Moving services can ease the burden of relocating your home or office. Whether you are moving to, from, or within Barrie, ON, there are a few things to consider. Since 2023, Giddy Up Moving & Deliveries has been dedicated to providing exceptional service and ensuring a smooth moving process for all our customers.
Are there specific cleaning steps to take before moving?
Cleaning before a move can make settling into your new place easier. Start by decluttering each room and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. Thoroughly clean floors, surfaces, and appliances. This ensures you pack only clean items and helps prevent bringing dust or pests with you.
What is the best way to protect floors and walls during a move?
To protect floors, consider using moving blankets, cardboard sheets, or plastic film. For walls, use corner guards and avoid dragging furniture across them. Padding on heavy furniture also helps prevent accidental scuffs or scratches during the move.
Will I need temporary storage for furniture during the move?
Temporary storage is beneficial if there’s a gap between leaving your old place and moving into your new one. It’s also useful if you need time to arrange furniture in your new home or if you are downsizing. Assess your timeline and space requirements to decide if storage is needed.
What are the most common mistakes people make when moving?
Common mistakes include – underestimating the time required for packing, failing to label boxes properly, and not securing fragile items adequately. Another mistake is not planning for transportation logistics in advance. Preparing a checklist can help avoid these pitfalls.
Do I need to disassemble any furniture before moving?
Disassembling larger furniture pieces makes them easier to transport and helps prevent damage. Items like bed frames, tables, and shelving units often require disassembly. Check your furniture manual for guidance on which pieces should be taken apart.
What are some packing tips to make moving easier?
Packing efficiently is key. Use sturdy boxes in varying sizes for different items and label each box clearly with its contents and destination room. Use bubble wrap or newspaper for fragile items, and don’t overpack boxes with heavy items such as books.
What are the best ways to protect fragile items during a move?
To safeguard fragile items, wrap them individually in bubble wrap or soft cloths before placing them in boxes lined with packing peanuts or foam inserts. Ensure there’s no empty space inside the box where items can shift during transit.
