The moving day is a culmination of planning and coordination from a professional mover. If you have never planned a relocation, you may not know what to expect on a moving day.

As an experienced residential moving company, we have handled numerous relocations for our customers. This article will cover what to expect on moving day with professional household movers.

Arrival and Initial Assessment

Moving days start with the arrival of the moving crew at a time that's been agreed upon beforehand. The movers will arrive at your residence and introduce themselves before starting.

A mover will provide a walk-through of your property and ensure everything is packed for the transportation journey. Additionally, they will provide a confirmation of the inventory for the move. 

Preparation and Protection

An experienced mover will provide protection for your home to ensure that the floors and door frames don't get damaged. The household movers will add padding and covering to protect your home.

If you have large furniture, the movers will prepare it by disassembling it and moving it out of the property. For items that won't be moved, the movers will confirm with you that they should not be touched. 

The Loading Process

Once the movers have prepared the items in the home for shipment, they will load the moving truck. Typically, a household moving company will load boxes room-by-room unless specified otherwise. 

A professional mover will also take note of the inventory and label the boxes for easy organization. Additionally, the movers will provide special handling for valuable and fragile items. 

Transportation and Unloading

After the moving truck is loaded, it will start its journey to your next residence. Depending on the location, this can be within a day or take several days if it's a cross-country move. 

Moving companies will provide you with updates on the location of their crew and any potential delays. Once the mover arrives, they will unload the items on your property based on your preferences.
