With school out, longer days, and warm weather, it's no surprise that summer is the busiest time of year for moving.

At Viking Moving & Storage, we've helped families move throughout New England for more than 30 years, and we've learned a few tricks for making summer moves go more smoothly.

1. Start Early

Summer temperatures can rise quickly. Whenever possible, schedule packing and moving tasks for the morning hours when it's cooler and more comfortable.

2. Keep Water Handy

Moving is hard work, especially on hot days. Keep plenty of cold water available for everyone involved in the move and take breaks when needed.

3. Protect Heat-Sensitive Items

Candles, electronics, artwork, and certain household products can be affected by extreme heat. Talk with your moving team about the best way to transport delicate items safely.

4. Book Your Move Early

Summer schedules fill up fast. Reserving your move as early as possible gives you the best chance of securing your preferred dates.

5. Don't Forget About Storage!

Need extra time between homes? Whether you're renovating, downsizing, or waiting on a closing date, flexible storage solutions can help make your move easier.

Summer is one of our favorite times of year, and we're here to help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you're planning a move this season, the team at Viking Moving & Storage is ready to help.
