MOVING DAY TIPS

Your Professional Movers in Washington

Moving Day Checklist

Here is what to do on moving day in order to make it smoother, safer, and easier: Pack up the last of your items (the things you needed during the night and on the morning of move-out day) and check if all the boxes are tightly sealed and clearly labeled. Make sure the items you’re going to need during the trip to your new home and the first couple of days after the move are packed separately – in your essentials box.

Ensure Moving Day Safety

  • Remove any obstacles from the corridors and entryway of your home and keep the path between the front door and the moving truck free of debris and potential hazards;
  • Take care of children and pets – Moving day is both stressful and dangerous for kids and pets – they may get upset and scared by the hectic activities and unknown people in your home and they may get hurt if they get in the way (or cause someone else to get hurt). It’s best to ask a family member or a close friend to take your little ones to their place on the big day or to keep them occupied in a safe and quiet room away from the moving chaos. If necessary, hire a professional sitter to look after your children and your animal friends;
  • Set aside the items you want to take with you – Put your essentials and valuables in a separate room, so they don’t get accidentally loaded on the moving truck.
  • Take plenty of photos to have proof of the pre-move condition of your items and visual aids when reassembling furniture  and reconnecting appliances after the move.
  • Meet the movers – Welcome the moving team when they arrive, review the required paperwork, show the movers around, provide them with all the necessary information, and make sure they can easily get to you if they have questions or need assistance.
  • Ensure efficiency and positive moving experience
    Make sure you have all the essentials for moving day at hand (see below);
  • Prepare food for moving day – provide some healthy food and refreshing beverages to keep everyone’s energy and spirits up on the Big day;
  • Ensure good communication with the movers
  • Triple check everything – When all your belongings are loaded on the moving truck, do a final walkthrough of your home to check for forgotten items. Make sure the movers have the correct address to your new place, get the driver’s name and phone number and provide him/her with your contact information, and confirm the date and time when your shipment will be delivered.
  • Ensure the good condition of your old home – Check for damages, give your old home a good cleaning, and lock all the doors and windows before leaving your old house or apartment for the last time.

"Josh and his crew did a great job with my move. I have had other movers in the past and they did good but the service as well as the price Horizon gave me was the best overall. I will definitely refer them to my friends, clients and anyone I know. Thank you again Josh, Jesse and the crew!"

I've never had much luck with moving companies but recently called on the guys at New Horizons and they did an AMAZING job! When my new home wasn't quite ready, these guys stepped up and kept our belongings on their truck overnight without complaint! They helped me finish packing my house, brought extra boxes/blankets to protect fragile items! Thanks for a job well done! I HIGHLY recommend them!!!!!

I used New Horizons recently to move a household worth of stuff into temporary digs. Not only was Josh easy to contact and extremely helpful, he and his crew arrived on time and did a fantastic job. I hate moving and New Horizon made it SO MUCH EASIER. I had no hesitation about using them again for my next move, and have already recommended their services to friends. No hidden fees, were careful with my furniture and they took apart several pieces and put them back together for me. I can't recommend their services enough.
