Moving Tips

Reserve your move.

If moving with #1 BIG HOUSE Movers, reserve your move online or by calling 1-224-383-7214.



Notify utility services.

Call these departments at your current and future locations to cancel, transfer or set up new service:

  • Electric

  • Water

  • Gas

  • Cell phone

  • Cable/satellite, internet and landline phone

  • Sewer

  • Trash collection



Update address.

​File a change of address with the Postal Service, or ask them to hold your mail at the post office in your new city. Notify friends and family of your new address so you can stay in touch.



Prepare appliances.

Drain gas and oil from lawn equipment, gas grills, heaters, etc., and empty and defrost the refrigerator/freezer at least 24 hours before the move.



Pack for travel.

Bring enough clothes and toiletries to cover the days you’ll travel as well as the first days in your new home. Don’t forget to refill prescriptions and bring them with you, too.
