Plan Ahead for a Smart Move

So you have your moving folder and all of the paperwork you need to start planning your hassle-free move to Dallas. To get ahead of the moving game, why not begin packing? Packing is one of the most time-consuming and difficult tasks of the entire moving process, so a head start will benefit your move in many ways. Have you ever packed in a rush? It is stressful and often leads to damaged items that were not properly packaged for the move.

Of course, the easiest way to pack is to have some else do it! Dallas movers can take care of your packing months, weeks or even days before your move. This professional service can be accompanied by various levels of insurance to protect your belongings in the event of any damage. Utilizing professional packing services also decreases the risks of damage. High-quality moving boxes and packing materials are used (at least with All My Sons!), as well as tested techniques that leave even dishes and glasses intact.

Should you want or need to pack on your own, however, local movers recommend beginning ASAP! You can get new or gently used boxes from your local moving company. Then, make it a point to pack a few boxes, or even just a few items when you have a spare minute around the house. There are many items in your home that you may not need for the next month or two. These items can be packed and safely stored until moving day. After designating an area to store your packed boxes, load up off-season clothing, home décor, house keepsakes and anything else you won’t need in the coming weeks. Make sure you label each box!

With such a large head start, your move to Dallas will be smooth and easy!
