A reputable piano moving company should be more than happy to provide you with a list of references. When you contact these references, be sure to ask about their overall experience, if the piano movers were professional and courteous, and if they would use the company again in the future.

When it comes to piano moving, it’s important to hire a qualified professional. Piano movers have the experience and expertise to safely move your piano, and they can also provide you with peace of mind knowing that your precious investment is in good hands. There are several things you should keep in mind when researching piano movers, such as checking credentials and reviews, asking for referrals, and getting a written estimate.

Piano moving is a service that many moving companies offer, however, not all have the knowledge and expertise to do the job right. As a full service moving company, 3 Guys Moving has a qualified team of long distance and local movers who can ensure the safety and integrity of your move. Our next series of articles will discuss various aspects to consider when hiring piano movers.

There are several risks associated with hiring an unqualified piano moving company to transport your piano. First and foremost, your piano is a valuable and delicate instrument, and it is essential that it be handled with care. Inexperienced piano movers may not have the proper equipment or knowledge to safely move your piano, which could result in damage to the instrument. Additionally, unqualified piano movers may not be insured, meaning that you would be responsible for any damage that occurs during the move. Finally, hiring an unqualified piano moving company could end up costing you more in the long run if they damage your piano or injure themselves while moving it.

Whether you are a seasoned mover, or this is a first time move, you may notice your movers and packers using some industry terminology that is unfamiliar to you.  The full service movers at 3 Guys Moving are trained to explain the process to our customers in detail.

Bill of Lading

The bill of lading is another name for your receipt. You will be asked to sign your bill of lading before your movers and packers begin to transport your household goods. This document is extremely important and should be kept with you throughout your move.

Inventory

The inventory is a descriptive, itemized list of the household goods that your full service moving company will be handling and transporting for your move.

High Value Article

If you are moving an item valued at >$100 per pound, it will be classified as a high value article. It is advisable to disclose any high value articles to your movers and packers when they arrive. Piano movers will automatically list pianos, organs, etc. as high value articles.

Military Moves

Military Moves

in , , , ,

Our movers and packers handle quite a few military moves. We are continuing our series of articles discussing some ways to help your family prepare for an upcoming military move. Our previous articles covered the importance of communicating the plan to move with all family members as soon as possible so everyone has time to prepare. We also talked about researching the new area you will be moving to, finding some exciting activities and interests to explore, and closing out any existing commitments in your current area. We also discussed the importance of thoroughly outlining a moving plan, including engaging a moving and storage company to handle your household goods. Today, we will discuss some additional ideas to help your family prepare.

Make “Time” to Say Goodbye

One of the toughest aspects of a military move is the goodbye. Make sure you and your children allow ample time to say goodbye to friends, family, and even fun things you did in the area. Enjoy a meal at your favorite restaurant. Visit your favorite store. Give everyone ample time for closure.

A New Chapter Begins!

Your new adventure begins on the day your movers and packers arrive!  Keep moving forward and help everyone get excited about the new adventure. Take time when you arrive to your new destination to do some “fun” things in between unpacking. Most importantly, be supportive of one another and understand that everyone handles closure and new beginnings differently. Some family members may need more time to adjust, and that is perfectly OK. Let them know you are there for them.

3 Guys Moving is a trusted moving and storage company with both long distance and local movers to help ensure your move is stress-free and efficient.  Our movers and packers are experienced, knowledgeable, and treat your belongings like they would their own.

Preparing Your Family for a Military Move

in , , , ,

If you are in the military, you know you will be faced with having to move duty stations every few years. 3 Guys Moving thanks you for your service and is proud to serve our military!  We are a full service moving company that has also been designated as one of the approved storage facilities for the U.S. military. Our next series of articles will provide some tips to help prepare your family for a military move.

BE OPEN AND HONEST

Moving can be extremely emotional for the family, especially if they have developed good friendships and have ties to the area. It is important to be open and honest about where you are moving to and/or could be moving to for your next duty assignment. Giving your family time to begin processing the move in their minds can help make the transition easier. This is especially true for children who will need to prepare themselves for leaving a familiar environment with their friends and school. Spouses also need time to emotionally prepare, tie up loose ends, say goodbye to friends, and give their current job notice.

RESEARCH THE AREA

If possible, try to research the area and provide your family with some highlights and features that may make them excited to start a new adventure.  What types of unique activities are in the area? Are you going to be close to any theme parks or other fun spots? Do the schools in the area have interesting programs or other highlights that make them especially attractive? Uncovering a few “gems” about the area can help generate excitement about your upcoming move.

Our next article will cover more tips on preparing your family for a military move.

Strategies for Your Move-In

Strategies for Your Move-In

in , , ,

This is the final article in our series designed to help you develop a move-in strategy. Our previous article covered tips to help your move-in go smooth including cleaning your home before your move-in date, packing essentials and keeping them in a designated area that is easy to access, activating utilities so they are on and ready when you move in, taking a final pass at purging items you don’t need before your movers and packers arrive, making an inventory of all of the items your full service movers will be moving, and prioritizing the order of the boxes to unpack.  Here are our final two suggestions.

