❄️ Winter Moving Best Practices
1. Let delicate items acclimate
Never open boxes containing electronics or wood pieces immediately after bringing them into a warm house.
2. Wrap items to prevent moisture damage
Use insulated blankets, bubble wrap, and sealed bins.
3. Avoid leaving boxes on icy ground
Use raised pallets or load quickly.
4. Move early in the day
Sun Valley mornings are clearer and roads are more predictable.
