Settling in after your big move

After S.B. Taylor Transport has provided you with an excellent moving service, follow these steps to get settled in your new space smoothly:




  1. Update Your Address: Update your address with relevant parties, including banks, utilities, subscriptions, and the post office. Ensure that your new address is set up to receive mail and packages.
  2. Set Up Utilities and Services: If you haven't already, arrange for utilities and services such as electricity, gas, water, internet, and cable to be connected. Check that everything is in working order.
  3. Clean: Before unpacking, give your new home a thorough cleaning. Even if it was cleaned before you arrived, it's always a good idea to do it yourself.
  4. Safety First: Check the safety features in your new home, such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure they are in good working order.
  5. Inspect Your Belongings: Ensure that all your belongings arrive safely. Unpack fragile items with care and check for damage. If you notice any issues, contact S.B. Taylor Transport immediately.
  6. Unpack Essentials First: Start by unpacking the essentials box you prepared. This should contain items you'll need immediately, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and basic kitchen items.
  7. Room by Room: Unpack one room at a time. Begin with the most important rooms, such as the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. This will help you establish a sense of order and functionality in your new home.
  8. Furniture Placement: Plan the layout of your furniture in each room. Experiment with different arrangements until you find what works best for your space.
  9. Decorate and Personalize: Add personal touches to make your new space feel like home. Hang up artwork, put out family photos, and add decorative elements that reflect your style and personality.
  10. Explore the Neighborhood: Take some time to explore your new neighborhood. Find out where the nearest grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and other amenities are located.
  11. Meet Your Neighbors: Introduce yourself to your new neighbors. Building good relationships with those around you can make your new environment feel more welcoming.
  12. Relax and Enjoy: Moving can be stressful but try to take some time to relax and enjoy your new space. To celebrate your new home, have a housewarming party or a quiet night in.



By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition and settle into your new space after S.B. Taylor Transport has provided you with excellent moving services.
