Tips to Consider before Planning a Commercial Move
The post Tips to Consider before Planning a Commercial Move appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
Moving your business can significantly impact your productivity as well as your customer satisfaction. That’s why it’s important to make sure your commercial move goes as smoothly as possible. If you’re on the verge of moving your business, there are some tips that a commercial moving company in Chicago recommends to make sure the process is done efficiently without impacting your production. Here’s what you need to know.
Create Timeline and Budget
A move can take hours or weeks depending on the timeline you set. Come up with a timeline that will work well with business tasks that need to be completed without drawing the process out too long. In general, a smaller office will need a couple months to prepare for and carry out a move, while a larger office could take as long as eight or nine months. Creating a timeline can help outline the steps and tasks involved in the move so that things are done in the right order to not disrupt everyday business. Along with a realistic timeline, think about the budget for the move. Even if you attempt to do the move yourself, it will still cost money because employees will be required to give up hours of productivity to carry out the move themselves. Take into the consideration the cost of moving materials including boxes, tape, dollies, etc. A commercial moving company’s quote should include all these components of the move.
Know New Office Layout
It’s also important to know where things will go in the new office. If you can get a copy of the blueprint, you’ll be able to measure furniture and know exactly where things need to go in the new office. If this isn’t possible, go to the new space and take measurements and pictures so that you can get a rough idea of the space and placement of outlets. There will be less trial and error when moving into the new place. Be sure to schedule any structural changes well in advance of your move so that you don’t have to move everything twice.
Go Over Plan with Employees
Make sure your employees are kept abreast of the plans and changes for the move. This will help keep everyone on the same page and make sure the employees are informed so that they can continue doing their jobs throughout the move. Meetings should be held in the planning stages of the move, throughout the move, and as you begin settling into your new office space.
Give Customers a Heads Up
It’s also important to let your customers and clients know about the change so that they know where to find you after the move. In addition, keeping your customers informed shows them that they’re valued and that their satisfaction is important to you even in the midst of major changes.
Make Assignments
Whether you’re doing the move yourself or hiring movers, it’s important to make assignments so that nothing gets overlooked or forgotten. Create lists for the members of your team to make sure all the areas of your office are covered and that essential services are moved to the new location so that there’s no lapse in phone or internet coverage.
Use Professional Movers
Finally, consider hiring commercial movers to simplify your move. This will ensure that the move is done safely, quickly, and efficiently and that you can settle into your new place right away. To schedule your commercial move today or to request a quote, contact Wolley Movers Chicago today.

An Expert’s Guide to Moving Piano on a Hardwood Floor
The post An Expert’s Guide to Moving Piano on a Hardwood Floor appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
Moving a piano is always a big deal, simply because a piano is expensive, can be unwieldy, and can cause damage to your home when it’s not done properly. It’s even more nerve-wracking to move a piano when you have a hardwood floor to get across. Fortunately, if you follow the tips of a Chicago piano mover, you’re sure to move your piano safely without damaging it, your hardwood floor, or yourself in the process.
Don’t Count on Casters
Those casters—small wheels on the bottom of your piano—may look like an easy way to gently roll your piano across the floor, but don’t be fooled. The casters are far less sturdy than they look and will often break when used to roll your piano very far. It’s best to just pretend those wheels aren’t on the bottom of each leg and to treat them as more of a decorative component of the piano rather than a functional one.
Cover the Casters
In addition to not being a sturdy option for moving the piano, the casters can cause significant damage to your flooring, so it’s actually best to cover the casters when you move the piano. You can find caster cups that cover the legs on furniture to protect the floor. This is what you should use for your piano move as well. The casters have soft bottoms that will allow the piano to more gently slide across the floor if you’re simply moving the piano to somewhere else in the home.
Utilize Piano Dollies
If you’re moving your piano a greater distance, you’ll want to use piano dollies. These are large, flat platforms with four wheels that your piano can actually sit on. You’ll want at least two piano dollies that you can slide under each side of the piano if you’re moving an upright piano. Grand pianos can also utilize piano dollies, but they require a lot of help to balance the piano on the dollies. Although it’s possible to get enough manpower to simply lift the piano and move it across the floor, dollies eliminate the chance of someone tiring out and accidentally dropping a corner of the piano, potentially damaging the piano itself and your hardwood floor.
Protect the Floor
If you’re unable to get a piano dolly or caster cups due to a time crunch, you can still move your piano safely without damaging the floor, use something to protect the floor, such as moving pads, blankets, or even cardboard. The important thing is to make sure you use something that won’t be a tripping hazard, especially if you’re lifting and moving the piano rather than pushing it.
Consider Professional Help
Even following all the previous tips doesn’t guarantee a safe move for your piano of your hardwood floor. That’s why it’s best to keep your piano and floor safe by hiring the best piano mover money can buy. One reason it’s a good idea to hire piano movers is because the procedure for moving a piano can vary depending on the type and size of piano you’re moving. For instance, a grand piano requires the legs to be removed to avoid damage, while different types of uprights will require a different amount of manpower. A professional piano mover will know exactly what tools, equipment, and manpower is needed to make sure your piano is moved safely without damaging your floor. If you need a piano moved, call Wolley Movers Chicago at 773-761-8330 today to schedule your move, or request a quote online.

