Tips for moving day

Don't know where to start
with your move?

A few moving tips to ease the stress

Getting ready for your big move?
Pittsburgh movers know that preparation is the key to a smooth moving day.

Here's a list of essential tips to get you organized and ready:

1. Start Early
Begin planning and packing at least 4-6 weeks before your move. This gives you time to organize your belongings and avoid last-minute stress.

3. Label Boxes Clearly
Use labels or color-coded stickers to identify which boxes go into specific rooms. This makes unpacking easier and helps movers know where each box belongs.

5. Protect Fragile Items
Wrap fragile items like glassware, dishes, and electronics in bubble wrap or packing paper to prevent damage during the move. Use sturdy boxes and label them as "fragile."

2. Declutter Before Packing
Go through your items and get rid of things you no longer need.
Donate, sell, or recycle unwanted items to reduce the number of things you need to move.

4. Pack an Essentials Box
Prepare a box with important items like toiletries, a change of clothes, medications, phone chargers, and important documents. Keep this box with you for easy access.

6. Disassemble Large Furniture
Take apart large furniture like beds, desks, and shelves before moving day. Keep screws and small parts in labeled bags to make reassembly easier.

7. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in high-quality moving boxes, packing tape, and protective materials to keep your belongings safe during transport.

8. Hire Professional Movers
If possible, hire a reliable moving company like Iron City Movers, to handle the heavy lifting. Professional movers ensure a smoother and faster move.

9. Notify Utilities and Services
Make sure to notify utility companies, banks, and other service providers about your move so you can transfer or cancel services as needed.

10. Stay Organized
Keep a moving checklist to track tasks and stay organized throughout the process.
