Planning a Move? Here’s Your Week-by-Week Guide to a Smoother Moving Day

Moving can feel overwhelming, but it gets a whole lot easier when you know what to do and when to do it. Whether you're moving across town or across the state, a little planning can make a big difference.

8 Weeks Before Your Move
Start planning! Create a moving budget, research moving companies, and begin going through closets, storage areas, the garage, and other places where things tend to accumulate.

6–7 Weeks Before
Choose and book your moving company. Start deciding what you want to keep, donate, sell, or toss. This is also a great time to start gathering boxes and packing supplies.

4–5 Weeks Before
Start packing items you don't use every day. Seasonal clothes, books, decorations, extra kitchen items, and storage areas are good places to begin. Start making a list of everyone who will need your new address.

2–3 Weeks Before
Now it's time to get serious about packing. Label boxes by room and include a quick description of what's inside. Arrange utilities for your new home and confirm the details of your move.

A1 Moving Tip: Clearly mark anything that should NOT go on the moving truck. Important documents, medications, valuables, keys, chargers, and anything you'll need immediately should stay with you.

1 Week Before
Finish most of your packing and prepare a box or suitcase with everything you'll need for your first night. Think toiletries, clothes, bedding, towels, medications, chargers, coffee supplies, pet necessities, and a few basic kitchen items.

The Day Before
Charge your phone, double-check your moving-day plans, clear walkways, and make sure boxes are labeled and ready to go. Keep important paperwork and essentials separate from everything being loaded.

Moving Day!
Do a final walkthrough before leaving. Check closets, cabinets, drawers, the garage, basement, attic, and outdoor areas. Keep your phone, keys, paperwork, medications, and valuables with you.

Your First Week in Your New Home
You don't have to unpack everything immediately! Start with bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen. Work through the remaining boxes room by room and give yourself some time to settle in.

One Last A1 Moving Tip: The earlier you start planning, the less stressful moving day will be.

Moving soon? A1 Moving is here to help make moving day easier, from the first box to the last.

Save this checklist for your next move or share it with someone who's getting ready to move!

Why Summer Is the Perfect Time for Older Adults to Move

Making the decision to move is never easy, especially after living in a home filled with years or even decades of memories. Whether you're downsizing, moving closer to family, or transitioning to a senior living community, summer offers several advantages that can make the process easier, safer, and less stressful.

If you've been thinking about making a move, this season may be the perfect opportunity to begin your next chapter.

One of the biggest benefits of moving during the summer is the weather. Minnesota winters can bring icy sidewalks, snow, and freezing temperatures, making moving day much more challenging.

Summer's warm temperatures and dry conditions reduce the risk of slips and falls, making it easier and safer for older adults to move around while packing, organizing, or settling into a new home. With more daylight hours, there is less pressure to rush through moving day. Movers have more time to carefully load and unload belongings, giving everyone a chance to take breaks and move at a comfortable pace. A relaxed schedule can make a big difference during what is often an emotional transition.

Moving during the summer gives older adults several months to become comfortable in their new surroundings before cold weather arrives. Whether you're learning your way around a new neighborhood, getting involved in activities, or simply making your new home feel familiar, having time to adjust before winter can make the transition much easier. Summer schedules often make it easier for adult children and grandchildren to help with sorting, packing, moving, or simply providing emotional support. Having loved ones nearby during a move can make the experience more enjoyable and help create positive memories during an important life change.

Summer is an ideal season to sort through years of belongings. Garage sales, donation drives, and charity pickups are more common, making it easier to pass treasured items along to family members or donate them to organizations that can use them. Many people find that downsizing becomes less overwhelming when they have more time and pleasant weather to work with. Many senior living communities host open houses, outdoor events, and social gatherings during the summer months. This gives prospective residents an opportunity to tour communities, meet staff, and get to know future neighbors before moving in. Feeling comfortable with your new home before move-in day can make the transition much smoother.

Let the Professionals Handle the Heavy Lifting
Moving doesn't have to be physically exhausting. Hiring professional movers means you don't have to worry about lifting heavy furniture, navigating stairs, or transporting fragile belongings.

At A-1 Moving, we understand that every senior move is unique. Our experienced team takes the time to carefully protect your belongings while treating every customer with patience, respect, and compassion. Whether you're moving into a smaller home, a condominium, or a senior living community, we're here to make the experience as smooth and worry-free as possible.

Moving isn't just about changing addresses. It's about creating a home that better fits your current lifestyle and gives you the freedom to enjoy what's ahead.

If you've been considering a move, summer provides the perfect combination of beautiful weather, longer days, and extra time to get comfortably settled before winter.

Let A-1 Moving help make your next move your easiest one yet. Contact our team today for a free estimate and discover why Minnesota families trust us to help their loved ones move with care.
