Your Stress-Free Moving Checklist
To make your moving simple and stress-free, here are steps you can do from 8 weeks until your moving day.
8 Weeks Before Moving: Start Planning
Book your moving company – Secure your move with Lift and Shift LLC early to lock in the best rates.
Declutter your home or office – Donate, sell, or dispose of unwanted items to lighten the load.
Create a moving binder – Keep track of important documents, contracts, and receipts.
Schedule time off work – If your move is during the week, arrange time off to oversee the process.
6 Weeks Before Moving: Get Organized
Gather packing supplies – Stock up on boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and labels.
Take inventory of belongings – Make a list of valuables and fragile items.
Notify important parties – Update your address with banks, utility companies, and subscriptions.
Arrange for storage, if needed – If there’s a gap between moving out and moving in, Lift and Shift LLC offers secure storage options.
4 Weeks Before Moving: Start Packing
Pack non-essential items – Seasonal clothing, decor, and items you don’t use daily should go first.
Label everything – Clearly mark boxes with their contents and destination room.
Separate important documents – Keep passports, IDs, and financial papers in a safe, accessible place.
Arrange for pet or childcare – Moving day can be hectic, so make arrangements when moving with kids and pets to make things easier.
2 Weeks Before Moving: Confirm & Finalize
Confirm details with your movers – Double-check the date, time, and address with Lift and Shift LLC.
Transfer utilities – Set up electricity, water, gas, and internet for your new home.
Pack an essentials box – Include toiletries, chargers, snacks, and a change of clothes for moving day.
Plan your moving day travel – If you're moving long-distance, confirm flight or driving plans.
Moving Week: Final Prep
Finish packing – Leave out only daily essentials.
Disassemble furniture – Take apart beds, tables, and other large items for easier transport.
Take photos of electronics – Snap pictures of how your wires are connected for easy setup.
Clean your current home – Sweep, vacuum, and ensure everything is in order before leaving.
Moving Day: Let’s Go!
Meet with your movers – Do a final walk-through and confirm all instructions.
Check all rooms – Open cabinets, closets, and storage areas to ensure nothing is left behind.
Secure your valuables – Carry important documents, jewelry, and medications with you.
Leave keys and final instructions – If required, hand over keys to the landlord or new owner.
Time to move! Lift and Shift LLC will handle the rest.
After the Move: Settle In
Unpack essentials first – Focus on the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms.
Check for damages – Inspect your belongings for any damage during the move.
