3. Keep Cold Weather Clothing Close

 Since it’s the winter make sure to keep some cold weather clothing close at hand, like a winter jacket, gloves, a hat, and boots. If there’s something you packed by accident, just let our movers know. We’ll do our best to help you retrieve it.

4. Keep Snow Outside

Central Maine Moving & Storage goes the extra mile to make sure your home stays clean during a winter move. We clear the entryway, lay down floor mats for protection, remove shoes, and clean up.

5. Keep the Driveway Clear

 We recommend customers clear their driveway and entry of snow before their move begins. Our moving crew arrives with shovels and salt to make sure they can access your home easily and safely accessible.

6. Protect Your Items

We pack, pad, and wrap your furniture inside the home before carrying it to the truck to protect your valuable items from the winter elements during your move.

7. Turn on Utilities

Make sure your new home is ready for your arrival. Are your utilities turned on? Heat turned up? Driveway plowed? Doorways cleared? Also, have some hot beverages on hand. Movers can get cold too! Not a requirement, but appreciated. They’ll think you’re awesome!

8. Need it Later? Put it in Storage

Did you sell your home in the winter but are not ready to move into your new home yet? We can pack and store your furniture locally in our military-approved, climate-controlled storage facility until you move to your new home.
