Best DIY House Move Guide 2023 On Moving Blankets, By Brooklyn Movers

by PRC Agency PR

Moving to a new home can be a real nightmare - there are just so many things that can go wrong, and when they involve all of your worldly possessions being packed in a truck... well, it can be a little stressful.

Here's the thing though - it doesn't have to be.

With a few basic precautions, you can forget the stress, leave the mess, and take this time to just enjoy your new home.

It's easier than you might think, all you need is the same thing you need for any big job - the right tools, and the right strategy, and that's simple with Movers.com

It's so simple, you don't even need to finish my blog to get all the facts. You can get them straight from the source, with no middle-man, just by clicking right here.

That link will take you to an awesome guide I found on Movers.com, that talks all about furniture pads, how to use them properly, where to get them, and why you can't move without them.

If you're moving yourself, then this is definitely important information, so please don't skip it. Your furniture, floors, moving van, and stairs will all thank you... or they would if they could talk.

If you're hiring a professional moving company, then that part is less important, because furniture pads are one of the essential items most movers will provide, as well as carts, dollies, and packing tape. However, if you want to save some money by doing all, or even part of the move yourself - then you're going to need to know.

Don't run off if you're hiring a professional though, because I still have some essential money-saving tips for you. If you're in a rush, I guess you could skip to the link at the bottom of the blog, to get up to 7 free quotes from top-rated local movers - but more on that later.

For now, let's talk about furniture pads.

Furniture pads can often be rented from moving-associated companies, such as U-Haul, Penske, or Budget, and can be purchased from home improvement stores such as Lowes or Home Hardware. If you're not in a rush, you can even get them from Amazon.

Now, if you're thinking, "I don't need this, I have blankets and towels!" - think again.

While household items can be used as packing materials, such as heavy blankets, plastic wrap, or bubble wrap, these solutions are often less effective and can lead to damaged furniture or floors. So, yeah, sure - you CAN use them, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Using the wrong materials is only slightly better than using none at all, and in some ways, it's worse. It can give you or anyone helping you move a false sense of confidence that your furniture is protected when it really isn't.

Unfortunately, due to ever-changing pieces, I can't estimate the cost of furniture pads. What I can do though, is point you at a chart that can help to calculate how many furniture pads will be required for a given move. You can estimate your needs in one of two ways, either by the size of the truck you are using to move or by counting how many will be required for each large piece of furniture. Either way, just click here to see the chart, and the full guide, for free.

Okay, if you skipped to the bottom of the blog - this is where you want to start reading again.

The thing is, even if you're not doing any part of the job yourself, and you don't need to supply furniture pads, Movers.com can still help you to save money, stress, and time.

All you have to do is use their free estimate tool, and that's simple. Just fill out one form with some details about your move, and they'll send it to 7 pre-screened, top-rated local moving companies.

Those 7 companies will send you back free, no-obligation estimates of the cost for your entire move, so you can find the best choice.

I did say it was easy, right?
