It’s so exciting and great to start a new life chapter by relocating to a new home. Better yet, you’re coming to Gurnee, beautiful Chicago suburban area. Even though relocations should be something to look forward to, they can also be quite stressful. Also, with all those tasks you have to complete before the moving day, it’s easy to let some of those slip your mind. When it comes to relocations, some details, even though quite important, are easier to overlook. With our tips, you won’t forget a thing and have a seamless move!
Reserving Parking Place in Gurnee For Moving Trucks
You’re happy you successfully packed all your belongings, hired a professional team of Chicago movers, and got mentally ready for a new home. But, but, but – there is probably one thing you totally forgot. If your relocation team hasn’t reminded you of this, it might have slipped your mind. The moving trucks need to have enough parking space in front of both places (the home or office you’re leaving and the one you’re moving into). That’s why, to avoid the panic attack on the moving day, when you might realize there is no available parking spot in front of the house or building, be sure to reserve your parking places on time.
Taking Care of New Home Utilities
Imagine the situation of being quite busy and stressed with the relocation in Gurnee, Chicago in winter; you successfully relocate, and just when you finish with the moving day, you realize the heating is off, and there is no hot water to wash up after a long day. A nightmare, you’d say! How could you forget about that?
Taking care of the utilities and making sure they’re all running by the time you move in is something most people can easily forget while taking care of other details. Put it on your to-do list and make sure to check that at least a week before moving in. Same goes for the utilities in the old home – make sure to take care of those as well and do the necessary transfers.
Moving To a Building? Did You Reserve Elevators?
Whether you’re doing a corporate or a non- corporate relocation, if you are moving to a new building, you will probably have to use the elevator for transport. The other neighbors should be notified about your relocation so you can use an elevator freely. Also, as many buildings require an insurance certificate from the moving companies, make sure to get one before the moving day.
Labeling Boxes
Many of you make sure to pack all of your belongings neatly and sort them into boxes and bags. However, if you are relocating a big house and own a ton of belongings, a major disaster would be if you forget to label each box. During the moving day, you will easily mix all the boxes and won’t be sure which box goes to which room. When it comes to labeling, the safest way to avoid forgetting it is to have at least a magic marker on hand and, when you finish packing the box, labeling it right after. We wish you a happy move and an exciting life in our beautiful suburbs!
