Summer is one of the most popular times of the year to move in Salem Oregon, especially for families with kids out of school and businesses preparing for the second half of the year. However, moving during the hot summer months can be challenging. At Cal’s Moving & Storage, we want to ensure your move is as smooth and comfortable as possible, even when the temperatures rise. Here are some essential tips to help you beat the heat during your summer move.

Start Early and Plan Ahead

Summer days can get scorching hot, especially in Salem, OR, where July temperatures often reach the mid-80s to 90s or even higher. To avoid the peak heat, plan your move for early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler. At Cal’s Moving & Storage, we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate early morning moves, ensuring you avoid the midday sun.

Stay Hydrated

Moving is physically demanding, and it’s easy to get dehydrated. Make sure you and your family or team drink plenty of water throughout the day. We recommend having a cooler filled with ice-cold water bottles easily accessible. Our team at Cal’s Moving & Storage always brings extra water to keep our movers and your family hydrated.

Dress Appropriately

Wear light, breathable clothing to stay cool. Light-colored clothes reflect the sun’s rays rather than absorbing them. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen and wear a hat and sunglasses for added protection. Our professional movers at Cal’s Moving & Storage come prepared with the appropriate attire to ensure they stay cool and comfortable while handling your belongings.

Protect Your Belongings

High temperatures can damage certain items, such as electronics, candles, and even some types of furniture. Use climate-controlled moving trucks to protect your valuables from extreme heat. At Cal’s Moving & Storage, we offer climate-controlled storage solutions to keep your items safe from temperature fluctuations.

Take Breaks

It’s important to take regular breaks to avoid overheating. Find a shaded area to rest, and make sure everyone involved in the move takes time to cool down. Our team is trained to work efficiently while taking necessary breaks to maintain their well-being and ensure a smooth move.

Utilize Professional Moving Services

Hiring professional movers can significantly reduce the stress and physical strain of moving in the heat. Our team at Cal’s Moving & Storage is experienced in handling summer moves and is equipped to deal with high temperatures. We provide comprehensive moving services, including packing, loading, and unloading, so you can focus on staying cool and comfortable.
