Summer is the busiest season for moving — and for good reason. Longer days, warm weather and school breaks make it an ideal season to settle into a new home. But with high demand comes the need for smart planning. At Hopkins & Sons, we understand that relocating is a complex and overwhelming process. That's why we offer expert support, step-by-step guidance and reliable services to make your summer move as smooth as possible.
Quick Tips to Get Started
● Book Early
Summer dates fill up fast. Lock in your preferred moving day now to avoid the rush.
● Declutter First
A lighter load means a quicker and cheaper move. Donate, sell or toss what you no longer need.
● Plan for the Heat
Keep water handy, wear light clothing and consider packing temperature-sensitive items separately.
● Pack Smart
Label boxes by room, keep essentials close and don’t forget to protect fragile items. Keep in mind, Hopkins & Sons also offers packing services.
● Call the Pros
Our team handles heavy lifting. Let us do the work while you focus on settling in.

Special Situations Need Extra Care
● For Kids
Keep the routine as normal as possible and involve your kids in small decisions. Arrange for a friend or family member to babysit during the move. Pack a “first day” box with their favorite toys, books and snacks.
● For Elders
Make sure the necessary medications are easily accessible during the move. If your elder requires mobility aids, ensure they are packed safely and ready to use.
● For Pets
Make sure their tag and microchip info are up-to-date. Set up a quiet room away from movers while packing. Pack a pet essential bag with food, water, toys and medications.
● For Plants
Water a day before the move. Avoid placing them in the truck. Transport smaller plants in open boxes and secure larger ones in the vehicle.
