Gainesville Moving’s Tips For Moving in The Winter

Gainesville Moving has tips for moving in the winter and we feel that everyone moving in Gainesville Florida should know about them. Most people are probably wondering what would colder weather change about the move. It will never get so cold here that snow is covering everything or so cold that the roads ice over so what is different? Well a few things change when the temperature begins to drop. The number one thing that we have found out as a moving company in Gainesville is how ineffective adhesive is in colder temperatures. As the temperature begins to drop so does the sticking power of most packing tapes that are used. Conversely, in warmer weather the adhesive works best. The last thing that a family wants on moving day is all of the boxes bottoming out. The only way to be 100% sure that this does not happen is to have your items professionally packed by one of the reputable moving companies in Gainesville.

The other way to ensure that the packing tape used on your personal belongings holds is to use more than one strip and alternate the direction. By alternating the direction of the tape on the moving boxes you are creating a backup should one of the other pieces of packing tape fail. Gainesville Moving uses some of the toughest tape in the business and it is not found in your home improvement stores. We suggest trying out a few different brands to see which one is most effective. This may seem time consuming but are your personal belongings worth the extra few minutes it takes? We thought so. The other thing to worry about in the winter months when you are moving in Gainesville is how the temperature affects your grip.

Gainesville Moving suggest using extra hands when moving large furniture items in the cold weather. Since colder temperatures makes our grip weaker it is best to use an additional set of hands. Grips weaken and so does the sensation of touch which is what keeps your furniture pieces from falling down the front lawn or stairs. We hope that these two tips help out when the time calls for moving in Gainesville. Gainesville Moving is cold weather move specialist.
