Fall in Raleigh isn’t just about the breathtaking foliage or the crisp air; it’s also an ideal time to relocate. Moving in the autumn can be a rewarding experience with the right preparation and approach. At Neighbor Moving, we’ve had the pleasure of assisting hundreds in their fall transitions. Here are some expert tips to guarantee a seamless move this season:

Benefits of Moving in the Fall: Unlike the sweltering summer or busy spring, fall offers a more relaxed atmosphere to move. There’s less demand, which often translates to more availability and flexible scheduling for your move.
Dress in Layers: Raleigh’s autumn can be unpredictable. It might start chilly in the morning and warm up by noon. Wear comfortable, breathable layers to easily adjust to the day’s changing temperatures.
Protect Your Belongings from Moisture: Fall can sometimes bring unexpected rain showers. Ensure that your items, especially electronics and valuables, are wrapped and protected from potential dampness.
Use Fall’s Natural Beauty: Instead of bubble wrap or paper, use fallen leaves to cushion delicate items. It’s eco-friendly and adds a touch of fall to your packing!
Check Your New Home’s Heating: Before the winter chill sets in, ensure the heating system in your new place is working correctly. Test it out a few days before your move.
Daylight Savings: Remember, the days get shorter in the fall. Plan your move to maximize daylight, aiming to start early in the day.
Hire a Trusted Moving Company: Neighbor Moving isn’t just any moving company in Raleigh. We’re a social enterprise dedicated to creating jobs with living wages for our community members. With a 5-star rating on Google, rest assured that you’re getting the best service.

Safety First: Autumn leaves, though beautiful, can be slippery when wet. Ensure walkways and driveways are clear of leaves to prevent accidents during the move.
Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Even if the weather is cooler, moving is hard work! Keep snacks and water handy to stay energized.
