Moving is a stressful and labor-intensive process. Once you find your new place, it’s time to start packing everything up to get ready for the move. Finding packing materials, purging things as you’re packing, and still trying to take care of your family and work can be exhausting.
Before you know it, the moving day arrives and all you want to do is get to your new house and just relax. But it’s piled high with boxes that need to be packed, furniture that needs to be put together, and a lot of moving supplies that need to be disposed of. That’s why unpacking services need to be part of your next move.
What Our Unpacking Services Cover
Our professional moving team unpacks all of your boxes and gets your home organized. We set everything up so that you can spend time enjoying your new home, getting to know the neighbors, or getting back to work.
Professional packing services are especially helpful to assist with bigger moves. Having professional unpackers and organizers unpack your belongings in your new space can take such a load off during your moving experience.
Even if you’re moving just across town, this moving service can be such a benefit. After days of driving across the country or flights to get to your new home, walking in to find it fully unpacked and ready for you to enjoy is such a relief.
Moving, Packing, and The Unpacking: Service Process
Before your move, you should have a clear understanding of:
When your unpacking services will start
How long the unpacking is expected to take
What unpacking includes
What other services will be done in addition to unpacking
Any additional fees that may arise
Also, when you hire professional home organizers, you’ll want to make sure that they’re licensed and insured so that you’re protected if there are any accidents.
Unpacking Boxes
When you hire professionals like us to help with your move, we get to work on unpacking your moving boxes.
To make this task more efficient, it’s important that you keep things very well organized when you’re packing, no matter how many boxes you use. You don’t want items that belong in the kitchen, bathroom, and garage all in the same box if possible.
Also, be sure that your boxes are well labeled so the movers can put them in the correct location at your new place. Having household goods in the room they belong in will make unpacking so much easier.
Unwrapping Items
Unboxing the boxes is nice, but unwrapping all the items is even better! All those fragile items you so carefully wrapped up before your move needs to all be unwrapped now. This can be a tedious and time-consuming process.
Organize Your Space
Our team will organize your new space and help you make the most of it so your new house really feels like home. Before you move, you can meet with our team (in person or virtually!) to talk about things like:
the layout and plans for the spaces at your new location
what things you’d like to add and install (think custom closets, built-ins, and containers)
any other new things you’d like to purchase for the spaces
Our professional team can help you best utilize your space by suggesting furniture placement and floor plans for each room, decor and furniture for the space, and organizational options for your closets, cupboards, and pantry.
Setting Up Your Home
When you’re moving, things can get crazy. No matter how hard you try, you’re bound to forget to do something. At the end of the day when you just want to fall into bed from exhaustion, there’s nothing worse than walking into your bedroom to see that you forgot to make your bed (or worse yet can’t find your pillows and blankets).
Moving also works up quite the appetite. Having the pantry and kitchen items unpacked and organized so you can grab a snack or make a meal in your new home can make the end of a long day of moving so much better.
Removing Packing Supplies
After you’re finished unpacking everything, what do you do with all the paper, bubble wrap, and all the boxes? Trash pick up may not be open for a few days, you haven’t been accepted to your neighborhood social media group to post so someone can pick them up, and you don’t want to be tripping over them.
We can coordinate with outside vendors to haul the unwanted moving supplies so you don't have to worry about figuring out what to do with them. We can break down boxes when packing, unpacking, and organizing.
Benefits of an Unpacking and Organizing Service
There are so many different benefits for including packing and unpacking needs as part of your moving plan. You might not think that you need to add this service to your next move, but you won’t regret having so much help and being able to settle into your home more quickly. Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, hiring someone to help you unpack and organize your new space is full of benefits:
Saves time
We all only have so many hours in the day. Between work, families, and actually physically moving, unpacking can drag on for a very long time. Let someone else handle it for you while you’re doing other things around your home or a new neighborhood.
meet a deadline
If you have some of your items in a storage unit or portable storage container, you may be on a deadline to get your items out and into your home. Being able to get those items into your new home and have someone else unpack them can help you save time and money.
settle in sooner
One of the best things to do after a move is to just take a night or weekend “off”. That can be hard to do when you’re looking at stacks of boxes or can’t remember what box your favorite blanket is in to curl up on the couch with it. Letting someone help you with emptying those boxes will help you make your new location feel like home sooner.
everything is neat and tidy
Walking into your kitchen and opening the cupboard, drawer, or pantry, and seeing exactly what you need is such a comforting feeling after you move. Starting out with everything in its place will help to keep up with cleaning and organizing in your new place. Professional organizers will know exactly how to make the most of your storage areas and kitchen cabinets.
things are where they make sense
Pair the stress of moving and unpacking with trying to look at kitchen cupboards and closets to figure out where everything belongs and you’ll find yourself overwhelmed. Putting everything away once is enough work; having to move things around three or four times to find the “right” spot is a lot of unnecessary work. Hiring someone who’s an expert will help ensure everything is where it fits and makes the most sense for your home, lifestyle, and preferences for how the different spaces will be used.
gives you a fresh start
Moving is a great time to purge and get rid of things you no longer need. Getting rid of things can be a challenge because of an emotional attachment to the item. Letting someone who doesn’t have those connections help you decide what works best in the space and what to let go of can be helpful to declutter your space. It can also save you money by not overbuying items to decorate and organize your new space without knowing what you need or will work best.
More Calm Moving Day
Sometimes you just can’t be as available as you’d like to be on moving day. You might be moving across the country and your items will arrive before you do and you might have commitments you’re not able to change to start unpacking right away. Knowing that it doesn’t all fall on you to unpack and organize your belongings can help make moving day a little less stressful.
