5 Mistakes Planning Residential Move

 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.

 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.
