Moving is a stressful process, so it shouldn’t have to take a toll on your wallet. With some planning and the right movers, you can save money on moving services and put the extra bucks toward home renovations. Here’s a rundown on how you can lower costs before and during the move-out day.

How to Save During a Residential Move

1. Pack in Advance

By starting to pack six weeks before the moving day, you streamline the process. This way, movers can simply come and load up your boxes. It’s wise to first pack your less essential items, such as artwork and books, so you won’t miss them in the weeks before the move. You can pack kitchenware and cosmetics on the final week.

2. Prep the Space

The more efficient the move-out work is, the more you’ll save on labor and time. To facilitate the process, place the boxes in a part of the home near the entrance so movers can quickly collect them. In the winter, clearing a path between the home and the street will also make the work safer. If you have a driveway, move your car to the street to allow the truck to park closer to the house.

3. Set a Budget

Customer-oriented companies will be willing to work with your budget. Gather quotes from multiple locations to decide what you’re willing to spend. If you provide this number to the company, they may be able to accommodate the request by prioritizing labor.
