"Preparing for a moving day can feel equal parts exciting and overwhelming. You're starting a new chapter, but there's also a hundred little things to check off the list.

"Safe Responsible Movers notes, "a good way to save money on a local move is to disassemble and reassemble furniture yourself. If movers have to do it, it adds time to an hourly job."

Plus, when the movers arrive, they can focus on wrapping, carrying, and loading instead of searching for the right Allen key."
"Imagine carrying a bulky dresser down your hallway and seeing shoes, boxes, or small furniture in the way. Clearing these areas not only speeds things up, but also keeps everyone safe. Even widening certain pathways by a few inches makes maneuvering much easier for the crew. Go beyond basic labeling.

Disassemble and reassemble furniture yourself when possible to reduce movers’ labor time and lower hourly costs. Clear and widen pathways by removing shoes, boxes, and small furniture to speed carrying and increase crew safety. Label boxes with room names plus instructions such as "stack on top," "fragile," or "open immediately" to reduce questions and back-and-forth. Focus on packing larger items and leave wrapping, carrying, and loading to the movers so crews can work efficiently. Thoughtful preparation prior to arrival makes moving day smoother, faster, more affordable, and eases settling into a new home or apartment in Houston, TX or Atlanta, GA.
