Getting ready to move in Philadelphia? Use this expert-approved pre-move checklist to make sure your home is fully prepared. Avoid delays and moving stress with these simple tips.
Moving day isn’t just about boxes and tape — it's about preparation. At ProMovers, serving Philadelphia locals, we know that what you do before our crew arrives can make or break your move.
Let’s break down the most overlooked steps in our pro-approved pre-move home checklist:
A smooth move starts with a prepared space. By taking time to prep your home, you reduce risks, save time, and ensure a safer, more efficient process for everyone involved — especially you.
Ensure that all pathways are unobstructed, from the curb to the rooms. Remove rugs, low furniture, or any items that might cause a trip. If it’s winter, salt the walkway. Our team can only move efficiently if they can move freely.
Accidents happen — but most are avoidable. Lay down cardboard or floor protection in high-traffic areas. Use corner guards if you're worried about dings or scratches. We handle your furniture with care, but extra prep helps keep your home damage-free.
Pets and small children may be curious or stressed during moving. Consider having a family member take them for the day or keep them in a quiet, closed-off room. This keeps them safe — and keeps the move moving.
Even if you're not fully packed, organizing what’s ready to go helps immensely. Label each box with the room it’s going to. Group similar items together near entry points. This simple step shaves off significant time and confusion.
A quick walk-through before we begin is always a good idea. Show us fragile items, no-go zones, or any tricky pieces. Clear communication helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures your expectations are met from the start.
