Whether you’re moving long-distance or just across town, anybody who has ever moved knows how important it is to properly pack and organize your belongings. Ensuring that your possessions are organized and packed well will ensure safe transport and a simpler unpacking process. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you know that Camelot Moving and Storage, based in Santa Clarita, offers full and partial </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/packing-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">packing and unpacking services</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in addition to our moving services? Consider the advantages of opting for professional packing services: </span></p>
<h2><b>More</b> Time</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Packing your entire home yourself can take over 4 weeks, even if you pack 4 to 5 boxes each evening. A family of young ones and/or a short window of time before moving day can add additional pressure to the chore of self-packing. By taking advantage of your moving company’s </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">packing services</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you’ll lose the headache and gain the time and energy to keep up with the other demands of life.</span></p>
<h2><b>Less Damage</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every member of our packing crews have completed our rigorous training program to learn the art of packing: choosing the right sized box, utilizing the best padding material for each item, and ensuring the protection of fragile items. As a result, a professional packing crew ensures that your home is packed and prepared for safe transport to your new home, bringing you peace of mind.</span></p>
<h2><b>High-Quality Packing Materials</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most cardboard boxes can be re-used a few times before losing integrity, there is a benefit to sticking with boxes designed for moving home goods between homes. Their stronger and uniform structure allows the moving crew to move a stack of boxes at a time while making the most of the space in the moving van. With that in mind, your packing crew will be sure to utilize only high-quality packing materials, the best to protect your belongings during transport.</span></p>
<h2><b>Personalized for You</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fragile and antique items, by nature, demand greater time and attention to pack than clothing and linens. You may find that hiring a partial packing service is the best option for your schedule. Hire a professional packing crew to pack up the kitchen, china cabinet, stemware, lamps, artwork, and TVs while you handle the garage and linen closet. Camelot Moving and Storage is ready to help in the best way possible to relieve stress, provide an affordable packing service, and help you arrive in your new home stress-free!</span></p>
<h2><b>Santa Clarita, CA, Packing Services</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelot Moving &amp; Storage is a Santa Clarita, CA, moving company that also offers professional packing services. When you hire us for a move, you can choose to pack yourself (Be sure to check out our packing tutorials!), purchase packing supplies from us, and/or hire our crew for partial or full packing services.</span></p>

For many people, it is this last chore of packing that is the most stressful part of a </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/long-distance-moves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">long-distance move</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, as it seems time consuming, stressful, and tedious. But it doesn’t have to be. Follow some of these time-tested tips and guidelines to successfully meet the challenges of any move, local or long distance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking for a trusted moving company in California? We can help.</span></p>
<a href="http://camelotmovers.com/contact-us/" class="shortcode button yellow large  " target="http://camelotmovers.com/contact-us/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Request a quote</a>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelot Moving and Storage, based in Santa Clarita, CA, is a professional </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/packing-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">long-distance moving company</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that has decades of experience helping people across the country plan and pack for their long-distance move. We offer a truly unique long-distance moving service. We do not work with van lines or larger chains. Rather, we maintain complete control over your shipment until it is delivered to your home or office. Your belongings will be in our experienced hands from beginning to end.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some tips for packing and organizing a long-distance move, i.e., one over 100 miles.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><b>Downsize Your Belongings</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A long-distance move provides a great opportunity to decide which possessions are really important to you. Most </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/about-us-2/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">long-distance moving companies</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> will base their rates on the volume of goods being transported and the distance over which they are being transported. Therefore, decreasing your moving volume will lower your moving bill. What a motivation to declutter and purge! You’ll arrive with only the items you truly need/love, ready for a fresh start in your new home. Here are some tips on what to do with the items that are not going with you:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have a garage sale or sell possessions online to make some extra cash</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Donate items to a charity</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Give furniture and appliances to friends and family</span></li>
</ul>