Common Moving Day Mistakes You Should Avoid
The post Common Moving Day Mistakes You Should Avoid appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
Moving can be an exciting process. It’s hard not to get caught up with the excitement of a new home in a new neighborhood–or even a new town. But, moving can also be stressful. Not only do you have to clean up years worth of messes, but you have to compartmentalize everything in hopes that it makes it to your new address safely. Just ask any local moving company, and they’ll urge you to plan ahead. A well-planned move saves time, money, and even some hairs on your head.
When you’re planning a move, make sure you don’t make any of the following common mistakes that can make moving even more of a hassle.
Procrastination
It’s easy to leave packing duty to your future self. Someday, you’ll get to it, right? Well, unfortunately, most moves are on a deadline. So, you have to start getting things in order well before moving day. Contact local moving companies about a month in advance to secure help–or at least a moving truck or van. Around that time, you should also start putting away possessions that you can live without, like clothes that are out of season, holiday decor, and small kitchen appliances. As for packing up all of your belongings, start at least a week in advance.
Falling Short on Supplies
It takes a surprising amount of supplies to make a move. You’ll need tape, boxes, labels, packing wrap, and door protector pads to prevent scuff marks on your furniture and electronics. Local moving companies should be able to provide supplies upon request.
Packing Up Essentials
Not everything should be packed up and loaded onto a truck on moving day. You may want to set aside some snacks and beverages for travel, as well as a fresh change of clothing. The same applies to any prescribed medications and important documents, including insurance and tax forms, birth certificates, medical records, identification cards, and credit cards. You want to keep those with you at all times.
Forgetting to Hire Help
Moving without help is like trying to paint your entire house by yourself; sure, you can technically try to do it, but the strain, hassle, and lost time isn’t worth the money you’ll save! Even worse, you, your family, or your friends can be injured during a move if you aren’t trained to handle this exhausting, extensive process.
Hiring the Wrong Help
Not all movers are created equal. Try to hire a legitimate moving company. Unlike hiring laborers or enlisting your friends’ help, hiring legitimate movers means trusting in trained, experienced help. Moving companies tend to have a larger staff that’s physically adept to handle moving heavy objects.
When you visit a mover’s website, make sure to peruse their service section. A service or about tab is where a local moving company will explain their services, including residential, commercial, or office moving. Also, find out if they perform long-distance moving if this applies to your situation. You may want to call them to ensure that they can help with certain unusual items like pianos or outdoor equipment.
Call Wolley Movers Chicago today if you’re on the hunt for the best movers. We’re a friendly, trained, and affordable local moving company in Chicago specializing in residential, commercial, and office moves. We can move you within the Chicago area or even long-distance! Call us today for a quote and even get supplies to start packing.

Quick Tips for Coping with Moving Stress
The post Quick Tips for Coping with Moving Stress appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
There’s no getting around it: moving into a new home will always come with stress. No matter how excited or eager you may be to move, coordinating the packing and relocating of all of your possessions is simply stressful. While this is normal, some people can become more stressed during their moves than others. If you’re really feeling the strain, here are a few tips to help you cope with moving stress.
Look on the Bright Side
You’ve probably heard similar pieces of advice many times over, but the fact remains that your mindset can really change the way you feel about any given situation. If you’re focused on all of the difficult parts of moving and you view it as a negative experience, then you’re more likely to feel stressed from it. However, if you’re focused on the positive, exciting parts of a move—starting fresh, decorating a new home, exploring a new town, or any other aspect of it that you might enjoy—then you can transform this experience into a positive one.
Plan Ahead
One of the best ways to make a move stressful is to procrastinate everything. So, if you want to cut down on your moving stress, make sure that you plan well ahead to ensure you get everything done. You may want to create a calendar for yourself that tells you when to have packing supplies, what rooms to pack on what days, what items to save for last-minute, what time the moving company is coming, and so on.
Be Organized
In addition to planning, you should also keep your move as organized as possible. A disorganized move is one that will give you gray hairs, so even if you’re not a Type-A personality, now may be the time to start working on your color coding and labeling skills. Have all the right moving supplies before you need them, pack your boxes with like items instead of throwing things in willy-nilly, and color code and label them accordingly. You’ll be amazed at how much less stressful your move will be if you do this.
Don’t Hold Down Emotions
Moving is quite literally a life-changing experience, and you’re going to have a lot of emotions that go along with it. You might be excited about starting this new adventure in your life, but you also might be anxious about relocating to an unfamiliar city where you don’t know anyone. You’re bound to struggle with saying goodbye to friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
While you might be tempted to tamp down those feelings so that you can focus on getting things done, this will inevitably lead to you feeling more overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted in the long run. Let yourself feel any emotions you have about the coming move and lean on friends and family for support when needed.
Unpack Quickly
Some people can take months (and even years) to move into a new place, only unpacking items as they need them. But the best way to cope with your moving stress is to get the move “officially” over with as quickly as you can. This means unpacking everything and completely settling into your new place. If you spend the first several months in your new home surrounded by unpacked boxes, you’ll not only be creating a stressful environment for yourself, but you won’t be allowing this new place to feel like home to you.
If you’re overwhelmed by the idea of moving everything yourself, contact Wolley Movers for affordable residential moving. Our movers are experts in residential moving in Chicago and can get your move done with as little stress for you as possible. Call now to learn more about our services.

