So you’re moving in a month and a bit overwhelmed with all you must accomplish? Don’t worry! Keep reading and the next month of your life will suddenly seem much more simple.  Now is a great time to start depleting your food supply. Your local Milwaukee mover’s truck is no place for food and perishables.  Now is also a great time to start narrowing down your choice for the Milwaukee area mover you will hire. 

You can begin packing now. Remember to label each box so that it reaches its proper place in your new home. During your packing process, it is wise to separate valuables . Your Milwaukee moving company should provide special care for those items.  The month is half over. Much of your packing is complete, and your food supply is dwindling down making for an easy kitchen pack. At this point you have surely hired your Milwaukee area mover dream team, and have reserved a date for your move. This is an excellent time to arrange to have the day off of work for your move. Also, go ahead and call to confirm that your mover and you are both on the same page regarding the move. Make sure that you understand all charges, and that your move date is confirmed. Continue to pack for the move, and accumulate all of your boxes and smaller furniture into one location in the home. This makes for a quick and simple truck loading process.

Your move is one week away. This is crunch time. This week you should pack a suitcase with clothes, hygiene supplies, and any other necessities you will need.  Pack enough to last you at least a week. This way you allow yourself some time to relax in your new home before unpacking everything. But for now, Finish all packing! Throw away all trash, and food, and anything else which needs to be disposed of prior to the moving day. Defrost your freezer and empty your fridge.  Also plan for your move payment.  Make sure you have a credit card, cash, or a money order on hand on the day of your move.

The month has ended quickly. It is now the day of your move. Congratulations, you have made it this far, its almost over now. During the move, feel free to offer refreshments to your moving crew, they will greatly appreciate it! If you feel like your movers have done an outstanding job, it is customary to tip. Make sure that you take inventory before your move begins so that you can account for everything once it arrives at your new home. Finally, breathe a sigh of relief, and take a load off in your new home. You’ve earned it.

Hello Milwaukee! Some people ask me what is the main benefit of storing your belongings with me… It is simple because there is more than one benefit.
Our storage is in a climate controlled environment.
The fact that we do an inventory of your belongings – so you know what you have stored with us.
In self-storage places almost anyone could have access to your belongings. Using our storage is more secured, because access to your belongings is more restricted.
More and more people in Milwaukee are finding not only how easy it is to use our storage – but how great it is to use our moving services.

The weather doesn’t always cooperate when you’re moving. Sometimes, it rains. Sometimes it snows like crazy; you can’t delay the move while you wait for the sun to start shining. All My Sons Of Milwaukee will move you anytime! But, you can make the most of it. Here are some precautions your Milwaukee local movers take:

• Drive slow. We make sure that everything gets to your new place in one piece.
• Keep shovels handy. If it’s snowing, we can clean up sidewalks for our movers to walk on.
• Use Pad Wraps. No one wants their couch to come into their new place soaked. So we bring extra Pad Wraps.
• We enforce a “no-setting-down rule” outside. The worst thing you could do is set a cardboard box or precious wooden furniture down on a wet, snowy, sloppy street. We make sure NOTHING touches the wet floor.
• Set out a mat. It’s a new place. Muddy footprints are the last thing you need. So at minimum, set a mat outside. You may also want to put a mat or runner inside too. All My Sons ProMovers even take the extra step and wear covers on their shoes.
• Keep hot beverages at the ready. Rainy or snowy weather can leave everyone with a chill. Have the hot coffee and tea running freely to warm everyone up.

So you forgot to set up your move! Don’t worry it happens to the best of us. Don’t stress about it, call your Milwaukee movers right now! Even though your waiting until the last minute to call us, you still deserve the best move possible with professional full-time movers . Believe me your not the only procrastonator that has called us last minute before! We are going to get you’r move done fast, and professionally!
