Your Summer Moving Guide with Wicked Good Moving
Summer is the most popular time of year to move, and for good reason. Longer days, school vacations, and generally better weather make it an ideal season to settle into a new home. But with the advantages of summer also come a few seasonal challenges. At Wicked Good Moving, we help New England families move with ease all year long, and we know exactly how to make your summer move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
The most important step in a successful summer move is early planning. Summer is peak season for moving companies, and schedules fill up fast. Booking your move well in advance guarantees you’ll get your preferred date and gives you extra time to get organized. Whether you're moving across town or across state lines, planning ahead allows you to prepare without rushing—making for a much calmer experience overall.
Timing matters, too. Summer temperatures can climb quickly, especially during midday hours. We recommend scheduling your move for the early morning or later in the afternoon when it’s cooler. Not only is this better for your comfort, but it also helps protect your belongings—especially heat-sensitive items like electronics, candles, and certain plastics that can warp or melt in high temperatures.
Don’t underestimate the impact of hydration and heat safety. On moving day, make sure to have cold water available for everyone involved. Wear lightweight, breathable clothing and don’t forget sunscreen if you’ll be outside for long stretches. Taking short breaks to cool off can go a long way in keeping everyone safe and productive.
When packing, be mindful of what might be affected by the heat. Medications, cosmetics, plants, and food should be kept out of the truck if possible and moved separately in a climate-controlled vehicle. Clearly labeling these boxes will help you keep track of what needs extra care during transit.
If you have children or pets, it’s worth making a plan for their comfort and safety. Moving can be overwhelming for little ones, and hot weather only adds to the stress. Consider arranging childcare or pet care for the day, or designate a cool, quiet space in your current or new home to keep them out of the fray.
At Wicked Good Moving, we’ve built our reputation on being efficient, reliable, and just plain easy to work with. From the first phone call to the final box, we make your move feel less like a hassle and more like a fresh start.
