Falling leaves adds an element of beautiful Fall marvel to the season. However, leaves dropped on walkways can cause a danger to our movers and your household items. Newly fallen or soaked leaves can create a slippery surface, creating problems for movers carrying your items to navigate. Before the local or cross country movers arriving at your home, be sure all porches and exterior sidewalks are clear. Our movers and your belongings will appreciate it.
Fall also has its share of wet weather. If it’s rainy on your moving day, don’t worry! Corrigan will preserve your house with rug runners and carpet cling to be certain your house stays clean. Furthermore, your furniture is wrapped and protected from the weather while being loaded to the truck. If it’s raining heavily, the crew can attempt to pre-stage boxes and furnishings nearby the entrance, so the movers can load the truck over dry (or at least, dryer) periods. And bear in mind, Corrigan will never reschedule or cancel moves due to rain.
If you’re getting ready to move cross country, hurricane season is important to be mindful of. Even if you are not moving to a coastal state, hurricanes and dangerous weather circumstances can affect the complete transportation industry. Shipments will be delayed or rerouted during significant storms, affecting every other shipment scheduled for that truck and the cross country movers. Having patience in case of these major storms is essential, as we operate to find the quickest and safest solutions for all involved. If a longer delay is required from storm damage close to your new home, Corrigan will work with you to come up with storage solutions to satisfy your needs.
On your move day, the crew will prep your home to adapt to their easiest and quickest methods for loading the truck. This implies at least one door to your house will be open for most of the day. With cooler temperatures upon us, that implies your home will get cold! Be prepared to have a jacket or sweater from the packed boxes to remain warm. Moreover, creating a small place for yourself inside a room to warm up is a wonderful way to stay comfy during the day. Include a blanket and a hot cup of coffee or cider, and you will be comfy and cozy the entire day!
Fall weather is usually unpredictable. That can make it hard to pack when you’re always switching between shorts and sweaters. Ensure to leave some articles of clothing from every season unpacked, so you can remain comfortable despite the temps of the day! Setting out varied clothing packed in a small suitcase will keep you suitably dressed for the day, whatever Mother Nature is planning for your cross country or local move!