A Guide to Moving into a Smaller Space
The post A Guide to Moving into a Smaller Space appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
There are many reasons why people downsize. Perhaps they’re moving to a new city where housing costs are higher so they can only afford a small apartment. Maybe there are new budgetary restrictions in their lives. Or, perhaps, they want to simplify and have a smaller home that’s easier to maintain. Whatever the reason is, the downsizing process can be difficult. Here are a few tips to make it easier.
Sort Through Items First
While you may be tempted to move all your stuff to your new place first to see how much of it will actually fit, this isn’t a great idea. Not only will you be filling your brand-new home with stuff you know you can’t keep, but you’ll be increasing your residential moving cost as well. So, sort through your things before you move and get rid of anything you don’t use regularly. This will save you a lot of time and the cost associated with packing up and moving things that you’re ultimately going to have to get rid of.
Measure Your Furniture
Find out the dimensions of the rooms in your new place, then draw or print up a floorplan and map out where you want your furniture to go. Measure your existing furniture to make sure it’s going to fit into the smaller space. This can save you a lot of hassle and headaches with trying to shove an overly large sofa into a tiny living room.
Disassemble Your Furniture
While your furniture might move about in your current home with no trouble while fully assembled, it could be a different story in a smaller space. Disassemble your furniture before loading it up. Of course, not all furniture can be disassembled completely, but do what you can, even if it just means removing the legs from your dining table. These small steps can make a big difference on the other end of your move and can help you to avoid banging up your new walls and doorways.
Move Large Items First
When you get to your new, smaller space, move in your larger items (typically your furniture) first. You’re not going to have as much room to maneuver in this new space as you did in your old home, so you want to make sure you get these large items into your new home before you begin filling the space with boxes and smaller pieces.
Color Code Your Boxes
When it comes to moving into small spaces, precision matters. Having people standing around in an already small living space that is becoming crowded with boxes, asking where items belong, is just asking for a bottleneck in your moving process. Keep the traffic flowing by color-coding your boxes when you pack them. Buy some colored labels and assign a color to each room of your new home. When you get to the new place, post a paper on the front door indicating where each color belongs. This keeps people moving along, prevents a buildup of boxes in a single front room, and makes the move much more efficient.
Moving into a smaller space can seem difficult at first, but if you prepare properly and take the right steps during the move, it doesn’t have to be. Contact Wolley Movers to get assistance with moving in Chicago. We’ll help you get moved into your new place is quickly and easily as we can.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Moving Company
The post Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Moving Company appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
As a business owner, you know that productivity and efficiency are critical keys to your business’s success. But those policies don’t just apply to your employees. If you’re relocating your business, then you want to ensure that your commercial moving company is working as effectively and efficiently as possible. Here are a few things that you can do to make sure you get the most out of your commercial movers.
Have Employees Clear Desks
Your commercial movers should have to worry about juggling employees’ personal items and figuring out where those desktop decorations belong. Make sure your employees completely clear off their desks and empty their drawers before the move. For optimum efficiency, have employees put all their items in a box and take those boxes home with them. They can simply bring them to the new building once you’re all moved in and set their desks back up then.
If you want the movers to move these items, you should still have your employees put them in boxes. Just label them with each employee’s name and have a designated area for the movers to put the boxes. That way, when you get to your new location, your employees can easily find their labeled box of items and take it to their new desks.
Unplug and Wind Cords
Disconnecting electronics and winding up their cords can take an absurd amount of time for your movers. But if each employee takes just a few minutes to unplug their computers and other equipment and appropriately wrap up the cords, it can save your movers a great deal of time. That way, they can simply pick up and move the equipment, furniture, and other items, instead of crawling beneath desks to unplug things.
Communicate Clearly
Clear and effective communication is another key to business success—and to business relocation as well. Make sure you have clearly communicated to your movers the dates, times, and locations that you need them. The last thing you want is for your movers to have the wrong address of your new building and for all of your equipment to end up in the wrong place as a result.
Prep New Location
Hopefully, the place that you’re moving your business to will already be cleaned out and completely move-in ready. However, it never hurts to double-check this. If necessary, prep the new location for your movers by removing any unnecessary items, clearing out any cords or debris obstructing the floor, and doing some general cleaning. This will make the relocation much smoother and easier, as your movers won’t need to navigate around other objects.
Let Them Work
You’re a business owner, and therefore, a natural manager. But odds are, you’re not an expert in commercial relocation—your movers, on the other hand, are. So, do your best to stand back and let your movers do their jobs. While you may need to give occasional directions about where you would like furniture placed and so on, as much as possible, you should let the experts handle this. They’ll be much more effective if you do.
You want your corporate relocation to go off without a hitch, and you want to get the most out of your movers while you’re doing it. If you’re relocating your business, contact Wolley Movers for the best commercial moving in Chicago.

Keeping Your Home Clean and Organized after a Move
The post Keeping Your Home Clean and Organized after a Move appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
The last thing you want to do is have a messy home after a long move. Although it might seem impossible to keep your new home organized, there’s plenty you can start doing today! Here are a few tips you can begin using to keep your home in great shape after a move with kids and pets.
