Tips for Making Your Summer Move a Success

Summer is a popular time for moving and for many good reasons. But to ensure a smooth move, you need to understand some of the season’s peculiarities. First, let’s see some reasons why a summer move might be the perfect fit for you:


Benefits of moving in summer


Great weather

During the summer months, you can enjoy sunny skies, warm temperatures, and less rain. This makes the entire moving process, from packing to loading and unloading, much easier and more pleasant. 


Not a lot of holidays

Summer has fewer holidays compared to other seasons, giving you a longer stretch of uninterrupted time. 

With fewer holidays on the calendar, scheduling movers and securing time off work becomes much easier. You won't have to worry about holiday rushes or conflicts, making your move more straightforward and less stressful.


Kids on break

If you have kids, it's best to move during the summer, as they won’t be in session. Moving at another time of year would be tricky, as it would be in the middle of the school year, which could cause unfavorable disruptions, especially if you plan to change schools. Use these tips to make moving with your kids easier


Tips for making your summer move a success

So, you've decided to make your move this summer. To help you have a smooth transition, here are some valuable tips:


Timing is crucial

Because summer is the busiest moving season, it's vital to hire a professional mover and rental trucks well in advance, at least 6-8 weeks before you plan to move, especially if you have a specific date in mind. This will ensure you get the help you need on the exact day you need it. 


Budget appropriately

Moving can be expensive. You need to consider the cost of hiring movers, renting trucks, buying boxes and other packing supplies, and maybe paying for temporary storage

To help with costs, you could have a yard sale or sell furniture and other items you don't need anymore. This can give you some extra money for your move.


Pack correctly

Packing well can save you time and make moving less stressful. Make sure to label all your boxes clearly so you know what's inside each one. 

Also, pack an essentials box with things you'll need right away when you get to your new home, like toiletries, a change of clothes, and essential documents. This way, you can easily find what you need without unpacking everything.


Don’t forget to stay hydrated

The summer heat can be really tough and make you feel tired quickly. Drinking lots of water will help everyone stay hydrated, healthy, and energized throughout the day. You can also have some sports drinks or juice for variety, but water should be the primary focus to keep everyone in good shape.


Protect sensitive items

The heat can damage some of your items, especially delicate ones. So, pack fragile items with extra care, using bubble wrap or soft cloths to cushion them. 

If there's a delay between moving out and moving into your new place, consider using climate-controlled storage for sensitive items like electronics, artwork, or musical instruments.
