After all the planning and packing, your moving day has finally arrived! At Affordable Moving, we know how important it is for the day to run smoothly, and we’re committed to making your relocation stress-free. Here’s a guide to help you understand how the day will unfold, so you’re prepared and know what to expect from start to finish.
Initial Walkthrough: Getting Things Started during the moving
When our team arrives, we’ll begin with a walkthrough of your home. We’ll introduce ourselves and ask you to point out which items are moving and which should stay behind. We’ll also note any pre-existing damage to furniture and belongings for liability purposes. This walkthrough helps us plan the safest and most efficient way to move your items.
Parking the Moving Truck
After the walkthrough, we’ll park the moving truck in the best possible location to minimize the time spent moving items in and out. If you have concerns about your driveway, such as recent paving or painting, let us know. We’ll park in a way that prevents any potential damage.
Protecting Your Home and Belongings
We take extra precautions to ensure your home and belongings are safe. Our team will protect doorframes, floors, and stair banisters from damage. For large items like beds and desks, we may disassemble them to make the move easier. Additionally, we’ll pad and wrap furniture to protect it during transport, ensuring it arrives at your new home in perfect condition.
Efficiently Loading the Truck
Loading the truck is a crucial step, and we follow a proven system to maximize space and security. We start with larger, solid items like dressers and tables, creating a strong base. Boxes and smaller items are stacked carefully on top, with lighter or fragile pieces placed at the top to prevent damage.
Final Walkthrough Before Departure
Before leaving, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to ensure nothing has been missed. This is your opportunity to point out any last-minute items that need to be moved. Once you’ve confirmed that everything is ready, we’ll hit the road toward your new home.
On the Road: Heading to Your New Home
As we make our way to your new home, it’s important to have someone on-site when we arrive to guide the unloading process. Whether it’s you or a designated representative, your input will ensure everything is placed where it belongs, saving time and effort during the unloading phase.
Unloading at Your New Home
Upon arrival at your new home, we’ll start with another walkthrough. You’ll show us where you’d like furniture and boxes placed. As with loading, we take care to protect floors, doorframes, and walls to avoid any scratches or dings while bringing in your belongings.
Bringing in the Boxes
After the larger items are set, we’ll unload your boxes. To streamline the process, make sure each box is clearly labeled with the room it belongs in. This simple step allows us to quickly and efficiently place boxes in the correct locations, making unpacking much easier for you.
Assembly of Furniture
Once the boxes are unpacked, our team will begin reassembling any furniture that was taken apart for the move. From beds to desks and dining tables, we carefully reassemble each piece and place it exactly where you want it. By the end of the day, your new space will start to feel like home, with everything set up and ready for use.
Final Walkthrough of Your New Home
Before we wrap up, we’ll take you on one last walkthrough to ensure everything is placed as you envisioned. If you’d like any furniture moved or adjusted, we’re happy to make those final tweaks. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we aim to leave your new space just as you want it.
Inspecting the Truck and Wrapping Up
Once the final walkthrough is complete, we’ll give you the opportunity to inspect the moving truck to ensure nothing has been left behind. After confirming that all your belongings are safely in your new home, we’ll finalize the paperwork, marking the end of a successful move.
Payment and Congratulations!
At Affordable Moving, we offer transparent pricing, so the final bill will reflect exactly what was discussed. We accept various payment methods, including cash, check, and credit cards. For those who pay in cash, we even offer a discount. After payment, your move will officially be complete, and you can fully enjoy your new home.
