Your Top Moving Questions Answered: Expert Tips for a Stress-Free Move in 2025

Do you have a move coming up in 2025? If so, you might have questions about what to expect as you plan your relocation. As a leading Orange County moving company, Alex Moving & Storage strives to simplify the moving process for our customers, and we are happy to share our expertise with you. Below are answers to some of the top moving questions.

1.) How Far in Advance Should I Book Movers?

Booking movers is one of the first things that you will need to do when planning your move, and we recommend doing this sooner rather than later. If you are moving during a busy time of year like spring or summer, you will want to book your movers 2-3 months in advance of moving day. If you are not moving during peak season, you should aim to firm up your moving date about 1-2 months prior to your move.

2.) What Should I Look for in a Moving Company?

With so many moving companies out there, it can be hard to choose the right one. Some of the things that you should look for in a moving company include:

  • Licensing and Insurance
  • Services Offered
  • Online Reviews

3.) How Do I Prepare My Home for Movers?

To prepare your home for movers, you should declutter, pack, disassemble furniture, and protect your doorways, walls, and floors using coverings to avoid property damage during the moving process. When you work with Alex Moving & Storage, we will bring everything you need to protect your residence from damage and can help with packing and furniture disassembly/assembly.

4.) How is Pricing Calculated?

There are several factors that go into calculating moving pricing including distance, weight of items, and the type of services requested. If you choose to hire Alex Moving & Storage to assist with your relocation, we will happily provide you with a free and accurate upfront estimate.

5.) How Should I Pack Fragile Items?

There are many things that you can do to ensure that even your most delicate belongings stay safe during your move. We recommend individually wrapping items with bubble wrap, using sturdy boxes, adding packing peanuts, and clearly labeling boxes as fragile. If you need extra help with this, the professional movers at Alex Moving & Storage can help you efficiently and safely pack your fragile items for transport.

6.) How Do I Handle Last-Minute Changes to My Moving Plans?

Last-minute issues and emergencies can occur during the moving process. Should you experience any issues in the days leading up to your move, be sure to keep everyone (including movers, family members, hotels) in the loop and to be flexible. The best thing you can do is to hire Alex Moving & Storage to help with your move. With decades of experience, there is nothing we haven’t seen, and we will calmly and professionally handle any last-minute crises.
