Hopefully these tips will help you relocate to your new place seamlessly so you can get right to unpacking and enjoying this next great step in your life.

Wait until it’s nice out

So many movers get fed up with their apartment or home during the winter and start looking for a new place right away. Sometimes, the lease works out where this is the only option, but if you can avoid it, try your best to refrain from moving during the winter. Not only will a wintery move be physically uncomfortable throughout the entire process, but it will actually be much more difficult. You’ll have to navigate the snowy roads with all your stuff and deal with taking all those boxes of items out to your car in the blistering cold. Start looking for new places during the winter, but wait until it’s nice out to actually make the move.

Don’t even think about doing everything by yourself, because you’ll almost certainly wear yourself out and cause much more stress. Since there is so much that goes into a single move, you need as much moving help you can get.

Take a week (or two) off from work

You’ll likely be exhausted at the end of each day and the last thing in the world you’d want to do is pack up your items and move them to your new location.

Fred C. Craig III is the owner of Craig Van Lines, a Northern Virginia moving company his family has run for more than a century. The business began in 1918 when J.H. Craig hauled cattle, feed, and hay from Virginia’s rural farms to the markets of the DC area. As the region shifted from farmland to residential communities in the 1940s, the family started moving households after hours and on weekends, eventually building the full-service moving company Craig Van Lines is today. Fred carries on that tradition, providing the same quality and care his family has brought to this community for over 100 years.
