Moving can be stressful, exhausting, even frightening. You want this process to go as smoothly as possible. Here’s how to make your move to Dallas Texas as easy as possible.
Hire a Texas Mover
If you’re moving to Dallas from another state, it may be tempting to hire a mover local to you. A better idea is to hire a company with experience moving people to Texas, and particularly Dallas. It seems odd for a mover to get lost in the age of GPS, but it happens. And with its intricate network of highway loops, tollways, and surface streets, the Dallas Ft Worth metroplex is a pretty easy place to get lost in. And besides, Google Maps doesn’t always pick the best route. Adding a mover with experience moving people to Dallas is bound to make the drive smoother, especially if there’s a wreck on interstate 20 and the 635 loop is backed up. It’s also a good idea to hire a mover with access to storage facilities in Dallas, in case some of your belongings don’t fit in your new home.
Hire a Certified Moving Service
Look for certifications like AMSA ProMover and SMA Pinnacle Mover. AMSA ProMover certification means the moving company has passed a review of professional business standards and pledged to adhere to a code of ethics. SMA Pinnacle Mover means the mover has passed a rigorous certification process.
Before Packing
Many moving companies can pack your whole house for you. Some also offer partial-packing, which is less expensive. Other services include piano moving, furniture crating and motorcycle crating. Many movers sell boxes, tape, and other moving supplies.
Lighten the Load
In the months or weeks before the big day, give away stuff you don’t need — old clothes you no longer wear, toys the kids no longer play with. This means less to pack up and fit into the truck.
Packing
Label each box with contents and the room the box should go into. For instance, “Books / Living Room” or “Dishes / Kitchen.” Having the boxes loaded into the proper rooms makes a huge difference. One common packing mistake is packing too many heavy things into a large box. The larger the box is, the lighter you want the contents to be. Each family member should pack an overnight bag with some clothes, toothbrush, etc.
