely, all these steps, which can take a full
day, generate waste and a different noise than usual.
In this way, the change in the routine of the house
can stress animals and children . In addition, these changes may reflect on
different feeding times and activities than usual. All of this can be unhealthy
and end up making the experience of change very negative.
Therefore, it is recommended to leave children with
other family members , at school or in some activity at friends' houses . As
for the animals, if there is no way to leave them in a small hotel, it is
important to walk them a lot before the arrival of the moving company team.
Also, remember to respect feeding schedules and always keep your bed, toys and
belongings next to him.
