Moving Tips

General Moving Tips

If you are not hiring Texas Relocation Company to disassemble and reassemble your furniture, these things must be taken care of before we arrive. A few tips to help ensure a successful move.

Have all boxes sealed on top and bottom with tape. This prevents your items from falling out in the truck. (Texas Relocation does not move open boxes)
Label all boxes with their room destination. Please label the sides so that the movers can read the information when the boxes are stacked on top of each other.
Have all pictures boxed or bubble wrapped. Stack lamp shades inside each other and box them. This will prevent any punctures or damage.
Dense items like books should be packed tightly in small, sealed boxes. Have all fragile articles individually wrapped and packed into a durable box.
Have light-colored cushions bagged in large trash bags.
You should keep all valuables in your immediate possession. These items should be moved by the owner: jewelry, watches, money, expensive artwork, legal documents, etc.

Bedrooms

Please empty all dressers and chest of drawers.
Hanging clothes should be boxed in wardrobe boxes.
Empty nightstands into a sealed box.

Kitchen

Dispose of any food that may spill or spoil in you new place.
Have a cooler ready in the event that Texas Relocation moves your refrigerator. We can load your fridge last. This will
ensure that perishable items do not sit out too long.
Have all kitchen utensils, pots, and pans clean and packed in boxes.

Garage

Drain all oil and gas from lawn mowers and any other gas-powered tools. We do not move flammables, aerosol cans, paints, thinners, guns, ammunition, or hazardous materials.
Bundle all of your yard tools i.e. rakes, shovels, brooms etc. and wrap the handles with tape.
