Movers in Mississauga, Ontario | We serve Toronto & Brampton

Moving soon? Here are some great tips to help you get started!

Before you start packing, you will need to have different sizes of boxes, packing tape, wardrobe boxes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, zip lock bags, markers and scissors.
Make sure to begin packing well ahead of the move.
Try to concentrate on one room at a time and label each box by room and item.
Wrap all your fragile items in bubble wrap or tissue paper.
Make sure that boxes are not too heavy.
When furniture is too bulky or heavy to move in one piece, you will need to disassemble, and put all the bolts and nuts in a plastic bag and attach it to the furniture.
Carpets and rugs should be rolled up and secured with tape.
Don't forget to dispose of gasoline and oil from lawnmowers and other machinery.
Don't pack flammable items.
When disassembling your beds, use tape to bind the frames together.
Clearly mark fragile items.
Important documents, jewelry, money, artwork, and home videos should be packed separately and carried with you.
