Moving and Storage Company Services

in Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Moving & Storage

We are continuing our series of articles discussing the different types of services offered by a moving and storage company. Our previous articles covered the fact that a moving and storage company can handle your entire move from start to finish. We also touched on how experienced movers and packers can take care of packing all of your belongings, loading the moving truck, and transporting your items. Today, we will look at two more services offered by full service movers.

STORE YOUR ITEMS

Not all moving companies have storage facilities which is why you will want to hire a moving and storage company if you need to place some of your items in storage for an interim move or other purpose. A moving and storage company provides a comprehensive, convenient solution when you need both moving and storage services.

UNLOAD THE MOVING TRUCK

A moving and storage company employs long distance and local movers and packers who will take care of unloading the moving truck. They will even place boxes and other items in their corresponding areas or rooms to help make unpacking much easier.

Our next article will cover additional services offered by full service movers.

The Indirect Costs of Handling Your Move Yourself

in Featured, Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Moving & Storage, Piano Movers

Are you pondering whether or not to hire a full service moving company for your upcoming move? If so, then this series of articles is for you. While moving companies cost money, so does conducting the move yourself. We are continuing our series on the costs of handling your move on your own. Our previous article discussed the need to purchase boxes, packing materials and other supplies. We also covered the fact that moving yourself often results in needing to rent a moving truck. Today, we will look at some of the indirect costs to consider when you forgo hiring a packing and moving company.

ADDITIONAL RISKS

When you move yourself, you assume all risks for the move. For instance, if you rent a moving truck and you get into an accident that is your fault, you will be responsible for any injuries and damage to both the vehicles and items you are transporting. You may also be required to purchase an additional insurance rider. Moving companies are licensed and insured so they assume all of the risks during your move.

GETTING HURT, DAMAGE, ETC.

If your best friend drops your 88 inch television on his or her foot, then you are technically responsible for damage to your television as well as the injury to your best friend. Or, let’s say you are driving the moving truck and accidently hit a huge pothole that results in damage to some items you are transporting. In this case, you’re out of luck. When you use full service movers, it is their responsibility to ensure your contents are safely moved without damage.

Garage Sale Preparation

We are continuing our series on preparing for your garage sale. Our full service movers recommend downsizing and/or getting rid of items you don’t plan to use in your new home. This saves time and money over the long term. Our previous article covered the first steps in garage sale preparation including determining the date(s) of your garage sale, organizing items, and cleaning the items to make them look their best. Today, we will look at three more garage sale preparation tips to consider.

PRICE ITEMS

A key to a successful garage sale is to strategically price the items you are selling. People who attend garage sales are often looking for a “deal”. Price the items so you have some wiggle room to negotiate.

RECRUIT FRIENDS TO HELP

Buy some pizzas and sodas and recruit as many friends as you can to help! This will not only make the day go faster but will also ease the burden of doing everything yourself.

ADVERTISE!!

Be sure to advertise your garage sale in local newspapers, homeowners’ association newsletters and with street signs. The more traffic you have, the quicker you will be able to sell the items and wrap up the day.

Fragile items, including antiques and collectibles, should be handled in a delicate manner. When you hire an experienced moving and storing company such as 3 Guys Moving, your movers and packers will take extra time to ensure these items are safe and secure. We also understand that sometimes people wish to pack these items themselves. Our next series of articles will cover some tips to consider when packing fragile items, antiques and collectibles.

USE NEW, STURDY BOXES

While it may be tempting to drag out old boxes from the attic, it is highly advisable that you purchase new, sturdy boxes when packing your collectibles. When you hire a quality moving and storage company such as 3 Guys Moving, you will notice that the movers and packers always use sturdy, high quality boxes, especially when dealing with antiques, collectibles and items that are fragile.

WRAP/PACK ITEMS USING CUSHIONING MATERIALS

There are numerous types of cushioning material that can be used when packing fragile items. Our movers and packers use a combination of materials depending on the fragility of the item(s) being packed. Some popular cushioning materials used by a moving and storage company include air pillows, bubble wrap, and foam peanuts. Movers and packers often pack photo albums and collectibles such as comic books and vintage magazines in mylar bags to keep them protected.

Our next article will cover more tips on protecting fragile items during your move.

Reducing the Stress of Unpacking

in Featured, Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Military Moves, Moving & Storage

Moving can be a daunting task. Movers and packers are a tremendous asset on the front end, but when it comes to unpacking and organizing, that is something most homeowners wish to tackle themselves. As we’ve mentioned in previous articles, it can be very helpful to have your full service movers unload the boxes and furniture into their corresponding rooms. This will save you the headache of doing it yourself. We also discussed setting up your electronics and appliances, beginning to make the space your own, and the importance of eating and staying hydrated. Today, we will cover three more unpacking tips to consider.

