Optimal Timing for Your Move

If you have children, the best time to move is between the months of May to September. Moving during late spring or summer break allows your child to adjust better in their new surroundings before school starts again. Additionally, since several people are moving at this time, there are more housing options on the market, giving you and your family better options for a new home. Just make sure to start looking for professional movers as soon as you sign your lease or close escrow as this period is also when moving companies are more in demand.

How Early Should I Contact Moving Companies?

At Pete's Moving Services LLC, we always tell our clients to book as early as they can. Getting this done in advance can help lessen the stress of moving and let you focus more on other important things like packing. Postpone booking a moving service for long and you might end up with shady moving companies that are more expensive but less efficient.

Preparing for the Movers' Arrival

Our professional movers are ready to help make your move as seamless as possible. However, there are also some things that you can do before we arrive to ensure a stress-free move.

These include:

• Labeling your boxes properly, especially those containing fragile items
• Making sure to have an inventory of all your boxes and furniture for easy tracking
• Disassembling or removing the legs of your furniture if you can
• Informing us early about where we can park our trucks, the elevators or stairs we can use, or how we can access your home in case you live in a gated community
