Moving in the winter poses unique challenges with weather, road conditions, and exposure to the elements. At Booth Movers, we have over 45 years of experience moving homeowners and commercial business owners in the dead of winter in New Jersey. We know what it takes to keep your move on track every step of the way, despite hurdles that may come our way.
The Benefit of Moving in the Winter
While many people think of moving as a summer activity, there are benefits to being one of the few who choose to move in the winter. Oftentimes, our schedule will fill up in the summer, leaving little room to book last-minute moves. When you plan your move in the winter, you can enjoy the benefit of an open schedule with our movers. We're able to accommodate your requests fully with more movers available for local and long-distance moving.
How We Prepare for Winter Moving
Preparing for winter moving in New Jersey is not unlike summer moving. During all seasons, you should pack your belongings so they stay safe from rain or snow during the truck loading and unloading process. At Booth Movers, we take extra precautions to keep everything you own from being exposed to the elements. Some things we do to prepare include the following steps:
- Appropriate Clothing: In order to keep from slipping or falling while moving, our movers wear footwear with traction and make sure all walkways are properly shoveled and salted.
- Weather Preparation: Our team keeps a close eye on the weather forecast to make sure the coast is clear. If any intense weather is expected, we do everything in our power to reduce the chance of canceling the move.
- Preparing for Delays: Moving during the winter can take longer than during the summer. We account for extra time during the moving process to account for undesirable road conditions and unexpected delays.
- Sensitive Items: Our team provides the advice and guidance you need to keep sensitive items like electronics safe during the moving process.
- Waterproof Boxes: Items like books, documents, clothing, and more can be put in waterproof bags and boxes to ensure everything stays dry in case of inclement weather.