Begin with Small Changes
If you have a particularly cluttered home, it can be challenging to maintain a clean and organized home. This is why it’s always best to start small and work your way towards a cleaner lifestyle. Do this by adopting habits to clean and keep yourself organized, whether this is making your bed every morning or cleaning up the kitchen after meals. It might seem like hard work now, but over time, you’ll start to appreciate how clean you’re making the house and how much more organized you can become!
Create a Chore Chart
Having a chore chart is such an easy, fun, and effective way to get everyone at home to pitch in. Create a rotating chart today of chores and individuals in your household to do at least one chore every day. This can help to keep your house clean and organized week-round. Plus, there won’t be any more criticizing for not doing chores, when everyone has their own task list. Just make sure you get yours done, so no one has to pick up your slack!
Completely Clean Your Home
It should be no surprise that everything in your home collects dust, from the floor you walk on to the corners of your walls. Due to this, it’s crucial you keep your home completely clean. This, you can do by cleaning and disinfecting your home, room by room. Make sure you do a full laundry trip, cleaning your bed sheets, drapes, hand towels, etc. You should also clean your floors and dust the ceiling and walls of your home.
This might seem like a lot of work, but can be done much more easily if everyone pitches in. Of course, if you’re the only adult in the house, hiring a professional cleaning service can be a big help. Just make sure you have the budget, as cleaning services can be expensive.
Only Keep What You Love
If you’ve watched Netflix’s Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, you know how important it is to maintain a clean and tidy home. In doing so, you can follow Marie’s method of only keeping what you love. Take some time to separate your belongings into two piles: items you can live without and items you can’t.
Sell or donate any belongings you no longer need. This way, you can keep your house minimal, clean, and organized with help from your entire family. Although this may seem like a lot of work, you don’t have to do every room at all once; start with smaller rooms, such as your bedroom, and work your way around your house until you’ve cleaned everything.
There are many ways you can keep your home clean and organized following residential moving in Chicagoland. Although the process itself may seem burdensome, maintaining a clean, new home doesn’t have to be! By following this guide, from making small cleanliness changes to only keeping what you love, you can have an incredibly organized and healthy home for the entire family.

Moving Your Piano: Top Considerations to Make
The post Moving Your Piano: Top Considerations to Make appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
There are some belongings that require special consideration when moving them, and one of these is a piano. Pianos need to be moved in a special way to prevent damage that affects both the piano’s beauty and the overall quality of sound. Since your piano is such a big investment, it’s important that you know some important factors about moving this instrument, so here’s what you need to know.
Hire Professionals
Although you may feel hesitant about hiring professionals to do a job you feel like you can do yourself, it’s important to recognize that pianos are much more fragile than they look. A piano moving company in Chicagoland has the necessary training, experience, and tools to make sure your piano is safely moved.
They have experience moving pianos various distances—to a home next door, or to a home that’s located hundreds of miles away. The procedure for moving pianos varies depending on the type of piano you own, so don’t leave anything to chance by attempting to secure and move the piano yourself.
Learn Piano Details
Professional piano moving in Chicagoland can figure out all the details of your piano to know how to move it, if they have sufficient experience. But you can make the transition easier by knowing a few details about your piano before you even call the moving company. Take measurements for the height, width, and depth of your piano, and find an estimate of the piano’s weight based on whether it’s a spinet, large upright, or grand piano. These measurements will help determine what equipment and how much manpower the moving company needs to safely move your piano.
Choosing a Piano Mover
When you’re choosing a piano mover there are a number of questions you need to ask to make sure you find the best company. Ask about their process for moving your type of piano and how the piano will be protected both during the actual moving process and while it’s in transit. This is especially important if your piano will be traveling a great distance and will be in a moving truck for a few days, because humidity and temperatures can affect your piano.
If you need to store your piano while you’re in between homes, it’s a good idea to ask about storage options from the moving company or to find a climate-controlled and secure location to store the piano in the meantime.
Move Preparation
It’s a good idea to prepare both the area you’re moving the piano from and the area the piano is moving to. Remove all the extra furniture and other items from around the piano, and make sure there’s a clear path through the room, out the door, and to where the truck will be parked. You should also make sure pets and children are out of the way before the piano is actually moved to avoid any accidents.
If you’re moving your whole house along with the piano, most movers will want to move the piano first to make sure it can be against the back wall of the truck, so keep that in mind while packing and preparing for your move.
Following the Move
Once the movers have safely transported your piano to its new location, you should have the piano tuned a few times during that first year. Most pianos will detune somewhat during a major move. To ensure your piano is moved safely, call Wolley Movers Chicago today.

Preparing an Office Moving Checklist
The post Preparing an Office Moving Checklist appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
When it comes to moving your company to a new location, you know moving your employees, technology, and all your office equipment to new offices isn’t going to be an easy job. But with a solid plan, determination, and good team, you can get through it with a minimal impact on productivity. Here’s an office moving checklist to help you stay on task to get the move done seamlessly as possible.
Assemble a Planning Team
You have a lot on your plate with running your business and overseeing the move. Assemble a small team of people you can rely on to execute the move, coordinate with employees, make arrangements with the new landlord, and set up new utilities and phone services. Appoint someone on the planning team to serve as the point person to determine all the tasks you’ll need to complete.
