It's a chilly 12°F today in Somerville, MA, the location of Gentle Giant Moving Company headquarters. With winter in full swing, we are taking all necessary precautions to make sure every move is safe and efficient.
Here are some great winter moving tips:
*Slow down--Our moving trucks do not move as fast as cars and we are certain to be extra careful in the winter months. With school back in session and plenty of weather challenges, we make sure to allow for extra time on the road.
*Be Prepared--We carry shovels and other ice and snow removal tools. This allows us to clear a safe and ice-free path when moving your most precious items.
*Protect Your Floors--The slush of winter can create quite the mess. We are sure to cover floors and carpets to avoid tracking in snow.
*Keep Warm Things Warm--Consider which of your belongings are sensitive to temperature. Plants, food, and materials that expand or contract with extreme temperature shifts should not be stored overnight in a moving truck. We recommend transporting these items in your own vehicle or enlisting Gentle Giant Storage for your climate control needs.
*Be Flexible--Although many moving companies are seasonal, Gentle Giant operates year round. With fewer customers moving in the winter months, the more flexible you are with your date of move, the more likely you are to get a better deal.
Stay warm out there!
