Preparing Your Home for Moving Day
Pre-Load Safety Checklist (Storage-Unit Moves & Portable Storage Units)
Set Aside Do-Not-Load Items - Keep money, credit cards, jewelry, furs, original documents, and other irreplaceable items with you. Do not place these in the storage unit.
Drain Power Equipment - Empty gas and oil from lawnmowers, trimmers, chainsaws, and generators to meet facility and transport safety rules.
Disconnect Electronics & Appliances - Unplug computers, TVs, cable boxes, refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other major appliances.
Pro Tip: Use a washer/dryer stabilizer kit to protect drums and bearings during transit.
Defrost & Clean Refrigerators/Freezers - Do this at least 24 hours before moving day to prevent leaks, mold, and odors.
Pro Tip: Place coffee beans or baking soda inside to absorb lingering smells.

Order pro-grade supplies without guessing quantities. Tell us about your floor plan or unit size and we’ll recommend the right mix of wardrobe boxes, dish packs, breathable blankets, and shrink wrap. Hardware—ratchet straps, pallet jacks, dollies, ramp plates—rides with your crew or arrives via courier if you’re packing ahead of time. Color-coded labels and QR tags match the storage map so every box can be found without tearing apart the unit.
