3 Ways to Take the Stress Out of Moving

Moving into a new home is an exciting thing for anyone to do. It can also be very exhausting and costly. According to Forbes, $1,400 is the average cost to move into a new home. You can help take the sting out of that cost and the move with the help of a moving and storage service and some smart planning. Here are three ways to take the stress out of moving into your new home.

1. Plan Ahead and Pack Early

Many people mistakenly procrastinate when it comes to packing for a big move. A lack of planning makes moving more chaotic and more stressful than necessary. When you plan ahead and follow a plan of action, you make the move more efficient. Packing early ensures you have everything safely packed away, which reduces the potential for breaking or losing things during the move. You should choose which items you can pack early, so there's less to do when the moving day arrives.

2. Hire Our Storage Service

A moving and storage service can give you a storage space where you can store items before your move and hold onto them until it's time to bring them to your new residence. You can take small loads and seldom-used items to the storage location well ahead of your move and keep them there while you continue packing and cleaning the home you are leaving. Many items are used only on occasion and during certain times of the year. The rest of the time, they can be stored. Such things are ideal for packing and storing while you complete your move.

3. Choose a Location to Store Your Items

You can choose to store your items at either our site or somewhere else that you prefer. This flexibility can help you leave your items in a location that is potentially near where you are moving. It's also a helpful reminder that you can move your storage fairly easily from place to place.

If you have a big move looming in the near future, you should consider hiring a moving and storage service to lower your stress and make the move more efficient. You can call or visit Stow Away Storage to learn how we can help you. We look forward to hearing from you!
