Best Moving Tips And Advice in Charleston, SC

1 to 2 Months Before

Calculate and budget for supplies and moving expenses. Determine any moving supplies you will need, such as boxes, tape, labels, blankets, etc. Have a yard sale or donate unwanted items to charity. Begin using food and cleaning supplies on hand. Pick up supplies and make your “to-do” list. Reserve storage space, if necessary.

1 to 2 Weeks Before

Pack all valuables to move personally. Pack all nonessentials and label boxes to unload quickly. Drain fluids from your power tools and lawn mower. Clean and empty appliances including your washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Prepare a bag for the road including water, snacks, personal care items.

The Day You Are Moving

Have drinks and snacks available all day. Make sure fragile items are handled safely. Make sure all possessions are packed. Have tools, rope/straps, and spare moving supplies available. If a professional moving service is used, avoid having too many people at your residence who may get in the way of the movers.

Claim a Good Parking Spot

By Robinson dos Santos|2020-03-06T06:39:42-07:00March 23rd, 2020|

When you are moving to or from a place located in a downtown area, parking can often be difficult to find. It becomes even more difficult when you are attempting to park a massive moving truck. In order to secure good parking close to your home, find an ideal spot (or multiple spots, depending on the size of the truck) and park your cars in these spots before the move. When the moving truck arrives, you can then move your personal vehicles out of the way and park the truck in their place. -- Photo Credit: Low Country Images, LLC
