Make Moving in Duluth Simple, Not Stressful
Whether you’re upgrading to a larger home near Sugarloaf Parkway or downsizing to an apartment closer to Downtown Duluth, moving can feel overwhelming. But with the right tools and a clear game plan, your Duluth move can be surprisingly smooth.
This guide breaks down each step—from organizing your packing to renting the right moving boxes—with tips specific to the Duluth area and lifestyle.
⸻
Step 1: Start Planning at Least 3–4 Weeks in Advance
Duluth has a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments. No matter your property type, starting early gives you the flexibility to book movers, prep your new home, and pack with less stress.
Pro Tip:
Use our downloadable Duluth Moving Checklist. It covers everything from changing utilities to forwarding your mail.

Step 2: Book Your BoxValet Reservation Early
Weekends in Gwinnett County can be hectic with local events and traffic on Pleasant Hill Road. Schedule your moving box pickup for a weekday to avoid delays.

Step 3: Pack Room-by-Room with Smart Labeling
Avoid chaos by organizing your packing:
• Label bins by room: Kitchen, Bedroom, Office, etc.
• Use color-coded labels and a number system (e.g., Kitchen 1–5)
• Keep essential daily-use items in a separate bin for easy access
• Add a First Night Essentials bin: sheets, chargers, meds, etc.
⸻
Step 4: Don’t Forget the Details (That Most People Miss)
Here’s what many Duluth movers forget:
• Confirm trash pickup days for both locations
• Schedule your utility disconnect and reconnect
• Reserve the elevator if you’re moving into a multi-story building
• Notify HOA or landlord of move-in date (some require paperwork)
• Update your address with USPS, banks, and streaming accounts
⸻
Step 5: Choose the Right Moving Help
Whether you’re hiring local movers in Duluth or enlisting friends, uniform plastic bins help speed up loading and reduce accidents.
If you’re DIY-ing your move:
• Rent a furniture dolly to avoid back strain
• Use moving bags for awkward items like clothes, lamps, or toys
• Load heavy bins on the bottom and lighter ones on top