Build a Budget
Hiring a commercial moving company won’t be your only expense. There will also be the cost of moving supplies, preparing the new office space, marketing to clients that you have a new location, and more. If your company has an in-house accountant, assign them the task of building a budget.
Get Quotes
Assign someone on the team to get quotes from moving companies. Ask around your network to see if anyone you know has recently hired a commercial moving company. A referral from an acquaintance with a good moving experience is worth its weight in gold. If no referrals come your way, read online reviews. Either way, do your research and find the best commercial moving company in Chicago based on your company’s needs and budget. As commercial moving companies are interviewed, ask what resources they have to help your team plan and execute the move.
Look into Moving Insurance
Call your insurance agent and ask if your business insurance policy will cover any mishaps from the move. If you’re not covered, ask for a quote on commercial moving insurance. This policy can help if, for example, office equipment or other technology equipment necessary for your business to operate is damaged. The insurance policy won’t only cover the replacement cost of the equipment but may cover lost revenue as well.
Pick a Moving Date
When planning is complete, lock in a moving date that will give your team the necessary time to get everything ready. Lock in this date with the new landlord and get a guarantee that the new space will be clean, painted, and ready. Clear communication with all employees is important. Let them know the date of the move and the new location. Provide the reasons for the move and let them know how the move will help the company in strategic ways.
Create a Floor Plan
Request a floor plan to scale from the new landlord and hand it off to the planning team. Ask them to assign office and cubicle spaces to employees. The commercial moving company will need the floor plan, plus information on where each employee will be located. This will help them move office furniture and moving boxes and ensure they’re put in the right place. The IT team will need the floor plan as well to set up ethernet ports, phones, and computers.
Consider Employee Access
Once the movers and IT team have set up office equipment and technology, the employees will be ready to see their new offices. You can make this a fun experience by throwing a new office welcome party. Most commercial moves take place over a weekend. This is to minimize lost productivity. This also gives employees the weekend or Monday morning to settle in. Your planning team should prearrange and distribute parking passes and security cards a day or two before the move.
By creating and following a solid plan, you can minimize issues and get your employees settled into their new offices. To learn all you need to know about successfully moving your company, call Wolley Movers Chicago at 773-761-8330.

Winter Moving: All You Should Know
The post Winter Moving: All You Should Know appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
In an ideal world, people would only ever need to move to a new home when the sun is shining and the temperatures are perfect. Unfortunately, moves sometimes need to happen at less convenient times, like in the dead of winter. There are some upsides of moving in the winter, including more availability for local moving companies in Chicagoland. If you’re moving during the winter, here are some tips to help make the process much easier.
Prepare New Home
You don’t want to move into your new home only to find that there’s no heat or power. That’s not only uncomfortable, but it can be dangerous to go without these basic utilities when the weather is cold. Make sure your utilities are in your name and turned on, and that the home is ready to move into, with no belongings from previous owners or tenants in your way.
Clear Walkways
A major reason people try to avoid moving during the winter is because of the danger from snow and ice on the roads and sidewalks. In the days leading up to your move, be sure to remove snow when it falls, before it can become packed down and turn to ice.
If the home you’re moving into is currently empty, you’ll need to make sure snow is removed there as well, or that you hire someone to make sure snow removal happens quickly. Use salt or sand after shoveling the snow to make sure there isn’t any hidden ice or other slippery areas.
Protect Floors
It’s important to protect the floors of both homes not only to prevent damage to the floors, but to keep the walkways in the house safe as well. You can find inexpensive carpet remnants to place in the high-traffic areas or use them to create walkways throughout your home so that snow and mud doesn’t get tracked throughout the house and create slippery surfaces while moving. You can also use broken-down cardboard boxes the same way.
Watch the Weather
Pay attention to the weather in the days and weeks leading up to your move. In some cases, you may be able to move the date up or back if there’s a big storm or an especially frigid cold front coming in on your scheduled day. If you’ve hired a local moving agency in Chicagoland, ask about their flexibility if you find that bad weather is expected during your move.
Protect Belongings Against Moisture
Make sure your belongings are adequately protected against moisture and extreme temperatures. Moving companies will have materials to provide this protection, but if you’re packing yourself, you may want to consider adding additional insulation to sensitive items and packing moisture-sensitive items in plastic totes and containers.
Dress in Layers
It can be difficult to know exactly how much clothing to wear when the weather is cold. But keep in mind that even though temperatures may be very cold when you start the move, you’re likely to warm up quite a bit if you’re moving around a lot and helping to move large items. Dressing in layers will ensure you’re warm, but allow you to easily cool down as needed.
Start Early
Since there are fewer daylight hours during the winter, be sure to schedule the moving company as early in the day as possible. This will ensure the job gets done without having to work with less light. Contact Wolley Movers Chicago today to schedule your move.

Planning a Big Move: Top Home Improvement Tips to Consider
The post Planning a Big Move: Top Home Improvement Tips to Consider appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
Moving is a stressful process. And while you may be tempted to load up your boxes, clean up after yourself, and move on to your next address, there’s an important step that’s just as vital to your move: home improvement.
Nearly every real estate expert would recommend that you invest in some home improvement before selling your current property. Home improvement covers up flaws, offers better seller satisfaction after a deal is made, and even increases your chances of selling at a high price — like your original asking price.
