Tips for a Stress-Free Family Move with Kids

Moving day can be stressful, with boxes stacked, furniture disassembled, and a whirlwind of activity. Now add kids into the mix and moving can quickly become a daunting task. But fear not! Over the years, our long distance and local movers have learned a thing or two and are here to offer some essential tips to ensure your family’s move is a stress-free experience for everyone involved. Let’s take a look at some ideas on how to help kids navigate the journey of moving.

Preparing Kids For the Move

Before moving day arrives, it’s important to help your children prepare for the big change. Open communication and addressing their emotions will play a vital role in helping them adapt. Take the time to sit down as a family and talk about the move. Encourage your children to express their thoughts and emotions, reassuring them that it’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Additionally, familiarizing your kids with the new place is crucial. Adjusting to a new neighborhood or city can be overwhelming, so consider various techniques to make the transition smoother. You can explore the new area virtually through online maps or plan visits to provide a firsthand experience. Involving your children in the process helps reduce their anxiety and build excitement for the move.

Our next article will cover ways to help engage kids in the moving process.

Moving day can be stressful, but with proper planning, it can also be an exciting fresh start. As we discussed in a previous article, you can alleviate moving day stress by creating a moving day timeline, detailing the order of tasks and the expected arrival time of your full service moving company.

Take your time to arrange furniture and decorate your new space to make it truly feel like home.

How Does Fall / Autumn Look for Moving?

How Does Fall / Autumn Look for Moving?

in , ,

We have been taking a deep dive into different times of year to move. We’ve discuss moving in the spring and summer in our previous articles. Today, we will look at the benefits of moving during the fall/autumn season.

Fall: Harvesting Savings and Serenity

As the temperature begins to drop, fall unveils its own set of advantages for those looking to make a move. As the summer frenzy subsides, fall offers a more relaxed and cost-effective environment for moving. The demand for rental properties usually decreases, resulting in increased availability and potentially better deals for tenants. Moving companies such as 3 Guys Moving may offer attractive off-peak discounts during this time, allowing you to save some precious pennies.

The fall season brings forth a unique charm, especially when it comes to the housing market. As some families settle down for the school year, new listings emerge, and unique housing opportunities become available. Take advantage of this transitional period to explore your options and potentially find the perfect home that meets all your needs.

3 Guys Moving is proud to be the preferred full service moving company serving clients throughout Tampa Bay and beyond. We have been in business for more than three decades and in addition to our moving services, we have a 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse that is also an approved storage facility for the U.S. military.

Techniques for Safe Piano Moving

Techniques for Safe Piano Moving

We’re continuing our series of articles discussing the art of piano moving. The piano movers at 3 Guys Moving share some insight on how they approach piano moving projects.

When it comes to transporting grand pianos, disassembling certain components is often necessary. Removing the keys, legs, and pedals helps reduce the weight and size, making it more manageable to transport. Each component requires careful handling and wrapping. Wrapping all the disassembled parts of a grand piano in padded covers and blankets is vital. This extra layer of protection prevents any damage during transit, shielding the delicate wood, keys, and mechanisms from any potential bumps or scratches.

Upright pianos often do not require disassembly, but they still need special care when it comes to wrapping. Securing the lid with tape or straps ensures it remains closed during transport. Wrapping the entire piano in protective materials, such as blankets or moving pads, acts as a buffer against any sudden impact.

Once your piano is properly wrapped and ready, it’s time for transportation. We will discuss this part of the piano moving process in our next article.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company and premier provider of piano moving services. We have been in business for more than 30 years and our piano movers are highly trained and experienced to help ensure your investment is protected before, during, and after your move. Not all moving companies are equal. If you have a piano that needs moved, then you want to seek a full service moving company with specific expertise in piano moving. Our long distance and local movers have seen and done it all, so you can trust your precious investment with us!  Give us a call to learn more about our piano moving services today.

Preparing for a Successful Piano Move

When it comes to moving a piano, preparation is key. Before embarking on this delicate task, it’s important to seek the expertise of specialized piano movers who understand the nuances involved in transporting such fragile instruments. 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company with extensive expertise in the art of piano moving. Our piano movers have knowledge and experience that make all the difference in ensuring the safe transportation of your piano.

Logistics play a crucial role in piano moving. Before attempting any physical movement, our piano movers conduct a thorough assessment of the space. Measuring doorways, hallways, and any narrow passages help determine if the piano can fit through or if alternative routes need to be considered. This step prevents any unfortunate surprises during the actual move.

