Besides the fact that your house will eventually begin to experience some wear and tear, there is another thing that may cause your home to gain some significant damage – that’s moving day. That’s right – they day you move in may be the very day you wish you could move right back out.
You probably haven’t thought about it, but there are so many damages that can occur on the day of your move. We’re going to show you just how you should protect your new home from possible damages which may occur.
- Pay careful mind to protect your wooden floors that are in high-traffic areas. Get a custom-cut cardboard shape to fit on the floor and ensure that the edges are secure so that they don’t slip and cause people to fall.
- If your high-traffic area is carpeted, you should lay out a packing blanket and secure the edges as well. Ensure that you sweep the walkways and spread a packing blanket outside the door entry to prevent shoes from tracking dirt or water on your carpets.
- Prevent wall gouges by predicting the areas that will most likely get damaged and protect those areas by covering them with a blanket or by placing temporary corner guards on the outside corners of the predicted spots.
- Consider removing the handrails or covering the banisters with a blanket so that you can guard them from the likely collisions that will occur when you’re moving furniture.
- You may even remove the outside door and various interior doors which may experience damages.