Here’s a simple set of home improvement task tips for any homeowner looking to change addresses.
Exterior First
Improve the exterior to increase your home’s curb appeal or the first impression it gives to cars and pedestrians from street level. This first impression often seals a decision of whether or not to buy a property. Curb appeal is really that important! Clean up your landscaping and ensure it’s as green as possible.
Check your roof, siding, gutters, and window frames for signs of damage. Repaint the exterior or invest in small touch-ups. Then, repair or replace degradable materials like metal railing and lanterns.
Evaluate Utilities
Utilities must be in good condition before you move out. Hire experts to inspect your plumbing, heating and cooling systems, electrical wiring, and gas lines. While you don’t necessarily have to invest in new appliances or unnecessary upgrades like a water softener system, repairing any issues like leaks can increase your chances of making a quick sale.
This may sound costly, but you can make up these costs by turning to affordable residential moving services to handle your move from start-to-finish.
Paint the Common Rooms
A fresh coat of paint is one of the most important features you need when you stage your home for a sale. Not only does paint simply look newer and cleaner, but it also covers up flaws like drywall repair or dents. It also helps cover up scuff marks and stains that make your home feel more lived-in. While homebuyers will be informed in advance that your property had a previous resident, it’s important to create an illusion of newness. This makes your home seem more marketable.
Paint the living room, kitchen, and foyer, as well as any rooms with damaged or outdated paint. Don’t forget the trim, molding, and baseboards. Stick to neutral colors like gray, beige, and white. While you may not necessarily like neutrals in your home, more bold color choices can put off choosy buyers. Neutrals are across-the-board attractive. Don’t worry about painting before you move. Professional residential moving teams will work carefully and use protective materials to prevent damage of any kind, like scratches or scuff marks.
If this sounds like a great deal of work for your home, then you’re right. However, all of this preparation can help increase your chances of selling your home quickly and at a great price. So what can you do to alleviate some of the stress associated with your move? Get in touch with the best residential moving services near you.

Quick Tips to Make Your Corporate Relocation Easier
The post Quick Tips to Make Your Corporate Relocation Easier appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
Are you moving to a new office space? Although it can seem like an intimidating process, a corporate relocation can be smooth for you and your staff. Below are a few tips to help you make a smooth transition, from keeping your staff in the loop to hiring a company offering affordable commercial moving in Chicagoland. Get started today by sitting down with your staff and discussing the upcoming relocation.
Keep Your Staff in the Loop
It’s a lot easier for your staff if your corporate relocation is within the city or town you currently reside in. However, if you’re looking at an out-of-state commercial move, it’s best to sit down and speak to your staff about the reason for the relocation and address any concerns that arise. Once your team is in the loop, you can move forward with the relocation process by hiring local commercial movers.
Meet with Your Moving Contractors
Meeting your moving contractors in-person can help ensure there are no problems during the corporate relocation process. You can exchange information, such as the items you need to be moved with higher priority, the location where you’re moving to, as well as the day(s) you would like the move to be done. Also, you’ll likely need to give the movers a code to your office or a key so that they can have access to your commercial space. If you have any questions about the moving process, this is a great time to speak to your contractors. However, once you’re ready to start your move, you should start packing up your office.
Carefully Pack up the Office
You mustn’t rush the packing process in your office. The last thing you want to do is accidentally break something essential. Instead, make sure to set aside a few hours in the workday to dedicate to packing for your corporate move. While packing, you should also mark boxes as delicate if it holds fragile items, such as desktop monitors. You should set your boxes aside in a dedicated space in your office, so your movers know precisely what they need to move.
Help Your Employees Pack
If you notice some of your employees taking a longer time to pack than others, give them a lending hand. Particularly, if you’re on a tight schedule moving into your new office, helping out your staff can help your team move on time. You should also consider having your employees pack in groups, this way it won’t seem like a boring, burdensome task, and everyone can work on supporting each other.
Be Clear About the Moving Destination
You must be clear about your moving destination with your movers. The last thing you want is all your office belongings sent to the wrong commercial space. Make sure to include the street address, city, zip code, and office number. You should also offer a few different methods of communication to ensure your movers can get in touch with you at all times. Being specific about your moving destination might seem a little extra, but it can be the difference between a successful move and an easily avoidable disaster.
There are a few quick tips to keep in mind to make your corporate relocation easier than ever! Hopefully, you can start using this guide today to help your next office move be a little more successful. Once you’re ready to start looking for affordable commercial moving in Chicagoland, reach out to Wolley Movers Chicago at 773-761-8330!

Your Complete Guide to Packing for a Move
The post Your Complete Guide to Packing for a Move appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
Moving homes is a stressful time, regardless of whether the move is large or small. There are so many factors to consider besides the actual move that it makes sense to find a way to focus on the other tasks like changing utility billing, forwarding your mail, cleaning, and getting settled in at the new location. Local moving companies in Chicagoland can help you focus on those aspects of moving by handling the packing and moving. However, there are some ways you can simplify the packing and moving process even more. Here are a few things to remember.
