As exciting as it is to move into your new custom home, it can be equally stressful as well. As a new custom homeowner, you would want to move in as smoothly as possible, with no damages to your belongings or to your new home. This takes organized planning that should be done days before you move in. To make it easier for you, we have shared some tips below to help you move into your new custom home with no damages.
Make Sure to Measure Beforehand
You can make moving in a lot less stressful by taking measurements of your new custom home and creating a basic floor plan before you start moving in. Make sure to measure each room so you know where each furniture will fit perfectly; measure your doors, staircases and other entryways to avoid furniture getting stuck or not fitting through; and if you find that there won’t be enough space, make sure to remove your tight doors beforehand.
Check for Damage-Prone Areas and Protect Them
Your new custom home may be subject to damages on the first day itself if you do not take proper precautionary measures. So, make sure to check for damage-prone areas like corners, stairs and walls. These are areas that have high chances of getting impacted while moving in. For instance, hang blankets or plastic sheets on walls and banisters and make sure to attach felt pads on your furniture.
Make Your New Floor Damage-Proof
You don’t want your new flooring to be the subject of any kind of damage while moving in. So, to make your floor damage-proof, make sure you do not drag your furniture around. You can put moving blankets or flattened moving boxes under your furniture to prevent scrapes and scratches. Remember to make use of furniture slides too.
