Storage Options for Your Interim Move

in , , , , ,

When making an interim move, you may need to place some of your belongings in storage.  3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company who has helped customers address their interim storage needs.  Let’s take a look at the different types of storage options to consider.

ON-SITE PACKING CONTAINERS

On-site packing containers have become very popular in recent years.  However, they may be frowned upon by your homeowners association (HOA).  Before choosing this storage option, it is important to review your deed restrictions to ensure you are not violating any HOA rules or subjecting yourself to assessments and fines.

SELF-STORAGE

Self-storage is consider the old standby of storage options. This option requires you to have a vehicle large enough to move your belongings and the time to do so. You will also need to assess your storage needs to determine the right size and type of unit you will need to rent.  Items typically stored indoors should be stored in a climate controlled facility.

Decreasing the Stress of a Long Distance Move

in , , , ,

Long distance moves are often a source of anxiety.  However, with proper planning and a trusted packing and moving company, your long distance move does not have to be a stressful one.  Your friends at 3 Guys Moving understand and are here to help.  Let’s take a look at some planning tips to help decrease the stress of a long distance move.

DETERMINE YOUR TARGET DATE

The first step is to determine a target date for your movers and packers to arrive. When planning this date, consider how long it will take the moving company to transport your belongings to your new location.  Once you have determined a timeframe, give you moving company a call to schedule your move.

PREPARE FOR MOVERS AND PACKERS

The better prepared you are, the easier it will be when your movers and packers arrive.  Declutter and get rid of items you no longer need. Set aside items you do not want the moving and storage company to pack and transport.  Try to keep children and pets in a separate room or designated space so your movers and packers can move about freely with no obstacles.

TAKE ESSENTIALS WITH YOU

Depending on how far your long distance move is, it could be several days before you are reunited with your belongings.  Make sure you take essential items with you such as medication, children’s toys, diapers, personal care items, laptop computers and tablets, pet food bowls and food, etc.

Remember, 3 Guys Moving is a moving and storage company, so if you need to store furniture or other belongings we can do so in our 23,000 sq.ft. climate-controlled warehouse.  In fact, we are an approved military storage facility.  Our movers and packers are experienced and equipped to handle your move.  We even have trained piano movers on staff.

Tips for Downsizing

in , , , ,

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.

Do you need a full service moving company either now or in the future?  If so, our movers and packers are ready to help.  3 Guys Moving is a packing and moving company dedicated to ensuring our customers are satisfied.  Our long-distance and local movers take pride in what they do and they do it well.  And, because we are a moving and storage company, we can store your items in our secure, climate-controlled warehouse during your interim move. Don’t settle for just any packing and moving company.  Use the one that is trusted and experienced.  Give your friends at 3 Guys Moving a call today!

Preparing Your Pet(s) for a Move

Preparing Your Pet(s) for a Move

in , ,

As a moving and storage company that has been in business for decades, we understand the stress everyday people face during the process of moving.  Now, take that stress and double it for your pet(s). While you cannot postpone your move for your pet(s), there are some strategies you can use to help ease their anxiety.  Let’s take a look.

TRY TO PACK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ALL AT ONCE

Packing is an activity that causes anxiety in many animals. If you are packing yourself, try to pack as much as you can all at once.  Packing and moving boxes over the course of days and/or weeks can significantly elevate stress levels in your pet(s).

CONSIDER SENDING YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBER TO A FRIEND’S HOUSE OR SPA FOR THE DAY

Movers and packers are often a source of stress for pets.  Consider having a friend watch your pet(s) or perhaps send them to the local pet spa on the day your full service moving company is scheduled to arrive.

GIVE THEM EXTRA ATTENTION!

Your pet(s) will get more and more anxious, especially when the movers and packers arrive. It is important to reinforce to your pet(s) that you love them and that they are not going to be left behind. Be sure to give your pet(s) extra love and attention before, during, and after your move.  A few extra treats won’t hurt, either!

At 3 Guys Moving, our movers and packers care about everyone in your family, including your furry pets!  We understand that the packing and moving process can cause great anxiety for any pet.  If you do your best to ease them into what is happening, they are less likely to be stressed.

Are you seeking a full service moving company to handle your upcoming move?  If so, we can help. As a moving and storage company, we have packers, movers and a 23,000 square foot warehouse to help meet all of your moving and storage needs.  Not all moving companies are equal.  Give us a call to experience the 3 Guys Moving difference today!

How to Identify an Honest Moving Company

How to Identify an Honest Moving Company

in , ,

Sadly, our industry is flooded with dishonest moving companies. This often makes it difficult for consumers to find reputable local movers. Below are some ways to help you determine if the full service moving company you are planning to hire is running a reputable and honest operation.

LICENSED AND INSURED

You always want to hire a full service moving company that is licensed and insured. Fly-by-night moving companies that are not licensed and insured take advantage of people every day. A licensed and insured moving and storage company has taken the time to undergo the expense of acquiring the required licenses and insurance designed to protect the consumer.

REFERENCES AVAILABLE

A reputable full service moving company will be happy to provide you with references upon request.

HAVE AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL LOCATION

It is a best practice to hire a full service moving company that has an actual physical location.  This can be an office, warehouse, storage building or some other physical address that is not a post office box.  Moving companies with no physical address are a definite red flag.

At 3 Guys Moving, we are proud to be able to say that our owner, Mark O’Laker, has been a trusted industry professional for more than 30 years.  He leads a team of experienced movers and packers who enjoy what they do and treat our customers right! Don’t trust just any packing and moving company with your next move.  We can help and stand ready to serve you.  Give us a call today!

Tips to Make Your Long Distance Move Go Smooth

in , ,

Part Two

We are continuing our series on ways to help make your long distance move go smooth.  Our previous article discussed decluttering, deciding on which items to keep with you during your travels and organizing and inventorying your belongings before the packers and movers arrive.  Below are more long distance moving tips.

SELECT A PACKING AND MOVING COMPANY

If you are not going the moving truck rental / DIY route, selecting a reliable and dependable packing and moving company is the single most important aspect of a long distance move.  Fly-by-night moving companies that are here today and gone tomorrow are everywhere.  You want to select a moving and storage company with longevity, experience and a good reputation for handling long distance moves.  3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that has been in business for more than three decades.  Our movers and packers are experienced and we are licensed and insured. Not all moving companies have the track record and reputation we’ve worked hard to earn!

BE READY WHEN THE MOVERS AND PACKERS ARRIVE

Know ahead of time which items the movers and packers will be dealing with when they arrive.  Have an inventory sheet and check off list ready so you can be sure nothing is overlooked.

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR INVENTORY BEFORE THE MOVERS AND PACKERS LEAVE

It is a good idea to double check your inventory list before the movers and packers leave to make sure they have everything.  This is especially important if you are leaving some items behind and/or taking some items with you as you travel to your new location.

If you need a dependable and reliable full service moving company to handle your long distance move, we can help. Our movers and packers make sure your belongings are handled with the utmost care. And, since we are a moving and storage company, we have more than 23,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space to meet your storage needs.  We are different from the typical full service moving company in that we excel in inspections, meet or exceed all industry standards and requirements and customize every move to fit the needs of each customer.  Give us a call to learn more today!