Schedule a Moving Date
One of the first things you should consider is when the actual move will take place. Most people have a little leeway in moving out of their old place and into a new one, which sometimes results in procrastinating and moving at the last possible moment. If you have the luxury of choosing between a few days, be sure to set a date so that you’re not scrambling to pack and move the last minute. If possible, choose a moving date a few days after you have access to your new home. This will make it easier for all your belongings to be moved into a home that’s clean and ready. It’s also good if you can plan to move out a few days before you have to be out so that you have time to clean the old place and make any necessary repairs.
Hire a Moving Company
Hiring a moving company will be well worth your money. You can choose a company that will do all the packing for you or just have the actual moving done. When you’re looking for a good company, look for one that knows your area well, and that has a few years of experience under their belt. This ensures efficient and safe packing and moving so that you’re not left with damaged furniture and belongings.
Donate Unnecessary Items
Moving is a great time to de-clutter and get rid of items that are no longer necessary. Some items may need to go in the trash, but other things can be sold in the classifieds or donated to a charity. Getting rid of all the extra stuff will make packing and moving much easier.
Make a Packing List
Once you’re left with the belongings you intend to keep, make a list of things you’ll need to keep out of boxes and items that can be packed away for a while. This is especially important if you plan on using a storage unit in between homes or if you’re moving a long distance and won’t have access to your things for a few days. Staying organized will make the moving process much easier.
Packing Materials
If you’ve opted to pack up your belongings yourself, make sure you have the right packing materials on hand. There are special boxes and cushioning materials that will make hard-to-pack items like wardrobe and TV boxes much easier to pack and move. Moving companies usually have these materials available for purchase.
Consider Special Items
If you have items that need special consideration when you’re moving, be sure to tell the movers about those things. Local moving services in Chicagoland specialize in moving pianos, electronics, antiques, and artwork so that you don’t have to worry about them being damaged during the move. To get a quote or schedule your move, call Wolley Movers Chicago today.

How to settle after moving to Arlington Heights
The post How to settle after moving to Arlington Heights appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
After every relocation comes the time for making your new place a home. This doesn’t only include taking care of the interior design. No, this also means that you have to get settled in your new town and start feeling at home. Feeling like an outsider isn’t a pleasant feeling. So, you should do your best to explore your new town, make friends and get involved in different activities. Once your Arlington Heights movers are gone and your boxes are unpacked, the move is officially over. Now it’s time to settle after moving to Arlington Heights and make it your home. Here is how you can do that.
Meet your new neighbors
It’s difficult to feel at home in a place where you don’t know anyone. Meeting new people is one of the great things about moving to a new town. You get the opportunity to make new friends and find people you connect with. If this seems overwhelming, you can start by meeting your neighbors. Neighbors should know each other and be civil with each other, so this is common courtesy. Meeting your neighbors is the first step to settling in Arlington Heights.
Make the first move and say hi to your neighbors to settle after moving to Arlington Heights.
Ways to meet your neighbors
Be the first one to say hello. Break the ice and introduce yourself to your neighbors. This way, your neighbors will see that you’re willing to make friends and be a part of the community.
Spend some time outside and greet the neighbors that pass by. Smile at them, say hello and start a conversation. Of course, the conversation doesn’t have to be deep and meaningful. Small talk, a chat about your relocation and experiences with moving companies in Illinois will do. But, don’t expect to meet people if you’re cooped up in your house. If you want to settle after a move to Arlington Heights, you need to be proactive. You might even get invited to a fun neighborhood event!
A good way to start a conversation with your neighbors is by asking them for help. You can ask them for advice or recommendations, borrow tools from them or ask them to help you unpack.
If you like to have fun and be a host, throw a housewarming party. Invite all of your neighbors and show them that you are a good addition to the neighborhood. So, make some food, play some music and get to know each other in a fun setting.
Get to know your surroundings to settle after moving to Arlington Heights
It’s time to explore your new town. Get on your bike or your feet and go out.
When you’re new to town, there are lots of things to explore. This is probably the most exciting part of settling after relocating to Arlington Heights. You get to wander around town and see what there is to do. Also, your neighbors can recommend you places they love or even show you around. That’s another great way to become friendly with neighbors. Your first step can be finding the basics – the supermarket, the pharmacy, schools, parks, restaurants, etc. By finding out where everything is, you’ll instantly feel more comfortable in your new home. A good thing to do is ask people for directions instead of staring at the map on your phone. That way you might meet some more friendly people. So, forget about moving boxes and go outside and explore.
Find a hobby or revive an old one
Whether it’s painting or running, find a hobby and join a group to settle after moving to Arlington Heights.
Just because you’re leaving your old home behind doesn’t mean you have to forget about your hobbies. In fact, hobbies are a great way to meet new people, have fun and feel included. If you used to have a hobby in your previous town, you can revive it here! Whether that was a sport or something more creative, research the opportunities in Arlington and find something you’d enjoy doing. Become a part of a group and it will be easier for you to settle in Arlington Heights after the move. A hobby will make you feel like you belong and you’ll get to do something you enjoy. You can also find new hobbies and find out what you like and what you don’t like. Try using a website like Meetup to find a group that’s doing something interesting in your local area.
What to do in Arlington Heights to settle after moving
Wandering around town is a fun way to get to know your town, but it’s nice to have an idea of what you can visit. If you’ve moved to Arlington Heights and you want to settle, here are some places you could pay a visit to.
