Top 5 Expert Tips for a Smooth, Stress-Free Move | Armbruster Moving & Storage
Whether you're moving locally in Cleveland or relocating across the country, the process can feel overwhelming. At Armbruster Moving & Storage, we’ve helped families and businesses move efficiently since 2001. With decades of experience under our belts, we’re sharing our top 5 moving tips to help make your next move seamless and stress-free.
1. Start Planning Your Move Early
The sooner you begin planning, the better. Create a moving checklist that breaks down your tasks by week: everything from collecting packing supplies to forwarding your mail. Starting early reduces last-minute stress and ensures you're fully prepared for moving day.

2. Declutter Before You Pack
Take time to go through each room and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or toss. The less you pack, the more time and money you save. Plus, starting fresh in your new space feels great when you're not surrounded by clutter.
Pro Tip: Host a garage sale or list items on Facebook Marketplace before moving day.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Cheap boxes and flimsy tape can lead to broken items and frustration. Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and strong tape. Be sure to label each box with both contents and destination room for easier unpacking.
Looking for supplies? Ask us about our professional packing services.
4. Pack an Essentials Box
You won’t want to dig through boxes for your toothbrush on your first night. Pack a "Day One" essentials box with toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, basic kitchen supplies, and any important paperwork you’ll need right away.
Pro Tip: Keep this box with you instead of loading it onto the truck.
5. Hire a Trusted Cleveland Moving Company
