How to Prepare for Moving Day: A Practical Checklist

Two weeks before your move, start by decluttering — donate, sell, or discard anything you have not used in a year. Fewer items mean a faster move and a lower bill. Begin packing non-essential rooms first: guest bedrooms, storage areas, seasonal items, books.

One week out, confirm your move date and start time with James at (936) 291-7230. Pack a "first night" box for each family member — bedding, a change of clothes, toiletries, phone chargers, and snacks. Label every box with the destination room and a brief contents note.

The night before, disassemble furniture you can manage (bed frames, desks), bundle cords and label them, and set aside anything that travels in your personal vehicle (medications, valuables, important documents).

Move morning: clear a path from each room to the front door, prop open doors, and lay down any floor protection you have. The crew will handle the rest.