Arlington Heights Park District This is one of the largest and oldest park districts in the Chicago metropolitan area. Here you can find six outdoor pools, one indoor pool and two golf clubs. So, you can check out this district and find some fun activities. There are many parks you can take a walk in, just look them up online.
Lake Arlington If you like fishing or paddling along the lake, you might want to check out Lake Arlington. Why not spend some time outside when the weather allows it?
Arlington Heights Historical Museum If you like to go to museums, this is a good option for you. This museum offers a collection of vintage and replica homes, but there are also some events that take place here throughout the year.
In conclusion, if you’re moving to Illinois, you shouldn’t be nervous about making it your home. There are plenty of easy ways to settle after moving to Arlington Heights and feel like you belong.

How to pack musical instruments for moving
The post How to pack musical instruments for moving appeared first on Wolley Movers Chicago.
The items that will definitely remain in place in the moving truck are sofa, living room items, books, and clothes. These items will safely arrive at your new location. You won’t have to worry, especially if you hire one of the moving companies in Chicago to assist you with your relocation. But this is not the case with your musical instruments! These items are fragile and can get damaged easily. Therefore, you should know how to pack musical instruments for moving. We have prepared a guide just for you!
How to Pack Musical Instruments Properly?
Musical instruments are very fragile and they can easily be destroyed if they suffer falling, shaking or extreme temperature changes. Writing “fragile” on the box after you close it up won’t be enough. You will also have to take all the necessary steps if you want to protect your musical instruments. However, hiring one of the moving companies Arlington Heights IL is highly recommended. Professional packers will pack musical instruments and relocate them safely. If you want to be sure that you have packed your musical instruments properly, you should follow these steps and pack each of these instruments safely:
Piano and Organs
String Instruments – Cellos, Violins, etc.
Woodwind Instruments and Brass
Drums
Pianos and Organs
Almost every professional moving company nowadays train their employees for packing and safely relocating these kinds of instruments. Every experienced and professional moving company has a piano moving service in their portfolio. However, if you want to be sure that your pianos and organs are safe, you can take some steps to prepare them for the move:
Remove music stand, or/and any other removable parts.
Close the keyboard cover and lock it down if that is possible.
You can also put some extra wrappers on the pedals and legs.
Your professional mover will provide all packing supplies. However, you can prepare some extra blankets and towels if you wish.
Protect your piano! Close the keyboard cover and lock it down if it’s possible.
String Instruments – Cellos, Violins, etc.
Instruments such as guitars, harps, and cellos, require extra care when packing. All strings must be loosened. If the instrument has adjustment keys, they all should be turned and in the parallel with the headstock. If you have a hard case, put the instrument inside and then add crumpled paper, especially around the headstock. Packing peanuts can get inside of some stringed instruments so you should avoid them. If you don’t have a hard case, you will have to wrap the whole instrument in plastic. Seal it with packing tape and use bubble wrapping. This will prevent any possibility of water entering the instrument.
  You will need a lot of packing peanuts to fill the empty space of the box around the instrument. You should shake the box gently from time to time to check if there are any movements. If there are, open the box and add more packing peanuts and crumpled paper to ensure greater stability. After the relocation, you will have a lot of packing peanuts to recycle. Therefore, you should know how to remove packing peanuts without making a mess! String instruments are sensitive and that makes them very difficult to move. You should follow these steps if you want to prevent deformations and cracking on your musical instruments:
Loosen the strings lightly
Loosen the bow hairs too
All setting keys should be turned in the parallel to the headstock
Add some extra padding for protection
Buy heavy cases if you don’t have any
Lightly loosen the strings on your guitar before you place it in the moving box.
 Pack Musical Instruments – Woodwind Instruments and Brass
Woodwind instruments and brass should be completely disassembled before packing. It would be perfect to pack them in a hard case. If you don’t have a hard case you should buy some. The moving box should be big enough so the instrument and a few inches of protection can fit inside. Use bubble wrapping to protect the instrument and fill the box with inflatable pillows, towels and packing peanuts to prevent the instrument from moving.
But, since the moving process takes time and stresses us out, you should know how to avoid moving injuries, too! Prepare in advance, get proper clothes, don’t skip meals and drink a lot of water, especially if you are moving during one of the hot summer days!
Drums
The box for the drums should be at least 2-4 inches bigger than the drum so you will have space to put some protection around the instrument. You should contact your local music store and ask them if they have some heavy boxes available. First of all, you will have to remove the rims and heads. After that, you will have to insert the drums, placing one inside the other. Get a plastic bag and pack tension rods and other small parts inside. Protect legs and spurs with bubble wrapping. Before you place the drums inside of the moving box, you should add a layer of packing peanuts!
Insert drums in the moving box, placing one inside the other.
Other Important Things To Know
Before using your string and woodwind instruments again after the move, you should give them 24 hours. If you need to store some of your musical instruments temporarily, you should choose a climate-controlled storage unit. You should contact your professional mover in advance and ask for their storage services. If you have heavy musical instruments such as piano or organ, you should hire a professional moving company to assist you with the relocation. Trying to carry, lift or move these musical instruments can cause serious damage to your back, neck or limbs.
These are the things that you should know in order to pack musical instruments properly. However, it’ always better to hire a professional mover to pack and relocate your musical instruments fast and safely. Have a good move!
