For years now, our award-winning professional moving company in Toronto has been delivering the best moving services to help you relocate within Ontario and across the border efficiently. Our full-service movers at Lewis Abbeywood have created a printable moving checklist with the expert moving tips you need to help you be fully prepared for your moving day.

Two Months Before Moving Day

Book your move with our full-service Toronto moving company before our calendar fills up. For larger relocations or commercial moves, the sooner you schedule your moving day, the better we can accommodate your preferred date preference. Contact one of our customer support representatives to customize your moving plan to adjust to your budget, deadlines, and moving services required, such as moving labour, transportation, packing services, or storage options.

Get Your Move Organized!

Create a file with your moving details, documents, receipts, and more.
Start eating frozen food or condiments that you do not want to take with you.
Create an inventory list, separated by categories, for all your belongings. These categories
should include items to keep, throw away, or donate before your move.
Make a list of all the people and organizations you need to notify about your upcoming
relocation and change of address. This list should include friends, employers, creditors,
subscriptions, etc.
Make necessary preparations for storage, if needed. Our storage facility in Toronto has a
variety of storage options to select from.
Gather all of your personal records, including finances, the house deed, insurance, medical
records, legal documents, school records, stocks, vehicle registration, wills, and other
important papers. Place these documents in a secure and easily accessible bag or box.

Five Weeks Before Moving
