Moving day doesn’t have to be chaotic. With the right plan—and Luxe Home Concierge managing the details—you can step into your new home calm, organized, and ready to live.
At Luxe Home Concierge (the home-management arm of Luxe Home Collective in Ridgewood, NJ), we specialize in white-glove move management for NYC-to-NJ relocations, bridging move-in day with concierge project management for home renovations. From insurance compliance and contractor vetting to installations and post-move punch lists, we handle every layer so your home transition is seamless.
⸻
2–4 Weeks Before: Set the Foundation
• Book vetted movers with COI handled. Luxe Home Concierge secures your Certificate of Insurance (COI) and freight elevator reservations to prevent day-of delays.
• Measure and map. Create a detailed room-by-room floor plan; tape out key furniture pieces.
• Utilities & services. Schedule electric, gas, water, and internet activations 1–2 days before move-in.
• Address + insurance updates. Forward mail, update your driver’s license and bank, confirm homeowners or tenant insurance coverage.
• Centralize documents. Store all contracts, receipts, and warranties in your Lux Home Vault.
• Declutter + donate. Schedule donation pickups the week before your move.
• Protection gear. Stock up on floor runners, felt pads, and door guards to protect finishes.
• Pre-order essentials. Blackout shades, surge protectors, and Wi-Fi gear should be ordered early.
💡 Luxe Tip: Take advantage of our trade pricing for window treatments, lighting, and rugs so installations align perfectly with move-in.

7–10 Days Before: Pack With Intention
• Color-code by room. Label boxes with colored stickers and place matching signs at the new home.
• Pack “Open First” boxes. Include tools, hardware, chargers, remotes, and cords for each room.
• Photograph meter readings, serial numbers, and appliance conditions in both homes.
• Confirm logistics. Double-check truck permits, elevator times, and quiet hours.
• Plan for kids and pets. Arrange sitters or create a calm, stocked space for them on move day.

First-Night Kit (Goes in Your Car)
Include bedding, towels, toiletries, medications, chargers, snacks, coffee, cleaning essentials, next-day outfits, a small toolkit, and your Wi-Fi router/modem.
⸻
Move-Day Morning: Lead Like a Pro
• Crew huddle at the door. Share the floor plan and color legend before unloading.
• Protect first. Floor runners down before the first box.
• Load last, unload first: beds, linens, and Wi-Fi gear.
• Keep hardware organized. Bag and tape to furniture or store in one labeled bin.
• Clear pathways and prop doors as allowed.
💡 Luxe Tip: Post a printed color legend at the entry so movers place boxes right the first time—no reshuffling later.
⸻
After Arrival: Install the Essentials
1. Beds built and dressed
2. Window coverings installed
3. Wi-Fi connected
4. Fridge stocked
5. Showers ready
⸻
24–48 Hours Post-Move: Finish Strong
• Unpack by zones: kitchen, baths, and primary closet first.
• Safety sweep: check smoke/CO detectors, shut-offs, breakers, and gas valves.
• Change locks or smart codes immediately for security.
• Replace HVAC filters and program thermostats.
• Create a handyman punch list: patch walls, adjust doors, hang TVs or artwork.
• Register warranties and upload everything to your Lux Home Vault.
• Schedule box breakdown and haul-away.
• Get to know your neighborhood: waste collection, parking rules, and permits.
