Rain Rain Go Away! Especially On My Moving Day!!!

Moving in the rain is no fun but hopefully these helpful tips will prepare you to make the best of it!

1.Make sure you seal your boxes well, use laminated boxes, or Tupperware.

2.Get a sitter for the kids and pets during the move. Moving even on a nice day with the kids and dog running around is distracting, but on a rainy day can be worse.

3.Throughout the moving day take a break on the hour with some water, dry off, make sure you are rested, as rainy days can make moving more frustrating than usual, and you need to keep your cool.

4.Wear proper non-slip shoes during the move so that you don't hurt yourself.

5.Let the professionals do the hard work for you, we have many clients that want to help, but when it's slippery outside, sometimes it's best to leave the work to the pros who have moved many times in the rain before and know how to do so safely.

6.Have some old towels on hand to wipe down anything that gets wet before it goes into the truck, or after it's taken out.

7.Cover a path through your house for the movers to walk on. You can buy painter's tarps at Home Depot to help with this. The movers can also use a few free blankets to help. Also, ask your  mover that they bring shoe covers as well.

8.Move everything down to 1 or 2 floors of the house so that the movers don't have to trek through your whole house to get items into the truck.

Best wishes! Stay dry!

Warmest Regards,
