🏡 How to Make Moving an Easy, Stress-Free Experience
By Speedy Hauling and Junk Removal — Serving Tampa, Westchase & Surrounding Areas
Moving can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right plan—and a bit of help from your local pros—you can make the process smooth and even enjoyable.
At Speedy Hauling and Junk Removal, we help Tampa residents reduce stress before, during, and after their move. Below are 14 proven tips to keep your move organized and junk-free from start to finish.
✅ 6 Steps to Prepare for Moving Day
1. Start Decluttering Early
The earlier you start, the less you’ll stress. Begin purging items before your home hits the market. Not only will this help your move, but a clean space shows better to buyers too.
2. Schedule Time by Room
Spend 2–3 hours decluttering per room, and don’t forget garages, sheds, and patios. Outdoor clutter often gets left to the last minute.
3. Clear Out Closets
Haven’t worn it in a year? Donate or junk it. Organize what you keep by season or purpose for an easier transition at your new place.
4. Tackle Storage Rooms & Attics
If it’s been sitting in a box for years, don’t bring it to your new home. Sell, donate, or call us to haul it away.
5. Ditch Bulky Items Now
Moving costs are based on weight and space. If your old couch or broken dresser won’t make the cut, save time and money by getting rid of them now.
6. Call Speedy Hauling for a Pickup
We offer quick junk removal for pre-move purges. Don’t let trash slow you down—let us handle it.
🚛 4 Tips for a Smooth Moving Day
1. Choose the Right Day
Avoid tight schedules. Weekends work best—and take an extra day off if you can to unpack and reset.
2. Do a Final Walk-Through
After the truck’s loaded, check each room one last time. Set aside anything forgotten—or junk anything you don’t want to bring.
3. Reassess Furniture
If you’ve kept certain furniture for comfort until now, reevaluate if it still belongs in your new home. It’s okay to say goodbye last minute—just don’t pay movers to haul junk.
4. Keep Junk Removal On Standby
Our same-day pickups in Westchase and Tampa can be a lifesaver when you realize you’ve still got piles left behind.
🏠 4 Ways to Keep Your New Home Organized
1. Sort What the Previous Owner Left
From leftover tools to old rugs—don’t keep it if it doesn’t serve you. If they didn’t take it, you don’t have to either.
2. Unpack Room by Room
Stay organized and reduce duplicate clutter by unpacking one space at a time.
3. Purge Misfits
Items that don’t match your new space—whether they’re too big or off-style—should be donated or removed.
4. Schedule a Post-Move Pickup
Don’t let piles sit for weeks. Call Speedy Hauling and we’ll swing by to collect your unwanted items—fast.
