Figure out your moving budget

As we said, after the thorough inspection you’ll know the basic moving cost. Your movers will add their input as well and you’ll know the final moving price. And the bigger home and garage you have, it will cost more. So, set aside a moving budget to cover each step and add a few special South Florida relocation services if needed. Maybe you are moving a vehicle, motorcycle, or heavy machinery with your garage as well. If that is the case, you’ll need a dedicated moving team to help you out. Therefore, communicate this part with your movers and have a budget ready.

Beware of the hazardous items and materials

Now, we all know that garage is full of random materials, chemicals, and tools. Some are harmless while others are extremely volatile. This means you must isolate all those materials and note them down. The moving company won’t move such items. Besides, you will endanger the whole moving process. And you do not want to do that. Therefore, check the list of the following and make sure you dispose of hazardous materials adequately:

  • Aerosol cans under pressure.
  • Solvents, paints, bleach, cleaning products, and all similar chemicals.
  • Gasoline, gas, and oil tanks.
  • Pesticides.
  • Batteries.

You got the idea by now. All those items are flammable, toxic, and dangerous in general. And you must figure out what to do with it. Either transport it yourself, give it to your neighbor, or dispose of it.

Pack your garage efficiently with the right moving supplies

Depending on the size of your garage, you’ll know how many supplies you must purchase. pack your garage efficiently but safely as well. If you need at least 20 cardboard boxes, you should purchase a few more just in case. Some items are robust and take the whole box while tools and other miscellaneous items can fit all in one box. But be mindful of the heavy items no matter the size of them. Do not overstuff your boxes. So, rush to the nearest hardware store and obtain cardboard boxes, blister packs, packing tape, and labels. Fetch a few plastic bins as well for more expensive and delicate items. And all those materials you can use for each room in your home, not only in your garage. Hence, obtain all we mentioned and get packing!

In case you want to skip the entire packing process, talk to your movers and purchase packing services Florida. It is an affordable way to exclude yourself from packing entirely and let your movers cover it. They will bring all the materials, pack, and unpack. Amazing service indeed.

Pack and declutter

Your garage, like any other, is full of junk as well. Especially if you are repairing your vehicle yourself and have a bunch of tools inside. Therefore, do some decluttering. We already mentioned all the hazardous materials you should remove. But remove old and unused stuff as well. There is surely a broken down piece of electronics and some old tools you do not use anymore. Not to mention that people store all their Christmas decorations, ski equipment, and a bunch of different seasonal items as well. Hence, inspect it all, declutter as much as you can, and donate or throw it away. If you do it right, you’ll have an easier time packing and your relocation will be cheaper as well.

Pack your garage efficiently, clean it out, and let’s get moving!

You are almost done. All packed and ready to go. One last thing you should do is to clean your garage inside out. There are surely paint and oil stains here and there. Not to mention all the dust and spider web that might be hidden behind all those items you just removed. Hence, clean it all as much as you can and leave your previous garage in a good state.

And now you know how to pack your garage efficiently. It can be a hard process depending on the nature of the items inside. But if you give yourself a couple of days, a bit of patience, and assemble an inventory list, it will all go well. Good luck and stay safe
