Packing and Moving Tips

Once you’ve found your dream home at The Lakes at Centerra, the excitement of moving in is bound to be a memorable time for you and your family. To make the transition to your new home seamless, here is a list of tips for moving to Loveland.

You can Never have Enough Boxes

One of the most important pieces of moving is starting with the right equipment – and that means lots, and lots, of boxes. There are many different ways that you can find moving boxes, including purchasing them from a office supply store, or asking for them from the moving company you’ve chosen to help with your move. Some movers even find luck seeking out recycled boxes in the back of department stores or other businesses that may no longer have use for them.

Pack with Care

Another packing tip for moving is to properly handle fragile household items to ensure they arrive safely at your new home. Using old newspapers, towels, bubble wrap, or “popcorn” stuffing can all be efficient ways to pack your items. Bubble wrap can also be very effective for delicate items, such as artwork, fine china, and other breakable knick-knacks.

Invest in Quality Tape

It may seem trivial, but experienced movers know that one of the best pieces of moving advice is to avoid the hassle of a box coming undone due to cheap tape. Keep your fine china safe by using a trusted, quality packing tape to ensure that your boxes stay closed and prevent items from falling out.

Label your Boxes

As you pack up boxes, be sure to label them according to the room where they belong so that each box has a specific destination. Keeping your boxes organized will make your job much easier when you start unpacking in your new home.

Hire a Moving Company in Loveland

A big tip for moving across town or out of state is to consider making the investment in hiring a moving company. Take some of the stress out of moving day and locate a professional movers to help with big household items such as couches, beds and televisions.
