Long Island movers

Contrary to popular belief, moving during the winter in Long Island isn’t all that bad. With a little preparation and luck, you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free relocation that is much more affordable than it would be in the summer. To help you conquer the daunting task of winter moving, our Long Island movers put together a checklist that will help you through the process.

Do Your Research and Hire the Right Moving Company

Although most people think that hiring professional movers will cost you an arm and a leg, that couldn’t be further from the truth; especially in winter. Because the cold slows down business, moving companies offer all sorts of specials between the end of November and beginning of March. We recommend you get estimates from multiple companies and decide on one that provides the best value.

Keep Winter Items with You

When moving during the winter, you run the risk of driving into a snow storm. In this scenario, make sure you have an array of essential winter tools with you. You’ll want a snow brush to clean off your car, a shovel to clear a path from your truck to the house and salt to melt any ice near your doorway. 

Bundle Up

Most importantly, you’ll want to dress warm. You’ll probably be spending a lot of time moving in and out of your house and truck, so make sure you have enough layers on to keep you nice and toasty. We recommend a jacket, gloves, hat, long underwear, a few pairs of socks and boots.
