What To Do Before The Furniture Movers Arrive?
Moving furniture without creating any damage to it, is quite challenging. Whatever you need to move, such as a center table, delicate antique furniture, couch, or anything else, will demand much effort to relocate them safely.
Hiring professionals is the best way to move the sofa and delicate furniture. But have you ever thought about what things or tasks you can do before the arrival of furniture movers?
You can do certain things before their arrival so that tasks get completed without any stress.
Check out some of the handy and quick steps that you can do before a professional’s arrival.
- Measure All Corners Of Furniture
Finally, the moving day is approaching, and you are excited to move to your dream home. There is one thing that can disturb your joy and happiness. Suppose you are not able to take out the couch from the entry door now; what will you do?
Thus, to remain far away from these types of a nightmare, you should measure all corners of your furniture and openings to ensure a stress-free relocation. You can try a demo, and whatever issues you face, you can resolve them accordingly. You can dismantle the furniture to the smallest part so that it can come out without any damage or scratch.
- Offload Furniture Completely
Before moving furniture, you should remove all accessories and cushions and pack them separately. Also, ensure that their cabinets and drawers are empty. It will reduce the weight of furniture, and you will be able to move furniture safely. You should disassemble every possible part of furniture to make it lighter and safer to relocate. Unscrew all such parts of the couch and furniture prior to the arrival of professionals.
- Check The Route From Door To Moving Truck
If you have scheduled your moving date during wintertime, it becomes essential to do this. It is a little risky to move furniture during winter. The path should be clear and free from snow and ice. Also, if there is something rubbish over the path, you should remove that so that extra path should be available for professionals to move large furniture.
- Decide The Place For Parking The Moving Van.
Parking is a simple but mostly overlooked factor during moving. However, this comes first in the mind of professional movers. The moving van driver will call you on your moving day and ask the place for parking their van. If you haven’t decided where to park, you will get stressed and start looking for such a place. If you are residing in any locality, then take permission from the society secretary for the parking area. If a moving van is parked near your home, then stuff will get loaded easily and quickly.
- Keep Some Cash Handy For Tipping
Would you love to tip your movers? There is no hard and fast rule that you have to tip your movers, but you can tip them some value in return for their excellent job. It will be a nice gesture from your side to appreciate their hard work. Before the arrival of movers, you should keep some cash in hand. Tipping values will vary from person to person. Tipping movers justify the satisfaction level you received through the entire relocation process.
- Pack Furniture That Are Possible
Before movers arrive, you can pack some parts of furniture that are possible. Dismantle the parts of the sofa, couch and pack them in the right manner so that they do not experience any damage. Label the box so that you can get them easily at the time of assembling. This step will somewhat save professionals’ time, and work will get completed timely.
- Clean Furniture As Desired
Before packing the furniture needed to move, you should do proper dusting of your furniture. If dust remains in furniture and gets packed in the same way, then the dust will get stuck to the furniture’s surface. It will result in disturbing the look and feel of the sofa. Thus, to get your furniture in the best condition at your new address, you should clean your furniture. This should be done before removalists, as after their arrival, it will not be feasible to start the cleaning process.
- Check Out Weather Conditions
What type of weather will be on your final day of moving, whether it will be raining or snowing, all this affects the move. According to weather conditions, you should prepare all desired things. It will be all your responsibility to ensure a smooth process. There should be handy towels and protection over the floor to avoid mishappening.
- Be Available On Moving Day
It would be best if you try to complete all outside work prior to the arrival of professional movers and packers. If you have to collect any important paper from a bank or other place, get it done. You should be available on moving day so that movers can easily communicate with you and work according to your requirements. Your availability will answer all questions of removalists, and work gets completed smoothly.