<h2>Use Professional Packing Supplies</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Long-distance travel with longer hours, higher speeds, and more miles puts extra demand on the items being transported. However, with proper packing and preparation your items will arrive safely and undamaged. An important ingredient to their safe arrival is the use of high-quality moving-specific supplies. For local moves, reusing boxes from home deliveries such as Amazon or Chewy boxes will work, but for long-distance moves you’ll want to utilize industry-specific supplies:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moving boxes</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Packing paper and/or bubble wrap to protect your fragile belongings</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">High-quality packing tape</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelot Moving and Storage offers professional packing services for both local and long-distance moves. If you wish to pack your items yourself, we sell all the packing supplies that you need to pack and prepare your home for a long-distance move.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><b>Pack with Your Destination in Mind</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To make the eventual unpacking easier, determine where your items will be placed in your new home. Not only will doing this help you determine what items will not fit but you can also organize boxes and belongings by their destined room in your new home as you pack.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you pack, label each box as to its contents and the room to which it belongs. Color-coded, numbered stickers (available at Camelot) will help you and your movers save even more time delivering each item to the proper room. Keep an inventory list of your boxes (listed by color and number) to ensure that every box arrives to your new home and to the proper room. Feel free to likewise label and list your furniture to save even more time at your delivery.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you first considered moving homes, the actual day of relocation and all the chores involved in preparing for it probably seemed far away. However, now you have found yourself with only days to go, and it’s time to complete the final tasks before the moving crew arrives. </span></p>
<h3>Follow these steps to prepare for your move.</h3>
<ol>

<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finalize arrangements for the items the moving crew is not handling.</span>


<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have decided to pack up your home yourself, you are hopefully nearly done with your packing checklist. Even if you have hired Camelot’s packing pros, there are a few items they won’t be handling, such as liquids, aerosols, propane, and perhaps plants. From the kitchen and bathrooms to the garage and backyard, gather these items, including cooking and cleaning products as well as motor oil. Be sure to properly dispose of these items or arrange to give them away or transport them yourself. Regarding plants, in most cases, your Camelot crew will be able to transport your plants for you. One exception is that often we are not allowed to transport plants across state lines. Please consult with Camelot before moving day for details to finalize arrangements.</span></li>
<li <span style="font-weight: 400;">Label what is being left behind.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Help your movers out by clearly labeling the items being left in the home, such as large appliances, lighting, patio sets, or furnishings that the home buyer has purchased or belong to the landlord/property. If you can, set these items aside, clearly separating them from the items going in the truck.</span></li>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Label what items are traveling with you.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether you are traveling across town or across the country, there will be items that you will need to have by your side. Pack and identify your suitcases and/or Moving Day bag, which contains important paperwork, driving directions, medicine, pet supplies, etc. that you won’t want to be without. Consider placing these items in the car or a designated closet that has otherwise been emptied, and then inform the movers that nothing in that space needs to be handled.</span></li>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finalize any remaining moving decisions.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you keeping the couch or giving it away? What about the rugs? Now is the time to finalize any last-minute moving decisions so that your movers will know exactly what they need to handle once they arrive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your Camelot crew is more than happy and prepared to help you with these tasks if they are not completed once they arrive. However, you’ll have a more efficient, succinct (and therefore less costly) moving day if you tie up these loose ends before they arrive.</span></li></ol>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">The move to college can come in many forms. Some college students move in with extended family near the school while others move into a dorm full of other young students. Some move across town while others <a href="http://camelotmovers.com/long-distance-moves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">move across the country</a>, or even across ‘the pond!’ No matter the specifics, relocating to attend college is an exciting and emotional step for both parent and student.</p>
<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Preparing well for the physical move to college can alleviate some unnecessary stress from the other demands of getting oneself to college.</p>
<p class="">Let us help you with your next move in Valencia, California, or any of the contiguous 48 states.</p>

</div>
<div>For most college students, your living space will be smaller and provide less storage space than you expect, so think minimally. You can always buy things once you arrive. Additionally, <a href="http://camelotmovers.com/long-distance-moves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">if you are flying</a>, you could save quite a bit of money by<a href="http://camelotmovers.com/packing-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> packing within the limits</a> of your airline ticket and buying needed items once you arrive. Whether you purchase or pack the following items, consider the list below as a good place to start. Additionally, you may need to see the space and furniture/items provided in your housing before making a trip to the store. To round out the list, think of the communal items that you may share in your home (hair dryer, hamper, drying rack) that you cannot go without and plan to purchase your own.</div>

<h2>Packing and Shipping Methods</h2>
