Spring is a great season for relocations, offering milder weather and longer daylight hours. Overall pricing is still at 'non-peak' rates since professional movers are traditionally busier in the summer and early fall. However, the season's unique characteristics necessitate specific preparations to ensure a seamless move.
Professional's Tips for Moving in the Spring Season
At Sea Cure Moving, a top-rated New Jersey moving company, we prioritize your moving experience and offer the following essential tips to guide you through a successful spring relocation.
1. Inspect Outdoor and Garage Items for Pests
As nature awakens in spring, insects and other pests become more active. Before moving, thoroughly examine outdoor furniture, gardening tools, and items stored in garages or sheds for signs of insects, nests, or larvae. Brush off any eggs. If originating from the New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas, this especially includes Spotted Lantern Flies and Gypsy Moth. This proactive step prevents inadvertently transporting pests to your new home.
2. Clean Outdoor Items
Winter weather can leave outdoor belongings dirty or damaged. Clean items such as patio furniture, grills, and children's outdoor toys to remove dirt, mold, or mildew. This not only preserves their condition but also ensures a cleaner transport with your other goods on board. They will be ready for immediate use in your new residence.
3. Declutter and Spring Clean Before Your Move
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home by decluttering and organizing. As you pack, take the opportunity to sort through closets, basements, and attics to identify items you no longer need. Consider donating gently used clothing, furniture, and household goods to local charities or thrift stores. Purging unnecessary belongings will make packing easier, reduce moving costs, and help you start fresh in your new home.
Especially if you are moving long-distance, this is a great time to purge the food closet and cabinets and donate any excess food. Sea Cure Moving participates in Move for Hunger. We accept any non-perishables you wish to donate and will drop them at the local food pantry on your behalf.
4. Schedule Your Move Strategically
Spring weather can be unpredictable, with sudden rain showers or temperature fluctuations. Monitor weather forecasts closely as your moving day approaches and have contingency plans in place. Moving still takes place on rainy days, but Sea Cure Moving takes steps to mitigate the inconvenience such as flat-rate pricing.
If you have school children, look ahead to utilize time during spring break or Easter vacation to schedule your move.
5. Select a Professional New Jersey Mover Who Will Protect Floors and Carpets
A professional mover like Sea Cure Moving will have the proper floor protection such as carpet shields and rug runners to absorb dampness and dirt. On particularly rainy days, your Sea Cure Movers will designate a 'dry' crew to remain inside the home and a 'wet' crew to stay outside. This simple step helps minimize mess and keeps your home clean throughout the moving process.
6. Prioritize Utilities Setup
Ensure that utilities such as electricity, water, and gas are set up and functioning in your new home before your arrival. Spring can sometimes bring unexpected weather changes, making it essential to have a comfortable and functional living environment from day one.
