The key to packing is organization.

• Pack as much as you can in one room before going to the next room
• Start by packing the out of season items
• Pack the seldom used items next
• Leave the must have items to last; soap, towels, toiletries, coffee, paper cups and plates, paper towels, kleenex, medications, etc.
• Do not pack valuables such as jewellery, precious stones, coin & stamp collections or money, carry them with you.
• Put curtain rod, dresser, shelving, bed or table hardware such as bolts and screws in plastic bags and tape each bag to the article or label each bag and place in a carton labelled “ set up box”
• Do not exceed 50 pounds in weight per box and make sure the lids close flat
• Do not pack dangerous or flammable items such as lighter fluid, paint, oily rags, matches, charcoal, pool chemicals, bleach, oven cleaner or ammunition as they can explode and cause damage to your shipment.

In business for over 50 years, award winning service with Atlas Van Lines and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, LaPorte Moving owner, Ron LaPorte decided that an important service that was missing for his customers was taking over the hassle of cleaning the house, before and after a big move. “We just thought it was an obvious partnership, making sure it covers all ends of the spectrum. Moving in Vancouver can be stressful these days, and we want to ease the stress of moving for our customers“, says LaPorte.

LaPorte Moving also offers packing services with tips on the website, useful moving forms and a personal moving consultation to answer the questions you need answered. These tools allow their customers to prepare and organize their move prior to relocating making it as easy as possible.

LaPorte Moving not only helps their customers pack and move, now thanks to Maid Natural Cleaning, they offer a green cleaning move-in/move out experience for their customers. The Maid Natural Cleaning team is dedicated to a greener cleaning experience, consulting with a certified Naturopath to get the highest level of eco-friendly products and cleaning methods.

Beginning May 2012, the companies will work together and start a new partnership. This new partnership of packing, moving, and storage options from LaPorte Moving and move in/move out cleaning services from Maid Natural Cleaning assures an effortless moving experience and an eco-friendly clean home when you arrive.

Jessie, from the beginning when you came and estimated our move to the final piece of furniture being put in place the day of our move – we were so impressed with your professional and over the top customer service. 

Our movers for the day  – Chad, Mike and Darryl were very impressive.  They were experienced, professional, considerate and a joy to  spend the day with. 

Moving is very tough and you made it a good day.  A big thanks to you, Chad, Mike, Darryl!
