Well, no matter what phase you’re in, we’d argue that for many homeowners, the most difficult part about the whole “we’re moving!” saga is the actual move itself.

Problems related to inclement weather, accidents and injuries, disorganization, and time constraints can easily derail your moving day. So, to help you combat any moving-day disasters, we recommend hiring a professional moving company. Having a team of professionals by your side will help you face a variety unforeseen challenges with proven moving-day solutions.
Make Your Moving Day Simple with Professional Services
You might be thinking: how hard can it be to move your belongings from one place to another? But, before you decide to just ‘wing it,’ remember that there are a multitude of moving-day problems that can arise if you’re not careful. Our team has put together a list of common moving mishaps, and what you can do to prevent them, to help you make your moving day a great day!
1. Last-Minute Bookings
It can be difficult to plan a move and pack up your house around an already-busy schedule. And maybe in between the stress of packing and worrying about closing dates you suddenly realize that you’ve forgotten to book a moving company. Now you’re really stressed out!
To avoid the mayhem of last-minute bookings, it’s important to reserve your spot for moving day well in advance. Pre-booking your moving company is especially crucial if you’re moving during the spring or summer, which are typically busier seasons for moving companies.
2. Eleventh-Hour Packing
Leaving all your packing to the night before the move might seem like it’s doable, but most homeowners will need much more time to properly pack all their items. And, trying to squeeze in some last-minute packing on moving day will only slow you, and your moving company, down.
So, to prevent moving-day delays, create a plan for how you’ll pack your belongings. By coordinating your packing and making note of any items that will require special attention, you’ll be able to stay on track for moving day. And, if packing up your household sounds overwhelming, check out our specialized packing services to help you stay organized
3. Taking Everything with You
If your instinct is to pack up everything as fast as possible, you might be missing out on one of the best parts of moving: going through all your belongings! While you’ll be bringing the bulk of what you own to your new place, an attempt to bring everything with you, such as broken furniture, old baby strollers, and even outdoor planters, can make your move-in process more difficult and cluttered.
Moving day presents a unique opportunity for homeowners, downsizers and people of all ages to rid themselves of their clutter. Carefully assess your belongings to determine what, if anything, you can get rid of before you move. Plus, you’ll save space in the moving van and in your new digs. And, if you have an item that you can’t let go of, but it also won’t fit into your new place, Bird’s Moving has storage services that can help!
4. Elevator and Parking Permissions
Although all housing complexes and condo buildings will have different restrictions, new homeowners should do their due diligence to find out where moving trucks are permitted and how to book the elevator. Unfortunately, it’s easy to forget that your building may require notice for you to utilize both the elevator and parking spaces to accommodate your move.
In order to avoid upset, talk to your landlord or superintendent to find out not only the elevator’s hours of operation, but also any limitations on elevators, movers and trucks on the premises.
