Preparation Timeline For Your Move
8 Weeks
Before the move
Typically you will want to plan your move as early as possible. Finding a reputable Denver moving company, like Abe Lincoln Movers, can help you address any moving concerns you may have. This is also a good time to get a quote for your move to calculate potential moving expenses. Here are some other moving checklist items that need to be addressed before your big moving day:
- Create a moving folder or computer file where you can store any important information or documents regarding your move. For example, these documents would include your moving quote, a list of items you want to sell, moving expense receipts, a lease if you’re a renter, etc.
- Request time off from work if you aren’t moving on your days off.
- Plan a garage sale and schedule a pick-up time with your donation center for any of your leftover unwanted items.

Day Before Your Move
The day before your move is a chance to ensure you have gathered all your belongings. Make sure nothing is left behind in your home by rechecking drawers and closets. Set aside items that you will need the first day at your new place, and ensure you have weather appropriate items for the next day!
