Moving Day
There will be some necessary paperwork on moving day. The High-Value Inventory Form will need to be signed and you can state whether or not items of extraordinary value are included. The Bill of Lading/Freight Bill states terms and conditions and is your receipt for the shipment.
While we take pride in doing most of the moving work for you, it’s important that you’re present on moving day. A final walk-thru is an essential last step to ensure nothing is missed. We encourage you to check every room, closet, cabinet, drawer, crawl space, attic, outdoor deck and shed. We don’t want anyone or anything left behind. Also make sure you’ve turned off all power, gas and water and contacted utilities to be transferred to new owners.
Before Your Move

Here are a few reminders of tasks to take care of days, weeks, and months before moving day:

  • Determine what you want to keep, sell, or give away – have a garage sale if necessary.
  • Notify utilities and service providers, the postal service, and any other subscriptions that you will be changing your address.
  • Contact Dearman– get an in-home estimate, ask about our personalized move planner, and communicate your needs to us. Plan your move with us well in advance so we can determine the appropriate budget and strategy.
  • Arrange plans to say farewell to any friends and family. Have a going-away party or visit some places that you will miss when you move.
  • Confirm your travel plans. Plan a smooth transition into your new home.
  • Prepare your household for the big day. Dispose of flammable items, drain fuel from machinery, discard non-allowable, prepare major appliances for shipment and have your utilities disconnected.
