We are continuing our series on tips to help you downsize. We know moving is stressful. 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that takes pride in helping ease some of that stress and providing a positive outcome for our customers. Our long-distance and local movers are experienced and treat your belongings like their own!

Our previous article discussed how decluttering before the movers and packers arrive is one of the first steps you should consider when downsizing. Today, we will address furniture. If you want to downsize, chances are some of your furniture will not fit in your new home/apartment/condo. You will first need to decide what furniture you wish for the movers and packers to bring to your new home. Heirlooms, pianos, antiques and other specialty items are among the furniture most people want to keep. If you have a piano, our piano movers can help determine the best placement in your new home. Thoughts to consider:

Would it be better to purchase new furniture or move what I have?
Could someone in my family or friends use some of my old furniture?
Should I move heirloom pieces and antiques into my new home or place them in climate-controlled storage?

Remember, when it comes to downsizing, less is more. The large sectional that fit perfectly in your family room may not look so great or be as functional in a smaller space. Planning out your furniture before the movers and packers arrive will prevent possible headaches in the future.

If you are searching for full service movers, 3 Guys Moving can help. We are a preferred moving and storage company with long-distance and local movers who can handle any size move. Not all moving companies are equal. Come experience the 3 Guys Moving difference today!

Tips for Downsizing

Whether or not to downsize is a major, emotional decision. Some people downsize when their children move out of the home. Others may wish to have a more manageable mortgage or rent payment. Whatever your reason, there are ways to help make the downsizing process easier.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that has handled thousands of local and long-distance moves. After more than three decades in business, we’ve seen it all! And, we’ve handled everything from simple moves to large-scale ones that require specialized skills such as piano moving. When it comes to downsizing, the biggest issue our movers and packers run into is having more to move than the new space allows. Let’s discuss some strategies to help you prepare for downsizing.

The first thing you will want to do is declutter. Many people consider this the toughest of all tasks. If you are going to downsize, you will need to get rid of things! And, you will need to do so before the movers and packers arrive.

Start with making a list of everything you must keep.
Make a list of items you would like to keep.
Make a list of things that you do not need to keep.
Discuss your lists with family and friends. Are there any items they would like to take off your hands?
Consider donating the items you do not need to charity or selling them online or at a garage sale.

If you still find you have too many items for your new place, then go back through your lists and see what else you may be able to get rid of or consolidate. If you are still at an impasse, you can always have our movers and packers take some of the items to storage.

Part two of our article will discuss more ways to help prepare for downsizing.

Tips to Make Unpacking Easier

As a premier moving and storage company, 3 Guys Moving is pleased to offer tips and advice to help ease the stress of moving. Our next series of articles will provide a series of tips on how to make the unpacking process easier. Let’s take a look:

BE ORGANIZED WHEN PACKING

Whether you are packing yourself or hiring movers and packers to do it for you, it is extremely important to be organized when packing. The more organized you are now, the easier it will be later. Clearly mark each box with its contents and designated room. Remove or set aside items you do not wish to take with you before the full service movers arrive.

TAKE ESSENTIAL ITEMS WITH YOU

Consider taking essential items such as medications, personal items, documents, cleaning products, etc. with you vs. having the movers and packers handle them. This ensures they are readily accessible when you arrive at your new home.

DESIGNATE AN AREA IN EACH ROOM FOR BOXES

In addition to planning placement of furniture, you should also set aside space for your full service movers to stack the boxes that belong in each room. Having the movers and packers set boxes in their respective rooms vs. in one central area of the house makes it much easier when you unpack.

If you are planning an upcoming move, we can help. No job is too big or small for our full service movers. In fact, we are one of the area’s most trusted piano movers and have extensive experience moving fragile and sensitive items. 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving and storage company with local movers, long distance movers and storage facilities designed to handle any type of move.

MORE ITEMS TO MOVE THAN EXPECTED

No job is too large for our full service movers to handle. However, if you wish to save some time and money, consider either donating or throwing away items you no longer wish to keep before your movers and packers arrive.

WEATHER

Weather can put a damper on any parade. However, there is no need to fret. Take a deep breath and trust that your movers and packers will do everything possible to keep your belongings and home free from damage.

Ways to Ease the Stress of Moving

We are continuing our series on ways you can ease the stress of moving. Our previous article covered the importance of getting organized, starting to pack early and using quality moving supplies. Today we will cover three more helpful tips.

SELECT A RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE MOVING COMPANY

While moving truck rental is an option when handling the move yourself, many people choose to hire a full service moving company. This not only eases stress, but a reliable and dependable packing and moving company such as 3 Guys Moving can quickly and efficiently pack your belongings, load them in one of our moving trucks, and safely transport them to your new location. This gives you time to handle other details such as closing on your new home, cleaning, unpacking, etc.

DON’T PROCRASTINATE THE INEVITABLE

Once the movers and packers unload your belongings, you should consider beginning to get unpacked as soon as possible. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, but the more you procrastinate, the more overwhelmed you will feel. Set realistic goals (i.e. tomorrow I will unpack the kitchen items, etc.) and before you know it, your new house will feel like a home!

BE POSITIVE!

Remain positive about your move. If you go into the move feeling stressed, then you will likely be stressed throughout the entire process. Take a deep breath, be organized, hire a reliable moving and packing company and enjoy the journey!

Reasons to Hire a Full Service Moving Company

in Moving & Storage, Piano Movers

We are continuing our series on the advantages of hiring a full service moving company. Our previous article discussed how experience matters when it comes to logistics and safely moving your belongings. We also touched on the fact that when you hire a packing and moving company, there is less physical strain on you. Today, we will cover two more reasons why you should consider hiring professional movers and packers.

LICENSED AND INSURED

When you work with a full service moving company that is licensed and insured, you have peace of mind that you will be covered if an unforeseen circumstance occurs. However, if you are packing and moving yourself, moving truck rental often does not cover items that may break during transport or as a result of a traffic accident.

REDUCES STRESS

Let’s face it, moving is stressful. A packing and moving company can help ease your stress by handling the logistics for you. The movers and packers at 3 Guys Moving have extensive experience packing anything and everything from clothes and dishes to collectibles and fine art.

Can you Move with Houseplants?

in Local Moves, Moving & Storage, Piano Movers

If you are an avid houseplant hobbyist, then snake plants, fiddle leaf figs, and pothos are more than just greenery to you. You probably consider them to be a part of the family so the thought of parting with them might be difficult.

When you are about to move, there are many options for the houseplants you have been caring for:

Give them to a Neighbor
Offer them to Nearby Friends
Sell them at a Yard Sale
Donate to a Local Hospital or Library

If you insist on taking your beloved plants with you, there are a few items you should be aware of. The team at 3 Guys Moving cannot transport plants across state lines. There are stringent inspections and requirements involved, so please contact the state’s agriculture department for more information.

For in-state moves, we encourage our customers to take on the task themselves and leave the other items like pianos, television sets, and appliances to us. By moving your plants yourself you have greater control over environmental conditions such as light, temperature, and watering. If all of your plants are in heavy ceramic pots, just be sure to pack your vehicle accordingly to avoid the mess of a pot breaking.

Out of all the moving companies St. Petersburg, FL, offers, you can rely on 3 Guys Moving to provide the best advice when it comes to transporting specific items, so do not hesitate to contact us. Visit 3GuysMoving.com to explore more about our approach or to get a quote on your move!
