Wing It
Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can just wing it the week of, or worse – the day of – the move. A lot of time and preparation needs to go into your move to make moving day run seamlessly, and waiting until the last minute to map out a plan will only confuse things. Get recommendations from friends, quote moving companies and do your due diligence before moving day.

Moving Insurance
Don’t forget moving insurance. It is possible for items to get damaged during the move, and you will regret it if something breaks but you didn’t get insurance. Isaac’s offers different options for local/long distance and international to insure your belongings. Isaacs Moving provide basic insurance coverage for loss or damage to your goods.
Valuables
We recommend you transport valuables like fine jewelry or family heirlooms, yourself in your own vehicle so you know exactly where they are throughout the move. As a luxury moving service, however, Isaac’s Moving and Storage is also a specialty packing service, which includes special items like pianos and artwork.
Taking Inventory
It would be a mistake not to check inventory, since you want to be sure nothing was left behind. By taking inventory and checking it twice, you can rest assure everything in your moving boxes is accounted for. Do it the day you move in to your new home so you know every item of your belongings made it safe and sound.
First Night Survival Kit
You’re feeling good about the move, and you’re finally in the new house. But where are your pajamas? Many people forget to pack a bag you of belongings you will need for the first night or so, before you dig into unpacking your plethora of boxes. You will need some necessities like toothpaste, medicine, pet food, linens, etc. to get you through the first few days without having to scour through your boxes to find what you need.
