Moving in the Springtime
Spring Might Be the Best Time to Move in Florida
Depending on your situation, spring can be one of the best times of the year to plan a move. In addition to the increasingly pleasant weather, the season also means school vacation time, making the season a popular moving time for college students and families alike. When gearing up for your Gainesville moving day, there are several things to consider.
Track the Weather
Check the weather report when planning your move. A day full of wind and rain can be the difference between a miserable ordeal and a relatively pleasant experience. While spring brings many days that are in a comfortable temperature range, the possibility of rain still looms during this time of year. Be sure to plan accordingly! Tarps and weatherproof boxes for electronics and other delicate items should be on hand. If you are allergic to pollen, be sure to check the pollen count and to seal your boxes completely when packing to avoid releasing a box full of allergens into your new home.
Spring Clean Prior to Moving
Before you start the daunting task of boxing up your belongings (or hiring Gainesville movers to complete the task for you), pare down as much as possible! Set aside a few hours each week to purge a room in your house of outdated furnishings, unworn clothing, expired medication and cleaning supplies, and other items that will only gather dust in your new location.
Hire a Moving Company
The best way to make certain that all of your belongings make it from Point A to Point B on time (and in one piece) is to take the plunge and hire a moving company. Rounding up manual labor, calling in favors with friends, and convincing your brother-in-law or classmate to loan you an appropriate vehicle can be more work than you bargain for. Contacting a Gainesville moving company can save you the time and frustration in arranging the logistics of your moving day, and it will ensure that your belongings are safe and secure during transport.