<p class="">Now that you have completed your list, how are you going to transport the items? You have your choice of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p class=""><strong> Cardboard boxes </strong>(which collapse nicely upon arrival)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class=""><strong>Plastic bins </strong>(which can help organize your space, but can also unnecessarily take up space when not in use)</p>
</li>
<li><strong>Suitcases</strong> (which usually have wheels for easy transport and protect their cargo nicely, but also can be bulky and in the way when not in use)</li>
</ul>
<p class="">Find the best solution for your needs, which will depend on if you’re flying or driving.</p>
<h2>Tips To Save Space</h2>
<p class="">While some sites will advise you to separate and organize your items for easy unpack, you can save a lot of space by using your clothes to wrap and protect your fragile items during transport. Again, choose the solution that best fits your needs and circumstances. Remember to balance and evenly distribute the weight. You do not want to carry a large box full of books, unless you want to wear a back brace to your first day of class. Use smaller containers for heavy items (books) and larger containers for light items (bedding and clothing).</p>
<h2>Loading Your Car</h2>
<p class="">Lastly, how can you most efficiently load the car (if applicable)? Place the bigger and heavier items in first. Fill the spaces around the bigger items with your smaller items. Be sure no items will shift during the drive, and be sure to load the items in a way that will maintain necessary visibility during your drive.</p>
<h3>LEARNING WHAT MATTERS</h3>
<p class="">College is an opportunity for learning and growth. Let that opportunity begin with the journey there as you learn what are life’s essentials and how to care for them as you relocate. These lessons will help you far beyond the next four years.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="751" height="500" src="http://camelotmovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/image1-2020-06-16T150641.768.png" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="map of places to move" srcset="http://camelotmovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/image1-2020-06-16T150641.768.png 751w, http://camelotmovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/image1-2020-06-16T150641.768-300x200.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bringing 40 years of moving experience and expertise with me when I provide in-home estimates, I am usually the one providing advice and helpful tips. However, recently I have come across some good advice from my customers that I would like to pass on to you, my current and future clientele. </span><span id="more-7481"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actionable Advice from Real-Life Customers</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the Santa Clarita community continues to grow and draw people from all across Los Angeles, Orange County, Pasadena, the Inland Empire, and all of Southern California, Camelot Moving and Storage has had an increase of families contact us to move them to Santa Clarita because we are a trustworthy moving company with a well-known reputation based in their soon-to-be hometown. Rather than looking up a company near their current home, they would rather trust their belongings to a soon-to-be local company. Why?</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Establish a Local Connection in the Community</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The main reason I am given when someone is looking to move with a soon-to-be local moving company is that the client would like to build a connection with a company that will be nearby in case they need further assistance or—worst-case scenario—if something in the relocation process goes wrong and repairs must be completed. Rather than hoping a company—now over 30 miles away—will make a priority of driving a distance to address something for a former client, the client feels they will have more success working with a company that is invested in its community and dedicated to keeping a repeat client.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sadly, not all moving companies remain dedicated to their clients once a move is completed, so it seems like good advice to me if you are moving to Santa Clarita. As a local business with deep roots in Santa Clarita, we are happy to welcome you to the community and continue to meet your moving needs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does that mean if you are leaving Santa Clarita, you should opt for a moving company other than Camelot Moving and Storage? By no means! The reason this advice has never occurred to me is because I would never think of abandoning a customer just because they were too far away. Camelot’s family of clients reaches across the country and most certainly throughout the Southland-area. You are never too far or too near Camelot to receive our high standard of dedication and service, no matter what stage in the relocation process you find yourself.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to Find a Soon-to-Be Local Mover: Online Reviews from Soon-to-Be Neighbors</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When our family-owned and operated moving and storage company was founded way back in 1986, a lot of people simply relied on recommendations from their friends and family members to find trustworthy, worthwhile places to spend their hard-earned money. Today, the majority of consumers trust online reviews to find organizations they want to do business with as much as they trust the personal recommendations they receive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Online reviews allow potential customers to survey a wider circle than friends and family, making such reviews more valuable and worth investigating. When a potential neighbor takes the time to write an online review for a local company, readers know they’re getting an insider’s honest perspective on a local business for the benefit of other potential customers in the neighborhood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a professional, I’m proud to tell you that Camelot Moving and Storage has earned a considerable number of glowing reviews online. “Incredible,” “professional,” “magnificent” are just some of the ways our clients have described their experiences with Camelot Moving and Storage—both on </span><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Camelot+Moving+%26+Storage/@34.4481451,-118.6266208,17z/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x80c27fb2cd22b61d:0xfc24dc8719e93b11!8m2!3d34.4481407!4d-118.6244321!9m1!1b1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Maps</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="http://www.camelotmovers.