Take Advantage of Our Local Moving Company's 90+ Years of Experience!

Relocating locally can be less stressful than a long-distance move but still requires careful preparation. At Lamanna Moving, LLC, your trusted local moving company in Albany, NY, we’re here to share some professional tips to help make your move efficient and hassle-free. Whether you’re moving across town or just a few blocks away, these strategies can save you time, energy, and stress.

Smart packing is one of the most important strategies to get right if you want to make the moving process go more smoothly. It can improve the efficiency of everything from loading up the moving truck to organizing your new living space. Use sturdy boxes, and label them clearly with their contents and the room they belong to. Keep essential items that you’ll need immediately, like toiletries or chargers, in a separate “essentials box.” For fragile items, wrap them carefully and inform your movers to handle them with care. After nearly 100 years of experience with local Albany-area moves, we've learned to tell clients to make packing their #1 priority.

Some additional moving tips we recommend include:

• Notifying utility companies ahead of time to schedule service changes
• Opting for professional movers to handle heavy furniture or equipment 
• Measuring doorways and furniture to ensure a proper fit
• Keeping important documents and valuables with you rather than in the moving truck
• Taking photos of your new place before moving in, especially if renting
