Your Must-Do Checklist from Paradise Movers
Moving day is here — and whether you’re excited, overwhelmed, or running on caffeine and adrenaline, a solid plan makes all the difference.
We’ve put together this helpful list of 10 things to do on moving day to help keep things calm, organized, and totally under control.
1. Wake Up Early (Even if You’re Not a Morning Person)
Why it matters:
- Movers usually start bright and early, so give yourself time for coffee, a quick breakfast, and one last walkthrough
2. Keep Your Essentials Bag Close
Why it matters:
- Some movers give vague or lowball estimates, then add surprise charges later.
Pack a “Moving Day Survival Kit” with:
- Wallet, keys, phone, chargers
- Snacks + water bottles
- Medications
- Toilet paper + paper towels
- Important documents
- A clean outfit & basic toiletries
🎒 This bag stays with you — not in the moving truck!
3. Do a Final Sweep of Every Room
Check all drawers, closets, cabinets, behind doors — you’d be surprised what hides out.
4. Label Last-Minute Items
If you had to pack a few last boxes or bags that morning, label them right away — even if it’s just with a sticky note or marker.
Make sure any “Open First” items are clearly marked too.
5. Prep for the Movers’ Arrival
- Clear walkways and hallways
- Reserve parking space if needed
- Have pets safely secured
- Introduce yourself and walk your movers through the home
6. Stay Hydrated & Snack-Ready
Moving is physical work — for both you and your movers. Keep water bottles and quick snacks handy for everyone.
7. Do a Final Meter Reading
Before you leave your old place, snap a photo of your hydro, water, and gas meters (if applicable).
📸 You’ll thank yourself later when final bills come in.
8. Lock Up & Leave Keys as Instructed
If you’re renting or selling, follow your landlord or realtor’s instructions for where to leave keys, garage openers, or fobs.
9. Clean Up Before You Go (Or Let Us Handle It)
Before you close the door one last time, give your old place a quick refresh — wipe down surfaces, sweep or vacuum floors, and don’t forget to empty the fridge.
🧼 Too busy or just over it? Paradise Movers offers professional move-out cleaning services so you can focus on settling into your new home — not scrubbing the old one.
10. Take a Deep Breath… You Did It!
Once you’ve arrived at your new home, take a moment to soak it all in. You made it. You moved. And with Paradise Movers by your side — you made it feel like a breeze.
🎉 Now go order your favorite takeout, kick back, and enjoy your new space.