Just as important as measuring is using the proper equipment. Piano skids, ramps, furniture dollies, and protective covers are some of the essential tools our piano movers use to ensure safe transportation. This specialized equipment is designed to handle the weight and delicacy of pianos, ensuring they are properly supported and shielded throughout the move.

Smooth Sailing: Planning a Military Move

Smooth Sailing: Planning a Military Move

in , , , ,

Stepping into a new journey is part of the territory for military families. One of the most daunting aspects of military life is preparing for another move. Three Guys Moving is a full service moving and storage company that handles military moves. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time mover, our long distance and local movers can offer you some tips to help you navigate through the chaos and ensure a smooth transition.

Before Your Move

Create a comprehensive pre-move checklist to stay on top of all the necessary tasks. Start by making housing arrangements, notifying schools or childcare providers, and updating your contact information with all relevant institutions. It’s crucial to ensure that all your paperwork – from medical records to vehicle registrations – is in order so you’re well-prepared for your new adventure. Proper planning prevents last-minute panic!

One of the best ways to make your military move easier is to organize and declutter before packing. Take the opportunity to sort through your belongings and decide what you want to keep, donate, or discard. This is also an excellent time to create a detailed inventory of your possessions, which will come in handy when it’s time to unbox at your new destination.

Don’t forget to reach out to the military housing office early in the process. They can provide essential information about housing options, eligibility criteria, and available entitlements. Being well-informed will help you make the best decisions for your family.

Another task on your pre-move checklist is to engage a full service moving and storage company. Not all moving companies have experience with military moves. The long distance and local movers at Three Guys Moving, for example, not only handle military moves, but our 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse is an approved military storage facility.

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

in , , , , ,

There are many choices when it comes to college housing. While it is best to take time to visit the college and personally tour the options available, sometimes doing so is not possible, especially if you’re attending college far away from home. Regardless of what type of housing you decide on, it can be helpful to engage a full service moving company to handle the move-in and move-out processes. Let’s take a look at different housing options to consider and some of the advantages/disadvantages of each.

On-Campus Housing

Dormitories and residence halls are a popular choice, especially for first-year college students. They offer several benefits, such as affordable living costs, opportunities to meet new people, and easy access to campus amenities. However, they do have their downsides, such as strict rules and regulations, limited space, and some privacy concerns. Make sure to carefully consider all of the pros and cons of dorm living before making a decision.

Off-Campus Housing

Another popular option for college housing is off-campus apartments, homes, or shared spaces. Off-campus housing allows you to have more independence, privacy, and freedom over your living situation. It also allows you to explore different neighborhoods and choose a living situation that caters to your unique needs. You can live alone, with roommates, or find a housing situation that mirrors your personality and preferences. However, off-campus housing comes with a few downsides, such as higher rent, further commutes, and fewer on-campus amenities.

Our next article will offer some college housing tips as you embark on this new adventure.

Whether you choose to live on-campus or off-campus, your friends a 3 Guys Moving can handle the entire move from start to finish. Some moving companies aren’t willing to handle small moves, but we are a full service moving company that caters to all situations.

Our previous article discussed some ways to help your parents declutter and prepare to pack. Today, we will explore more strategies to consider.

Prepare Essential Documents

Another important step in preparing for a move is to gather all of the essential documents your parents have and will need. This includes their birth certificate, social security card, passport, driver’s license, insurance information, etc. Make copies of all these documents and keep them in a safe place where you can easily access them. You should also have your parents sign any necessary legal documents in advance, such as a power of attorney or medical directive.

Develop a Timeline

Timing is everything when it comes to moving, so it’s important to plan out a timeline in advance. Decide when you want to start packing up their home, when you want your full services movers and packers to come, and when you want to arrive at the new home. It’s also helpful to plan for some down time so everyone can get plenty of rest and avoid getting too stressed out during the process.

Location

Location, location, location! You’ve heard this referenced before and it is very true, location does matter. It is important to decide what aspects you value to ensure your family feels at home. Do you like being near the beach? Close proximity to shopping? Living out in the country? Being centrally located in the middle of a big city? Living in an area with professional sports teams? Make a list of the attributes you and your family consider important, then narrow down your potential move to areas that meet this criteria.

Proximity to Family & Friends

Being in close proximity to family and friends is important to some people, especially those who enjoy entertaining. If you have an elderly loved one, that could also factor into your decision of where to move.