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelotmovers.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. I’m just as happy to tell you many of our customers read the reviews of our company before they even contact our organization.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While moving can be stressful for people, we can only imagine how anxiety inducing a relocation to a new home must be for our pets. Since a change in their environment will cause some level of stress to your dog, cat, fish, reptile, or any other beloved creature, let’s learn what we can do to ensure their safety and happiness during the move. Here at </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelot Moving and Storage</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we have successfully moved families with all sorts of pets—even the white tigers of Siegfried and Roy—throughout our 34 years of service. We’re happy to share some tips we have learned along the way to help you move the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">entire</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> family successfully to the new home.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Choosing the Right Home</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before your move even starts, you can ensure your pets’ successful relocation by finding them the right home. If you have a dog or outdoor cat, make sure to check out the potential neighborhood as well as the potential home. Consider the indoor square footage your pet will need. Will your cat tree fit? Pets’ needs vary based on age, breed, and species. Keep your pets’ unique needs in mind when home hunting to set them up for the most success.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Packing Up</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because dogs and cats are sometimes afraid of change, introduce them to cardboard moving boxes early. While moving boxes can be used more than once, be aware that used boxes can carry other, smaller, not-so-cute critters as well as other contaminants that may be harmful to your 4-legged family members. You may opt to only use new boxes, available from one of your </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/contact-us/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">local moving companies</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. By introducing them to the packing process early, your pets will have plenty of time to get acclimated to the new sounds and smells of moving day. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>The Move</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The greatest danger to a cat or dog on moving day is the open front door they run through out of fear and confusion. While friends and family are great assets on moving day, if you have one or more pets, consider hiring a </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/about-us-2/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">moving company</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> so that the moving process is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. The shorter the window of time they have to run away, the safer and less stressed your pets will be. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the move is taking place, the safest place for your pet is in a closed off and quiet area, ideally a small bedroom that has already been packed and emptied so no one will be opening that door until it is time to leave. Alternately, you could take them to a familiar friend or kennel they enjoy. Assign one family member to monitor each pet throughout the day if possible. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prepare a moving-day bag for each pet in advance that contains familiar toys, blankets, food, water, and their food dish. Keep the bag and carrier/leash in the quiet room with your pet. S/he will be the last one to leave the house, with you, and the first one to arrive at the new home, where s/he will be placed similarly in a quiet, closed-off room that will not be entered/exited until the movers are gone and the front door is safely closed.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Post-Move Tips</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you begin to settle into your new home, be sure to pet-proof the new place and yard, particularly identifying ways your dog may escape. While it will take some time to completely unpack, try to put as much of your furniture in place as possible and don’t leave anything precariously placed or any towers of boxes too tall before letting your pets out of their safe space. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Outdoor cats should remain indoors for a full 3 days before they are allowed outside so their bearings can be readjusted to their new home. Ease them into the outdoors of their new home, making sure they know this new location is their home. Many freshly relocated cats find their way back to their old home. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gradually introduce your pets to their new environment and monitor their behavior and curiosity to ensure their emotional and physical safety. Give your pets plenty of time and attention for a period of time after a move. You’ll unpack your boxes with time and as needed. The boxes are literally not going anywhere. Your pets, on the other hand, need your love and attention to reassure them that they are indeed home.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A piano is one of the most demanding pieces of furniture to move. Extremely heavy, valuable, and oddly shaped, a piano requires more than simple strength to move. A successful piano move—whether across the room or across the country—requires particular equipment, skill, and expertise. Handling a heavy yet delicate and precise instrument on your own often results in personal harm and/or damage to the piano, possibly irreparably.  </span><span id="more-7472"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelot Moving and Storage</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">equips every truck with the necessary equipment to handle all types and sizes of pianos. And our crew members are well trained in the skill set needed to relocate your piano while protecting your home, your instrument, and their own safety. Consider the following reasons why you should hire a professional piano-moving team.