SET A GOAL FOR EACH DAY

Try to set a goal for each day. This not only helps you to stay on track with your unpacking, but also gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Just make sure that the goals you are setting are reasonable and achievable.

INVITE FRIENDS OVER

Invite your friends to come over to help! A few extra hands can make an incredible impact and help expedite your unpacking process.

TAKE TIME OFF!

While unpacking is important, it is equally important to take regular breaks and time off to help refresh your mind and body. Consider taking the afternoon off to catch a movie, explore the local area, grab a bite to eat at a new restaurant, etc.

Advantages of Hiring Full Service Movers vs. Renting a Moving Container

in Featured, Moving & Storage

We are beginning a new series of articles on the advantages of hiring a full service moving company vs. renting a moving container. Moving containers are quite popular because they are cheap and able to be placed on your driveway for an extended period of time. However, if you are moving to a multi-family housing unit (i.e. apartments, condos, etc.), an urban area where parking spaces are limited, or a neighborhood with a homeowners association, you may run into issues with being able to drop your moving container and leaving it for more than a few days. This is just one of the challenges some people face when using a moving container. Let’s take a look at some reasons why hiring full service movers may be a better option.

A Moving and Packing Company Can Alleviate the Burdon of Packing

Packing is one of the most time consuming tasks of moving. A full service moving company has movers and packers that can handle this for you. When you rent a moving container, you must not only pack boxes, but you also have to do all of the loading and unloading.

Full Service Movers Know How to Keep Items Safe

Full service movers know how to strategically pack boxes and place boxes and bulky items in the truck in a way that will keep them safe during transport.

Our next article will cover more reasons to consider hiring full service movers and packers vs. renting a moving container.

3 Guys Moving is one of Tampa’s premier moving companies. We have handled thousands of moves in our more than 30 years of business. Our movers and packers take time to evaluate your needs then develop a plan to ensure your move is as stress-free and smooth as possible.

Why Climate Controlled Storage is Important

in Corporate Moves, Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Moving & Storage, Warehouse Space

When making a temporary or interim move, you may need to store some of your belongings for a period of time. A moving and storage company is ideal because they send movers and packers to prepare and move your belongings to a temporary storage space. However, beware of moving companies that advertise storage services but provide few details. If you want to ensure your belongings are truly safe and secure, they need to be placed in climate controlled storage. Here’s why:

PROTECT CONTENTS FROM EXTREME WEATHER AND HUMIDITY

Extreme heat or cold and humidity can damage and destroy items such as furniture, documents, photos, artwork, electronics and more. A climate controlled facility has the temperature and humidity set at optimal levels. 3 Guys Moving is a moving and storage company that provides climate controlled storage for our valued customers.

SECURITY

A climate controlled storage facility is more secure than an outdoor self-storage facility where tons of people have access. The only people who have access to our secure warehouse is our trusted employees.

CLEANER

A climate controlled storage facility is better sealed and has more insulation than an outdoor facility. This helps keep the air quality high and controls dust and debris. The movers and packers take this a step further and place your items in secure storage containers to further keep them protected.

Your friends at 3 Guys Moving stand ready to serve your interim storage needs. As a moving and storage company, we have a 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse that is secure and able to meet the residential and corporate storage needs of our customers. Our movers and packers have the knowledge and experience to prepare even the most fragile and sensitive items for safe storage. Not all full service movers are equal.

Not All Items Are Worth Moving

in Featured, Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Moving & Storage

PART ONE

Moving provides an excellent opportunity to begin anew. One way to make a fresh start is by only moving the items you absolutely need. At 3 Guys Moving, our movers and packers have seen it all. One bit of advice our full service movers highly recommend to customers is to use their move as an opportunity to declutter. Let’s take a look at some items to really go through before your movers and packers arrive.

CLOTHES

Take time to go through your clothes and consider which ones you really need to keep. That sweater from high school may be nice, but if it does not fit anymore, consider donating it. If your children have clothes that no longer fit or are too worn to wear, it’s probably not worth the time or expense to take them with you.

APPLIANCES

If you have appliances that are old, need fixed or are still hanging on to ones you do not use, consider selling them or donating them before your movers and packers arrive.

MATTRESSES

Mattresses should be replaced every eight to 10 years. If your mattress is worn out, uncomfortable, lumpy, etc. then it is probably not worth the time or expense to move it to your new home.

Our next article will cover more items to consider donating to charity, selling, or throwing away before your full service movers arrive.

3 Guys Moving has been a preferred moving and storage company serving the Tampa Bay area and beyond for more than three decades.
