Planning a Summer Move? Here’s What You Need to Know (and Pack)

Moving Supplies
Moving during the summer? You’re not alone.

Summer is the most popular time of year to move — school’s out, the weather’s nicer, and real estate activity is at its peak. But that also means it can be hectic, exhausting, and overwhelming if you’re not properly prepared.

If you're getting ready to move this summer — whether you're relocating across town or helping a client do the same — here's what you should keep in mind to make the process smoother, faster, and way less stressful.


☀️ Why Moving During Summer Is Different

While summer is a great time to move, it comes with its own set of challenges:

  • Heat and humidity make packing, lifting, and driving more draining

  • Busy schedules (vacations, work, kids out of school) add extra pressure

  • Demand for moving services and supplies is higher, which means limited availability

Planning ahead is key — and that starts with having the right packing and moving supplies in hand before moving day arrives.


✅ Must-Have Supplies for a Smooth Summer Move

You don’t want to be scrambling for tape or running out of boxes mid-pack. That’s where a solid moving supply checklist can save you hours of stress.

Here’s what we recommend for every move — big or small:


📦 Moving Kits

Instead of guessing what you need, start with a pre-packed Moving Kit. Our kits include:

  • Sturdy boxes in multiple sizes

  • Bubble wrap & packing paper

  • Strong packing tape

  • Labels & markers

  • Optional extras like poly-foam or biodegradable peanuts

Whether you're packing a one-bedroom apartment or a large home, a Moving Kit simplifies the process and helps you stay organized.



🧥 Wardrobe Boxes for Moving

Perfect for transporting your clothes without folding or wrinkling them. Just take them from your closet, hang them in the box, and you're good to go.


🛏️ Moving Blankets

Protect furniture from scratches, dents, and dust — especially important if it’s being loaded onto a hot truck or going into temporary storage.


🛞 Carpeted Dollies for Moving

Moving heavy furniture or stacks of boxes? A dolly is your best friend. Reduce strain and avoid dragging things across floors (especially in hot weather when tempers rise fast).


🔄 Stretch Wrap, Foam Sheets & More

Ideal for securing drawers, wrapping fragile furniture, or padding corners during transport.


🧠 Tips for Moving in the Summer Heat

  1. Start early in the day when it’s cooler

  2. Stay hydrated — have water on hand for everyone involved

  3. Pack heat-sensitive items carefully (candles, electronics, etc.)

  4. Don’t rush — heat and fatigue can cause accidents

  5. Use breathable packing materials for items that might be sensitive to moisture
