Advanced Moving Checklist / Planning

In this blog entry, the TriState area professional residential and commercial moving team here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage will detail the best steps to take to prepare for your move and keep an organized checklist to make the entire moving process easier.

8 Weeks Before the Move, begin your moving plan. Starting early gives you time to sort, schedule, and streamline. Start by reviewing your belongings and making a plan.

What to do now:

  • Create a moving folder (digital or physical) for documents and receipts
  • Research moving companies and get quotes
  • Notify your landlord or review your lease if you’re renting
  • Start sorting and donating items you no longer need
  • Make a list of utilities and services to transfer or cancel

4 Weeks Before: Book Movers and Start Packing

One month out is the ideal time to book your movers and start packing non-essential items. Label everything clearly to make unpacking easier.

  • Confirm your move date with Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage
  • Order packing supplies (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, labels)
  • Start packing seasonal items, books, and decor
  • Label boxes by room and importance (e.g., “Kitchen – Daily Use”)
  • Notify schools, banks, doctors, and your employer of your new address

1 Week Before: Final Prep and Confirmation

With one week to go, focus on essential tasks like packing your everyday items, packing an overnight bag, and confirming all details with your movers.

  • Pack a suitcase with clothes, toiletries, and chargers
  • Take photos of electronics before disconnecting them
  • Clean your old home or schedule a cleaning service
  • Confirm arrival time and details with your movers
  • Defrost and clean your fridge (if you’re moving it)

Moving Day: Stay Calm and Focused

The big day is here! Start early, keep important documents handy, and do a final walk-through before leaving.

  • Be present when the movers arrive
  • Walk through your home one last time to check for forgotten items
  • Keep important documents and valuables with you
  • Ensure all boxes are labeled and loaded in the right order
  • Lock windows and doors before leaving
