5 Winter Moving Tips
Moving in the winter season isn’t easy, but your stress can be minimized with proper planning and care. Here are 5 tips that will make your relocation during winter smooth and easy.

Are you moving during the winter season? Winters tend to be unpredictable making moving a little more complicated. But with our cheap moving company on board, your move can never go wrong. Below are 5 winter moving tips for a successful move.  

  1. GET ORGANIZED AND STAY ORGANIZED

We often ask ourselves what is the best way to stay organized for the upcoming move? The answer to this is the right resources and planning. Begin with sorting out items that you don’t need anymore. Look out for helpful moving apps that can assist you with moving needs. Color-coded and labeled boxes will help you organize faster and identify items later. To keep track of what you need, prepare a moving checklist to stay organized throughout. 

  1. DOUBLE-WRAP YOUR FRAGILE ITEMS

Glass can shatter when exposed to temperatures below freezing. This could occur if the contents freeze and expand, cracking the glass. Fragile items can also break when moving, but with the right packing supplies, you can keep your expensive glassware safe. For added protection, always double-wrap fragile items in bubble wrap. When packing them into moving boxes, use extra padding.

  1. PROTECT YOUR FLOORS

During the winter, our floors can become sludgy, sloppy, and slippery. Our footsteps have sand, mud, and snow while constantly moving boxes in and out. Invest in floor protectors and doormats to keep your floors safe at all times. 

  1. CLEAR THE PATHWAYS

After you've finished packing and labeling boxes, make sure to clear the sidewalks from snow. This will allow packers and movers to easily load all of your belongings into the truck. Remove all excess snow from pathways with the help of a shovel. Clear the snow from your front walk, but don't stop there. You should also focus on the entrance to your garage, the path leading to the back door, the road in front of your home, and any sidewalks that run alongside your property.

  1. PACK AN EMERGENCY KIT

Winters are unpredictable, but you should be ready for anything that is thrown your way. Here are a few things to pack in an emergency kit

  • First aid kit
  • Tool kit
  • Flashlight
  • Batteries
  • Blankets
  • Shovel
  • Chargers and power banks

When working with a professional moving team, you can help mitigate added stress on moving days, especially around weather-related circumstances. If you need assistance with your move, contact our local moving company in Stamford for a free quote.
