Moving Checklist

Explore our Moving Checklist below, designed to assist you every step of the way during your move. This information is courtesy of our preferred vendor, Maryland Movers.

One Month Before

  • Compare moving estimates. Pay attention to the extra services offered and their corresponding charges.
  • Book your move ASAP. Once you’ve chosen a mover, book your move as soon as you can for possible moving cost reduction.
  • Request the necessary paperwork from your moving company and make sure you understand all terms and conditions before agreeing to them.
  • Start the packing marathon from the rooms in your home that you use the least – usually storage rooms such as garages, basements, attics, guest rooms, and closets, to prevent packing clutter.
  • Use as many packing supplies as it is necessary to protect your valued items. Be generous with padding materials (packing paper, bubble wrap, etc.), especially when you’re packing fragile items.
  • Start as early as possible and pack one room at a time – do not attempt to pack up your home in one single gigantic effort.
  • Don’t forget to label your boxes – use a color marker each cardboard box you’ve packed for easier post–move identification. Write the content, destination room and special handling instructions on at least two sides of the box.

One or Two Weeks Before

  • Confirm elevator, Loading dock, and parking reservations/parking permits for moving day at both current and destination addresses.
  • Make arrangements for disassembly of specialty items (pianos, swing sets, etc.).
  • Make arrangements for child care and/or a pet sitter for moving day.
  • Arrange for time off from work to prepare for the move and to be present on moving day.
  • Confirm your moving day and time with your moving company.

Day Before the Move

  • Pack an essentials box with vital items you can’t do without while your other things are in transit.
  • Pack safely your high–value articles jewelry, collector’s items, important documents, electronics and keep them by your side throughout the home move.
  • Consolidate clearly marked moving boxes of fragile items in one area of your home. Alert the movers about these moving boxes on moving day.
  • Defrost your fridge. Let your refrigerator and/or freezer defrost at least 24 hours prior to Moving day.
