Tips to Your Make Moving and Packing Simpler
Moving and packing can be a hassle. Here are some tips from the experienced movers and packers at Father and Son Moving & Storage that may make the process easier. Reach out to us today for all your moving and packing needs.
Reserve the Elevator for Seamless Moving
Most apartment buildings and office complexes will ask their tenants or occupants to reserve the elevator on their date of moving. This is an essential step, as it will make your moving seamless. Plan well in advance and notify your building management as soon as you book your date of moving.
Get an Authorized Permission to Use the Sidewalk
Most of the sidewalks these days are hollow or merely a layer of concrete above a basement or open space. An authorized signature of the township and/or the property owner is required before driving a moving truck on one.
So, if you don't have an alternative other than having the truck on the sidewalk, remember to get the signature well in advance.
Get a Parking Permit or Inform Your Neighbors
Getting permission to park the moving truck in front of your home will save you from a lot of trouble later. If you live in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, or Brookline, visit your local township and get a permit to reserve the spot in front of your building. If you live in a suburban part of town, always remember to inform your neighbors.
Packing Gas Appliances and Ice Makers
Planning will reduce the hassle involved in moving your appliances. Disconnect and cap the lines of appliances gas appliances and appliances with a water line such as fridge and ice makers. If you plan this well, you save a lot of time on your day of moving.
