5 Tips for your Next Summer Move
No matter how many times you’ve done it, moving someplace new is never easy. It takes time, money and very careful planning. Forget one seemingly small detail? It can throw a wrench in the entire process. And that’s especially true in the summer, when everyone is trying to find a new place while school is out – despite the raging Texas heat. Here are a few tips for your next summer move.

1. Plan it out Waaaaaaaay in Advance
Summer is the best time to move. The downside? Other homeowners will want to schedule their move during the sunny months too. Want to avoid all the stress? Plan it out. That includes booking the service as early as possible, otherwise, you may find that the moving company you want to use is all booked up.
2. Know the Restrictions
Moving in the summer is costly. You’ll need to contend with peak season rates. One way you can save on costs, though, is to find out what requests or moving services will get you billed for extra charges. That lets you know which services you need to avoid or if adjusting your budget is a much better option for you. Be sure to get a list of the items that the firm won’t move.
3. Listen to your Body
Pay attention to your body during the move. Are you tired? Do you feel dizzy? It’s not easy moving in the summer. The heat may be too much for you. Take it easy and stay hydrated throughout the day. If you feel like something is off, then stop doing whatever it is you’re doing and take deep breaths. Don’t push yourself too hard. Let the pros handle everything.
4. Start Early
Temperatures can rise well above 90 degrees early on here in Texas. Make things easier by beating the summer heat. Ask the crew to get to your home at the earliest time they can manage it. The work is sure to go easier when you start out while it’s still relatively cool. If they manage to get the items into the truck while the sun is still out or just coming up, then that gives you less time to do all the heavy lifting in hot weather.
5. Choose a Reliable Team
Lastly, pick a moving company that puts you at ease when it comes to big projects like this. With MoveStar, relocating should be relatively easy. You can count on an experienced crew to handle everything for you.
