Move Planning
When you give us a call at Grace Movers Providence, we will immediately have one of our Moving Consultants come to your home and discuss with you the details of your move. If you are busy, we can have a consultation over the phone at your convenience. Rest assured that you will still get an accurate estimate whether we do it in-person or over the phone. Our consultant will include the inventory of your rooms, including their contents, assembly and disassembly of furniture, packing requirements, fragile valuables, and other crucial details of your move. We will also consider any third-party services and storage facilities when we plan your move.
Professional Moving Plan
Our detailed Moving Plan includes information about the packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking on the day of your move. We will also outline the details of additional services you will require, such as third-party and storage services. After we have drafted the plan, we will offer you a moving estimate which details all the cost, extra services like storage and third-party services, packing and unpacking, and other pertinent information about the move. We will let you know about the logistics and estimated time to complete packing (if chosen), loading, transporting, and unloading of your items. We can discuss with you the details of our Moving Plan in a way that is convenient to you, whether it’s over the phone, email, or in-person. We, of course, prefer to present it to you in person so we can answer any questions you may have.
Moving Checklist
We present to you a helpful checklist that you can use weeks before your move:
2-3 Months Before Your Move:
- Decide on your moving date.
- Shop for a house (if you don’t have one yet), read city guide reviews, and school evaluations
- Find out whether your employer will reimburse the cost for your move, the rates, and the mode they will be dispersed.
- Having a garage sale may be helpful or donating some of your belongings that will not be part of your move. This will help you pack and unpack with ease and convenience.
1-2 Months Before Your Move:
- Get in touch with Grace Movers Providence to set an appointment for a consultation.
- Acquire or rent your new property.
- Make a list of the people or services that you need to inform about your change of address.

2 Weeks before Your Move:

- Make sure to clean your home and free it from any clutter. This way, you can help the movers have more ease in getting in and out of your home.
