There is a lot of work that goes into planning a haul, and if you are thinking of changing from an apartment or single-family abode to a condo, there is going to be some things that one will be required to deal with to see to it that everything flows smoothly without a hitch. That being said, here are some tips that should make this process easier.
-
Get quotes for stairs and multi-level relocation
Haul estimates are mostly given based on how far the two places are to each other, and also how much work will go into the entire process. Talk to different haulers and now which services and prices will work for you. Ask them about everything, including the stairs, that way when they give you an estimate it is completely accurate. On top of that, take a day and measure the entryways of the new place, lest you get there on the D-day and your items cannot fit.

Change the providers for utilities and services
Long Distance Movers in Montreal always inform their clients on the need to set up utilities once they decide to relocate to a condo. While they wouldn’t have had to do this before since things water and power are added in the lease, when it comes to this type of abode, one might have to do it themselves. Come up with a list of what needs to be disconnected in the old place and see to it that the new one has everything up and running. It is advisable to overlap too such as having power put off the day after the haul in the old home, and having it on the day before arriving at the new one.

Go over the parking an elevator space
If you are lucky, the condo you are relocating to has spacious parking spaces, and the truck will be able to get a spot to park as the goods are being offloaded. Nonetheless, one might not always have it this way, particularly if it is in an urban place. Set a date with the managers and ask if they can have a spot and an elevator reserved for you to use on the D-day. If they can get you the service elevators, the better as these tend to be bigger and built in a way that they can handle heavy loads.

Sell old items or purchase others
As well as being an exciting journey, going on a haul also offers an opportunity to do away with any unused belongings that one might be hoarding in their homes. Apart from reducing the amount of clutter, this is also a sure way to save on cash since the number of things being transported will reduce, therefore lowering the costs. We also advise going over everything so that one can know if they need any new items.