ASK FOR HELP

A sure way to minimize the stress of unpacking is to ask for help. Don’t be shy about inviting family, friends, and neighbors over for an unpacking party.  Provide them with some food and refreshments and make a fun event out of it. You would be surprised how much can get done with a few extra hands. Another option is to consider an add-on service of having your movers and packers unpack everything for you.

ASSIGN TASKS

Whether you enlist outsiders or plan to keep the unpacking within your immediate family, it is a good practice to get organized and assign tasks. The person who cooks the most may be the best person to assign to the kitchen. A friend of your son or daughter may be assigned to help them unpack their bedroom. Coordinating who does what will make the process easier and faster.

Not every full service moving company has the best interests of their customers at the forefront of their minds. At 3 Guys Moving, taking care of our customers is more than an obligation, it’s part of our company culture. Our long distance and local movers and packers take pride in ensuring your move is as smooth and stress free as possible. We deliver quality services and stand behind our work. We even offer piano moving, and our piano movers are among some of the best in the business. If you are planning an upcoming move, our full service movers and packers would welcome the opportunity to serve you. Give your friends at 3 Guys Moving a call today.

Developing Your Move-In Strategy

in , , , ,

While there is normally a sense of relief when your movers and packers have everything placed in the truck and are enroute to your new home, the feeling is usually temporary as the anxiety of moving in to your new home begins to become apparent. Our long distance and local movers have handled all types of moves, large and small. They find that those who have an organized and planned strategy tend to be much less stressed. Our next series of articles are dedicated to helping you develop your move-in strategy. Let’s get started:

CLEAN BEFORE YOU MOVE IN

It will make unpacking a whole lot easier if you thoroughly clean before your full service moving company brings your furniture and boxes to your new home. Deep cleaning is challenging once you move in because you or the professional cleaning crew you hire will have to work around obstacles.  So, be sure to tackle the first cleaning prior to your move-in date.

PACK ESSENTIALS YOURSELF AND SET ASIDE

There are certain items you will want to have readily available when you move. Examples include medications, hygiene items, change of clothing, tablets/laptop computers, washcloths and towels, baby food and formula, pet food, etc. It is a good idea to pack these items yourself and set them aside before your movers and packers arrive.  You may then wish to have your full service movers transport these items in their moving truck with the rest of your belongings or pack them in your vehicle and bring them yourself.

Our next article will cover more aspects to consider as you develop your move-in strategy.

Packing Items for Storage

Packing Items for Storage

in , , , , ,

There are times when you may need to engage a moving and storage company to hold your belongings until you are ready to move into your new home. This happens quite often with military moves. Outside of the military, some people hire a moving and storage company when they are faced with having to make an interim move. This can occur when you close on your existing home before you close on your new home. It can also happen when you are in the process of building a new home that is not move-in ready and you have to either stay with a friend or family member or rent a place on a month-to-month basis.

If you are faced with having to hire a moving and storage company to temporarily store your belongings, there are some steps you should take to ensure they are properly prepared and packed for storage. We will explore this in our next series of articles. Let’s get started:

DON’T STORE ITEMS YOU MAY NEED TO ACCESS

If you have specific items that you may need to access before you make your final move, it is recommended that you do not place them in storage. This can include anything from important paperwork and kids’ toys to tools and electronics.  Bottom line, if you think you will need it, do not place it in storage.

USE QUALITY PACKING SUPPLIES

Quality packing supplies make all the difference, especially if you plan to place items in storage. Follow the example of our movers and packers who use dependable supplies such as durable boxes, heavy duty tape, bubble wrap, popcorn, and anything else that may be needed to protect the integrity of the contents being packed.

Our next article will cover more tips on how to prepare your belongings for storage.

Challenges You May Face When Moving to a New Area

Challenges You May Face When Moving to a New Area

in , , ,

Moving to a new area can be both exciting and stressful. Your friends at 3 Guys Moving are full service movers that can help ease the stress of moving. There are some common stressors to consider when moving to a new area. Our previous article discussed how no matter how much research and preparation you do, there will inevitably be some unknowns. We also covered how there will also be certain cost factors to consider. Today, we will look at two more challenges to be prepared for when moving to a new area.

EFFORT TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS

Let’s face it, the older we get, the more difficult it is to establish new relationships. Making friends at any age takes effort, and it often takes even more time for adults. Not to mention the fact that if you are leaving an area with family and/or established friends, that can be just plain tough. Getting involved with clubs or organizations, doing volunteer work, and joining a church are some ways to help you get connected in your new town.

FINDING A NEW JOB OR CAREER

Depending on your line of work and demand in the new area you move to, finding a job or re-establishing a career can come with its own set of challenges. Depending on the job market and demand for your skills, it may be difficult to find work in the designated field of your choice. If you are a doctor, lawyer, CPA, or other professional, you may need to pass a state exam or obtain a license to practice.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company with both long distance and local movers who are ready to serve the needs of our valued customers. Our movers and packers have extensive experience and take great care to ensure your belongings are safe and secure. We even offer piano moving. In fact, our experienced piano movers are among the best in the business. If you are in need of a full service moving company, look no further. Give 3 Guys Moving a call today!
