Golden Moving Company Issues Essential Preparation Tips

January 08, 2020 – – Golden, CO based Your Personal Movers, has issued a list of essential and helpful preparation tips it thinks will be of benefit to householders, as preparing to move is a huge undertaking.

Moving to a new house is stressful at best and it is not always easy to know what can be done to minimize the amount of anxiety that most people feel as the moving date approaches. Some tips may seem obvious, especially to those familiar with the process, but many less experienced movers may not have thought of them.

For example, it is a common practice for householders to pack cardboard boxes for many of their belongings. That is recommended in summer but not in wintertime. Snow, ice, and rain can all wreak havoc with cardboard. Cardboard gets damp easily and tears so something substantially sturdier and preferably waterproof or water-resistant is called for.

Summertime moving can also lead to unforeseen problems. Delicate electronics should be protected from heat and/or humidity extremes and may need to be packaged in insulated boxes to minimize the risk of damage from high temperatures. It is also recommended that whatever the season, boxes do not get left out in the elements.

Spring and Fall can also produce extremes that need to be taken into consideration, but irrespective of what season a householder is moving in, care needs to be taken to ensure that packed and fragile items do not get broken. Delicate household items can be protected by wedging them in place with paper towels or wrapping clothing around them.

All sound advice for anyone wanting a Golden moving company, but not necessarily suggestions that everyone will have known before Your personal Movers published its hints and tips. Co-owner, Annette Nelson said, “It might seem self-evident, but we also always suggest that people start packing and getting ready for a move very early on. We will help our customers no matter what stage they are in when we arrive, but things will go far better for everyone if everything is packed before moving day. Planning ahead really helps.”

Large, bulky items such as furniture also benefit from thoughtful preparation well in advance. Many furniture items will simply have the drawers removed so that they can be more easily handled. Some items, however, may need to be further dismantled prior to moving. If this is the case, the company suggests taking photographs at all relevant dismantling stages as a picture can make reassembly so much easier.

Appliances are also on the list of hints and tips. Refrigerators and freezers should be emptied and if applicable, defrosted the day before moving. Your Personal Movers recommends running down the number of items in both appliances to a minimum in the weeks preceding a move. All appliances should be disconnected from the relevant utilities ahead of time, as this makes moving them faster and easier.

Perhaps one of the most useful tips that is frequently overlooked by both new and seasoned movers offered by the Nelsons, is that whenever possible the new location should be thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom prior to moving in. No matter how clean a house may have looked when it was being viewed, it is always best to make sure and it is always easier to clean a property thoroughly when it is completely empty. That may not always be possible of course and so a further recommendation is to have cleaning supplies easily accessible upon arrival.

A recent customer said, “One of the hints on the website was to clean a house thoroughly before moving in and I am so glad that we acted on that. The house we had bought had looked good when viewing but when we started cleaning it became apparent that the previous owners’ standards were not as high as they perhaps should have been.”

In addition to the company website, there is further helpful information from Your Personal Movers on Facebook. Hints, tips, and hacks in addition to testimonials can all be found there.
