For Summer moves, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help keep costs down and make sure things go smoothly. So, we’ve put together some practical tips to help you feel confident and well prepared for your summer move:

Top Tips for Moving in the Summer

  • It is estimated that half of all moves occur during the April to September, which makes this time frame peak moving season in many places.
  • Moving outside of peak season demand, between September and April, can save money as demand for moving companies declines. Contact a mover now for a fall move and make a deposit to take advantage of those savings
  • If you absolutely have to move in July or August, move during the week. Fees higher on the weekends due to moving services being in demand.
  • Create an eight week moving timeline if possible to organize moving preparation week by week.

More Peak Season Moving Tips

Summer moves aren’t just about logistics—they’re about adapting to the season’s unique demands. From staying cool in rising temperatures to safeguarding belongings from heat damage, a little extra preparation goes a long way. 

  • Start early: Schedule your moving date and hire our professional moving services as soon as possible to secure availability during the peak moving season. On moving day, schedule things to start early in the morning to avoid the summer heat.
  • Stay cool and comfortable: Moving in the summer heat requires preparation. Dress in breathable clothing, keep plenty of water on hand, and try to create a cool and comfortable environment with fans or air conditioning.
  • Protect heat-sensitive items: Summer weather can be harsh on electronics, candles, and other items sensitive to heat. Consider moving some of these items in your personal vehicle where you can manage the temperature as needed. Keeping electronics cool is much easier this way than once they’ve been piled into a moving truck with all your other belongings. 
  • Pack smartly: Proper packing supplies are essential. Use high-quality boxes and avoid overloading them. Reserve packing paper and bubble wrap for fragile belongings, and label boxes clearly for easy unpacking.
  • Plan for your moving truck: Parking and accessibility for the moving truck can be tricky during the busy summer months. Coordinate with your neighbors to make sure that the moving truck will have an easy time accessing both your old and new dwellings.
