Below are a few things you can do to help make your winter move a successful one for both you and your moving team:
1. Keep Your Driveway Clear and Safe
- Shovel and de-ice all walkways, porches, steps, and your driveway before movers arrive.
- Spread salt or sand to provide traction and protect movers and equipment.
- If access is tricky like narrow neighborhoods, snowbanks along the curb, or steep areas let your movers know in advance so they can plan accordingly.
2. Protect Your Floors and Interiors
- Winter boots bring in slush, salt, and melting snow, so use floor coverings or carpet protection in high-traffic areas.
- Keep towels or mats near doors for wiping off boots.
- Don’t stress about keeping the floors spotless during loading, it’s nearly impossible in winter. Plan your deep cleaning for after the move.
3. Dress for a Safe and Comfortable Move
- Wear warm layers. Doors often stay open for long periods during loading and unloading.
- Choose waterproof boots with good traction to keep stable on icy surfaces.
- Wool socks help keep your feet warm during longer move times.
4. Communicate With Your Moving Team
- Share details about tricky terrain, steep driveways, icy areas, limited parking, or narrow walkways.
- Confirm where the truck should park, especially in neighborhoods where plows leave high snowbanks.
- Review your move plan ahead of time: number of movers, expected hours, and any adjustments needed due to winter weather.
5. Keep Safety First; No Shoe Removal
- Please don’t ask movers to remove their shoes, wet or icy surfaces make it unsafe and slow down the move.
- If you want carpet protection, let your team know ahead of time. While it isn’t automatically brought, we’re happy to supply and apply it upon request.
- Expect some moisture on floors. We minimize it as much as possible, but winter conditions can’t
