Our Essential Moving Tips for Santa Maria
Here are a few essential tips from our BLVD Moving team to help make your Santa Maria relocation simple:
-
Schedule Around Major Freeway Projects:
Santa Maria's segment of U.S. Route 101 has seen ongoing lane expansions and upgrades. These projects can cause unexpected delays, especially near the Santa Maria Way exit.
-
Avoid Peak Harvest Season and Ag Routes:
Moving during grape harvest season? Watch out for slow-moving farm vehicles on Highway 135 (Broadway) and surrounding rural roads. These tractors and trucks can significantly slow down moving trucks.
-
Pack Smart and Label Everything:
Clearly labeling your boxes by room and contents saves time when unloading and unpacking. It's especially helpful in busy neighborhoods like Santa Maria, where space is limited.
-
Schedule Your Move During Off-Peak Hours:
Whenever possible, plan your move for early in the day or midweek to avoid heavy traffic and busy foot traffic in the area. This helps ensure a faster, more efficient move.
-
Trust Experienced Local Movers:
Santa Maria has its unique rhythm, and working with movers who are familiar with the area makes a significant difference. We have the experience to navigate the neighborhood safely and efficiently.
