If you are going to be moving soon and have already hired some movers to help you out, this is a great first step. However, just because you hired movers to move you doesn't mean that you aren't going to be required to do anything. Before the movers come to your home, there are certain things that you need to do in order to be well prepared for them. This article will discuss 3 excellent ways to prepare your home for the movers.
Get Rid Of Your Junk
If moving day is fast approaching, and you have hired movers to help you out, it is going to be very important that you get rid of all your junk before they come. Trying to sort through the things that you do and don't want after the movers have arrived can be incredibly time consuming for you and frustrating for them. Taking care of this task before the movers ever come will ensure that none of this junk is accidentally packed and moved to your new location, and it will make packing and loading your belongings a much quicker and easier process for all involved.
Ask For A List Of Things That The Movers Won't Move
Most moving companies won't move a variety of your items, either because of liability reasons or because it is unsafe for them to move them. These items can include things that contain chemicals, such as household cleaners and paint. They also won't move personal items like money, photographs, important documents, and other items of this nature because of how personal and important they are. Also, keep in mind that they won't move any live animals for you, so your pets are going to need to travel with you, or you will need to find other means for transporting them. Asking for a list of all the items that the movers won't be moving can help you to prepare to move these items yourself and get them out of the way.
Prepare Food And Drinks For The Movers
Movers are generally going to be moving from house to house during a work day, and they often aren't going to have time to stop for lunch and/or dinner. Having some food out for them to eat will likely be very much appreciated by them. They are also working very hard physically, so it is important that they have something to drink in order to keep them well hydrated. You can keep cold water bottles for them in a cooler, as well as other beverages, such as soda pop and drinks that have added electrolytes.
