Moving any time of year may feel stressful, but winter moving can be especially challenging if you’re not ready for some of the common concerns related to weather. Here are some winter moving tips to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
Stay Flexible with Moving Dates
It’s always important to be flexible with your planned moving dates because unexpected rain, snow and ice storms can delay things. Your moving company will do everything it can to avoid having to reschedule your moving day, but there are times when the weather makes it unsafe to have teams and trucks on the road.
Keep Your Property Clear of Snow & Ice
Removing ice and snow from the walkways and paths that the movers will be using allows them to work efficiently and safely. It also helps protect your belongings from damage by keeping movers from slipping and falling.
Have Floor Cleaning Supplies On Hand
When your movers are on-site and walking into and out of your home with boxes and furniture, chances are they could track in mud and dirt from wet, snowy or slushy sidewalks and walkways. Keeping a damp mop around for quick cleanups is also a great idea.
