Finding a House That Becomes a Home

Finding a House That Becomes a Home

in , , , , , , ,

A house is a building, but a home is a place of warmth, comfort, and contentment. At 3 Guys Moving, our long distance and local movers and packers understand that your “home” is more than a foundation, drywall, roof, and stucco. Our goal as your full service moving company is to make your transition into your new home as exciting, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible. If you are in the process of searching for a new “home”, this next series of articles is for you. We will be discussing some of the aspects that help make a house become a home.

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.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that has been helping people move into new homes for more than three decades. Our long distance and local movers also handle commercial moves as well. And, if you are a piano enthusiast, we handle piano moving. In fact, our piano movers are among the best in the business.

Our previous articles discussed how most moving companies have movers and packers who will pack your household goods and disassemble and assemble your furniture.

Today, we will look at more services typically offered by a moving and storage company.

Storage

A moving and storage company offers secure climate-controlled storage for those who are making an interim move, a temporary move, military move, etc. 3 Guys Moving, for example, is a moving and storage company with a 23,000 square foot warehouse that is equipped to meet any storage needs.

We are continuing our series of articles highlighting some of the services offered by a packing and moving company. Our previous article discussed how most moving companies have movers and packers who can pack all of your belongings for you, as well as disassemble and assemble furniture.

Loading and Unloading

A packing and moving company will load all of your belongings onto the moving truck and then unload them when the truck arrives at your new home. Your full service movers and packers will bring moving blankets, dollies, and anything else needs to safely move your belongings. They will only load items you ask them to load, so be sure to be clear on what you want to be placed on the truck for transport. When it comes to unloading, a packing and moving company will place your belongings where you want them placed. It is a good idea to have a plan in mind beforehand so boxes and furniture are place in or near the areas they will ultimately be used.

Transportation

A packing and moving company will come with a truck that is ready to be loaded. Your full service movers and packers will then drive the truck to its final destination. Both long distance and local movers will utilize and drive an insured company truck.

Defining Moving Terms

What Does This Mean? Defining Moving Terms

in , , ,

We are continuing our series of articles defining some of the most common moving terms used by movers and packers. Our previous article covered the bill of lading, which is another name for your receipt. We also defined inventory as a descriptive, itemized list of the household goods your long distance or local movers will be handling. And we discussed that a high value article was any item valued at more than $100 per pound. Let’s define a few more moving terms:

ORDER FOR SERVICE

The order for service is the final document that authorizes your full service moving company to transport your household goods to a designated location, which could be your new home, a storage facility, or somewhere else as authorized by you.

STORAGE-IN-TRANSIT (SIT)

Storage-in-transit is a term your moving and storage company uses to refer to the temporary storage facility where your household goods are being transported for an interim move. SIT is used quite often in military moves, and also in moves where someone is moving to a temporary location while they wait to close on another home.

VALUATION

This is essentially the value of your entire shipment of household goods. Your moving and storage company will assign a monetary value to the household goods they are transporting.

3 Guys Moving is a trusted full service moving company located in Tampa, Florida. Our long distance and local movers handle all types of residential and commercial moves.

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. However, in the midst of everything, it may be difficult to remember all of the terminology. Our next series of articles will cover common terms used by movers and packers.

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. We are an approved storage facility for the U.S. military, so our moving and storage company knows what it takes to get the job done right. We even handle piano moving. In fact, our piano movers are among some of the best in the business. If you have an upcoming move, we would be honored to serve you. Give us a call to connect with our movers and packers today!

Prepping Your Military Move

Prepping Your Military Move

in , , , ,

The movers and packers at 3 Guys Moving consider it an honor when we have an opportunity to provide quality moving services to members of the United States military. We are continuing our series of articles aimed at helping you and your family prepare for a military move.  Our previous article covered the importance of being open and honest with everyone in the family so they can emotionally prepare for the move. We also discussed researching the new area to discover some highlights and features that may generate excitement about your upcoming move. Today, we will explore more ways you can help prepare your family for a military move.

CLOSE OUT CURRENT COMMITMENTS

All family members with jobs, school, and other commitments should give plenty of notice. Employers will need time to re-hire and train a replacement. You will need to get transcripts from any schools / colleges you or your children are attending to help with the transfer to your new school.

OUTLINE YOUR PLAN

It is important to outline a comprehensive plan for your move. Where will you live?  Will you purchase a home? Reside in military housing? When will you move?  This all needs to be thought out and put on paper. You will also need to engage a trusted and approved moving and storage company for the U.S. military

Our next article will cover more tips to help you prepare for a military move.

3 Guys Moving is proud to be an approved moving and storage company for the United States military.  Our long distance and local movers understand the unique needs of service members and their families.  We take pride in making your move as stress-free as possible.

Unfortunately, not every moving and storage company has the best interest of their clients at heart. If you have an upcoming move, our movers and packers will be here for you. Give your friends at 3 Guys Moving a call today!

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.
