Moving During the COVID-19 Pandemic

June 22, 2021

The COVID-19 put a stop to many of our normal activities, but you may not have the option of postponing your move to a new location. Fortunately, moving companies are considered an essential service. When you need to pack up and go, we've got you covered with the best safety practices for protecting you and your family.

Is It Practical to Move During COVID-19?

There are many reasons you might need to move, despite the current health crisis. You may have sold your home, bought or built a new home, started a new rental lease, or you are relocating for work or school. If you are moving to a new state, check the requirements before going, since each one is different. It is advised that if possible, postpone your move until social distancing restrictions have been eased, especially if you are in a high-risk category.

Safety Guidelines for Moving During the Pandemic

The number of details involved in moving put it in the top ten most stressful life events. Combine that with a pandemic, and it's off the charts. One of the greatest services we offer our customers is reducing your stress load. Our moving teams work reliably to complete a smooth, efficient move. During COVID-19, we are taking additional precautions:

  • Compliance with local and federal guidelines for social distancing
  • Providing estimates using virtual home surveys
  • Frequent sanitization of trucks and equipment
  • Wearing gloves and masks
  • Stocking trucks with hand sanitizer

Preparing to Move

Before your moving date, these are the recommended steps to follow:

  • Give us a call to confirm your reservation and go over best practices. 
  • Sanitize everything in your home before it is packed. 
  • If you have chosen to do your own packing, bring in your packing materials in one trip. 
  • When our moving team arrives, maintain social distancing. 
  • Let us know if anyone in your home is experiencing virus symptoms. If you are not feeling well, it is important that you let us know, so we can reschedule your move.

Our Commitment to You

Your satisfaction is the top priority for us when you are making the transition to a new chapter in your life. You can count on our commitment to your health and safety in the process. Reach out to us, anytime, 24/7.
