We know that there are many different stresses when preparing for a move. Because of this, you want to ensure that you hire the right residential movers to meet your needs. With all of the various items around your home to pack, we know how overwhelmed you may feel—especially when you take a look at everything that’s piled up in your garage.

In this blog, we’ll share a few tips and tricks to help you properly organize, and move everything out of your garage. But, before we share our tips and tricks, we thought you might want to know a little more about us.

Since 1883, Westheimer Transfer & Storage has been Texas’s most trusted moving and storage company. We're proud to offer a wide range of solutions that leave our customers satisfied time and time again.

Automobiles

We assume that you have one of these in your garage. If so, it’s essential to ensure you’re handling it correctly—especially if you have a classic car. Talk with your moving company if you have a vehicle that can't be driven. Most movers will also have access to a trailer that they can use to tow your car.

Motorcycles

If you have a motorcycle, you know how fragile it is and how easily it can tip over. Because of this, consider the following precautions.

  • Tie Down Straps

  • Large Shipping Crates

Grills

Ensure your grill has been properly cleaned before packing it in the moving truck. If you have a gas grill, remove the propane tank. Propane tanks will not be allowed in moving trucks due to the risk of explosion.

Paints and Flammable Liquids

Now is a great time to get rid of those old paints and flammable liquids that you've been holding on to for too long. If you check with your local government, you’ll be guided to a place where you can safely dispose of these items.

Lawncare and Landscaping Items

Even if you still need lawn equipment, sometimes getting new ones is just what you need to start refreshed in your new home. Consider selling your old equipment and upgrading to something newer.

Tools

If you have a toolbox, organize all of your tools in this container. Keep lock or tighten the toolbox doors securely so they don't swing open. And, if your toolbox has wheels, ensure that they're put in a closed position to keep the box from sliding around in the truck.