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Pianos Are Awkwardly Heavy</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weighing between 400 pounds and 1,300 pounds with internal components made of cast iron, a piano is likely the heaviest item in your house, undoubtedly if it is an antique piano. Upright pianos are disproportionately top-heavy while baby grand and grand pianos typically distribute this weight across three small legs. This extreme and unevenly distributed weight can quickly get away from the untrained mover.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Pianos Are Expensive</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pianos can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars. Yet, their greatest value is usually sentimental. It is important to weigh the entire worth of the piano—dollars and cents as well as emotional—against the cost of a </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/local-moves/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">professional moving quote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. When considering the potential loss, often the value of the piano will outweigh the cost of protecting an invaluable belonging by hiring a professional piano mover.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Pianos Can Both Damage and Be Damaged</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than just an awkwardly heavy piece of furniture, a piano is also a complex and delicate musical instrument that contains thousands of moving parts that can be damaged easily. Its exterior beauty is vulnerable as well. However, the most vulnerable and valuable element in a piano move is the human element. An item of such weight can cause irreparable damage to its handlers. Therefore, the greatest reason to consider hiring a professional piano moving team is safety, health, and well-being.</span></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Going through a divorce is difficult on its own, but adding in the stress of moving can make the process something you want to get done with as soon as possible. If you’re dealing with this situation, it is important to remember that anybody in this situation would be stressed </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and feel overwhelmed so make the most of any resources available to you to help guide you through the process.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;One thing you can do to alleviate the stress is hire a moving company that will be by your side throughout the process.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here at </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camelot Moving and Storage</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we know that moving after a divorce comes with a set of challenges. This is why our movers are sensitive to your needs during the move and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">will</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> do everything they can to make your transition as seamless as possible. Here is how to take care of yourself during your post-divorce move, with some help from our Santa Clarita moving company.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><b>Figure Out the Legal Side</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even though you may think it is in your best interest to move immediately, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">waiting may be the most beneficial option from a legal standpoint particularly if the divorce settlement will involve the sale of a primary residence.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Additionally, moving costs may be added to a divorce settlement for either party.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><b>Decide How to Divide Up Your Possessions</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes the courts do not help when it comes to dividing up your assets. If this is the case, you’ll need to spend time talking to your spouse about who gets to keep what. Before you get </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">moving company quotes</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or start planning your move, make a list of the possessions that you are planning on moving. This way, the moving company can </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">give an </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">accurate estimate for <a href="http://camelotmovers.com/about-us-2/">moving your share</a> of belongings.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, after you have decided who gets what, think about whether you want your spouse to be home during the moving day. To make things less stressful, you may want to schedule the move for when your spouse is not home so that confrontation is avoided. Of course, if your ex-spouse is excited for your move, having them at the house could make the move go faster.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><b>Personalize Your New Home</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best ways to get past the stress of a divorce is to have a new home that you are excited to move into. In order to do this, try to personalize your new home to your liking and fill it with your own items and possessions. Instead of getting bogged down with memories of your previous stage of life, bring items that will make you excited about your future.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><b>Hire a Trusted Santa Clarita, CA Moving Company</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hiring helpful, caring movers can make a big difference in how your post-divorce move goes. If you </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">need help moving furniture</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or other household items, do not be afraid to contact the professionals at Camelot Moving and Storage. No matter the circumstances surrounding your change in circumstances, our movers know that you are entitled to a stress-free move.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To schedule your move, contact our movers at (661) 255-3112.&nbsp;</span></p>

There is so much excitement in creating a new beginning in a new place but that excitement can be dampened by the realities of planning a long distance relocation from beginning to end. A DIY approach will require that you determine (i.e. Google &amp; FB Group every question) what stuff to pack for your move, gathering supplies to pack, procure a moving vehicle, and actually driving the vehicle to your new destination. Which brings us to our topic; if you want to avoid doing all the heavy lifting and moving work yourself, another option is to hire a professional moving company</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> but that costs money; is it worth it? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Camelot Moving and Storage, we understand that many people face the question of whether or not it is worth it </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">financially</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to hire a professional relocation service for their move. Here are some reasons why hiring movers is worth the money, as well as what professional movers can do to reduce your stress level during a move. (If you want tips on how to find a great company to work with, read here “</span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/10-questions-ask-relocation-company/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">10 Questions to ask a relocation company</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">”)</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Cross-Country Moves</b></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re leaving the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Santa Clarita Valley, or Southern CA</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> region for a different part of the country, you’re likely</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">anxious about</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the logistics. Questions like: how are you going to figure out what </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">kind</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of packing supplies you need for your items? Are you going to enlist the help of friends or family? What size truck do you need to fit all your items? </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you going to spend multiple days driving a truck by yourself, across state lines, which family members will drive the cars?</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If thinking about the answers to all these questions is giving you a headache,</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> consider asking one of the best </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/about-us-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">long distance moving companies in Valencia, California</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for some helpful tips in the planning process, including a free <a href="http://camelotmovers.com/movingchecklist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">moving checklist</a>. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">While we are willing and ready to take on those tasks ourselves for you, we are also more than happy to recommend and advise on what size UHAUL you should  rent if you want to drive your belongings yourself, how to prep appliances and furniture for a long distance move, and even some great tips on </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/never-leave-home-without-them-the-best-tips-for-traveling-with-dogs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">traveling with pets</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. If you decided that DIY long distance moving isn’t for you, then you will get a good feel about our services when you ask us about our full-service long distance moving – and best of all you can price compare what your own time is worth vs paying our team to transport everything out of your current home into our large trucks, handle all the driving and move everything into your new home for you (which would include furniture disassembly and reassembly at both locations).</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bulky and Heavy Items</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you’re planning a long distance move, one of the most difficult things is figuring out how you’re going to move bulky items like couches, entertainment centers, and mattresses. Avoid a situation where your couch gets stuck in the stairwell of your new home and hire a </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/long-distance-moves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">professional relocation services</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> company with the experience and expertise when it comes to moving heavy items.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<h2><b>Saves Time</b></h2>
</li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many cross-country and long distance moves often involve a change in job. When you’re getting ready to start at your new position, the last thing you want to worry about is the logistics of your move, and the impending question, “can we get all of this handled and our home unpacked and setup before work begins?” A particular point of pride for us at Camelot is that our Camelot Team will provide your family with a very finite delivery window—1 to 2 days to be exact. Additionally, our drivers take so much pride in their work that </span><b>99%</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the time they deliver on the first day of that window of time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many people simply do not have the time to commit to a proper move, and if this is the case, hiring professional movers can remove that stress and allow you to focus on parts of the move that are more important to you. </span></p>

Health issues may be affecting your parents’ ability to live independently, and financial challenges may impact their ability to live their preferred lifestyle. Instead of paying an arm and a leg for a retirement home, many young and middle-aged adults choose to have their elderly parents move in with them. Relocating is never easy, but with the help of a professional moving company, moving elderly parents into your home can go smoothly.<br /></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Making the Decision</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even if your mom and dad struggle to live independently or within their current means and you’re eager to help them, having them relocate to your home is still something you need to consider carefully</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. I</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">t’s crucial to think about certain factors before you invite your parents to move in, and it’s equally vital to discuss them openly with all parties who will be impacted by the arrival and continued presence of your home’s new residents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The level of care your parents currently need and how that will change moving forward along with the care you and your immediate family can and will provide are some of the things you should think about and discuss. Whether the new living arrangement is temporary or permanent is another talking point. How the move will influence your ability to cover your increased household expenses is yet another topic that should be discussed amongst all parties as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With multi-generational households becoming increasingly common among Millennials and others, more and more resources have been developed to help adult children like you decide whether moving your parents in is the right move. A piece titled, “<a href="https://www.agingcare.com/articles/preparing-for-a-parent-living-with-you-138793.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Should Your Elderly Loved One Move in with You?</a>” is an insightful resource that can help you make the decision that’s best for you and your partner, kids and parents.<br /></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Our Family-Owned and Operated Moving Company Can Help</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here at Camelot Moving and Storage, we are a </span><a href="http://camelotmovers.com/about-us-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">family-owned and operated moving company</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with headquarters in Santa Clarita, CA. As such, we know firsthand that consolidating households across generations comes with its own set of unique challenges that makes this type of move different from most others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thankfully, we have decades of experience with moving elderly people into new homes. We recognize that the process requires extra sensitivity and respect to everybody involved. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Assuming everyone agrees that merging households is a wise, mutually beneficial move for all involved and the only step remaining is to physically consolidate homes, we can help. Even when emotions are running high and you find yourself on a different page than your senior family members, you can count on our talented team to execute a seamless move that exceeds everyone’s expectations. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like you can rely on us for a smooth move, you can turn to our team of local movers for some tips about relocating your parent(s) to your home. For advice about consolidating households and more, our pointers can make what may be a difficult transition much easier and less stressful for everyone. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consolidating the Households</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your elderly parents have lived in the same house for decades, they have likely accumulated a lot </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">treasured belongings. However, elderly people often do not require the same amount of space and belongings that they did when they were younger, so downsizing is often the right decision. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before moving, take some time to consider what items should be transported to your home and what things can be thrown away, sold, or donated. To make the transition easier on your folks, it’s essential for you to involve them in the sorting process and that you respect their decisions regarding their belongings. If your parents simply refuse to let items go that literally will not fit in your home, you can ease the inevitable tension by suggesting a storage unit for their oversized possessions.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating Space</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the very least, your elderly parents will require a bedroom and a bathroom of their own in your home. Sometimes items or furniture that are already in your home will need to be rearranged in order to make room for your incoming parents. This is something that a moving company can help do</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addressing Accessibility</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another thing to consider when consolidating households is accessibility. Many elderly parents may have mobility issues, which can create additional challenges. Hallways and entryways will need to be wide enough for seniors with a wheelchair or walker to safely traverse, and bathrooms will often need handles for your parents to hold onto. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How much space is available in a bathroom when a door is open or closed is another consideration you can’t overlook. Public handicapped bathrooms are larger than ordinary stalls for a reason, after all.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Permanently affixed grab bars, walk-in showers or tubs, raised toilets or toilet seat stands and ramps are some things you may realize you need to install in your home to ensure your parents can use the facilities available to them easily and, just as importantly, safely. For more tips about ensuring your Santa Clarita-area home’s amenities are fully accessible to your aging parents, consider tapping a knowledgeable resource like the </span><a href="https://myscvcoa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Santa Clarita Senior Center</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While some people may need to have certain things installed for the rooms in their home to be accessible to senior family members, others may simply have to change the layout of their furniture. This is something else that our moving company can </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">help</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. We can transport any furniture that is preventing hallways from being wide enough into another room. If a room has too much furniture to allow you to create wide enough aisles to accommodate your parents, we can move it to another area of your home or </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">store</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> it in our climate-controlled, state-of-the-art storage facility.</span></p>
