Preparing for a Winter Move in New England

Preparing for a Winter Move in New England

Moving to Needham or Belmont in January? Moving in the snow requires a different level of logistics. Don't let a blizzard ruin your move-in day.

Winter Logistics Checklist

Keep the Utilities On: Ensure heat and electricity are active 24 hours before you arrive. Salt the Walkways: Protect your movers and your furniture from ice. Protect Your Floors*: Winter slush will ruin hardwood floors. Use heavy-duty floor protectors.

The Upside of a Winter Move

Moving companies are often less busy and more affordable in the winter. You might also find that you have more negotiating power with sellers who don't want to wait until spring.
