Maximize Your Move With Expert Help

If you are planning a move or relocation soon, you might be feeling overwhelmed - we are here to offer some expert tips on how to make the transition go smoothly in some crucial areas that are sometimes overlooked:

Plants and tree care and transport.

Do not leave your plant babies in the back of a moving truck! Give them room inside your car and secure them to ensure they don't overheat or tip over. Don't forget to water as needed as you travel to your new home. 

Precious art care, transport, and installation.

Managing high-value art on your own can be a challenge. Take the time to arrange for a professional to pack those pieces and don't forget to schedule them to be hung properly on the other end.

Breast milk care and transport.

No need to waste a drop of that liquid gold! Place it into a well-packed cooler right before you leave your old home for the last time. You may have to replace any melting ice along the way if the trip is long distance. Lastly, ensure that any hotel rooms you stay at throughout the trip have a refrigerator.

Auto transport and car detail.

Don't forget about additional cars! Transporting a vehicle you aren't driving to your new home will require towing it behind the moving truck or arranging for someone to drive it separately to your new home.

Rug cleaning, care, and transport.

To avoid creases or damage to your rugs, be sure to roll and wrap them before loading. Cleaning them before the move will also save you the hassle of shifting furniture after everything is unloaded in your new home.

If managing the logistics of moving feels too overwhelming, we are poised and ready to step in!
