Making Sure Your Items Are Properly Packed

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

We are continuing our series of articles on packing. As a full service moving company, we take great pride in keeping your belongings safe during your move. If we handle your packing, you can trust that our movers and packers will do everything possible to ensure your belongings are properly packed. However, if you are packing yourself, there are some factors to consider. Our previous article discussed using quality packing materials and securely wrapping fragile items. Let’s take a look at two more tips.

PACK BOXES TO THE TOP

It is important to make sure all of your boxes are fully packed. Leaving space on top or along the sides can result in the boxes getting crushed and/or risk damage from contents moving around during transport. If you have odd size items that will not completely fill the box, our movers and packers recommend stuffing the open space with items such as towels, moving peanuts, bubble wrap or crumpled packing paper.

PROPERLY STACK BOXES

It is important for boxes to be properly stacked at all times. This includes when they are being prepped for the moving truck, when they are placed in the moving truck, and when they are then moved into your new home. Heavy boxes should be placed on the bottom. Delicate items should be placed in the truck last. Since 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company, you can take comfort in knowing that when you hire us to handle your move, our movers and packers make every effort to ensure your items are safe and secure.

When it comes to moving companies, few have the experience and dedication to customer satisfaction comparable to 3 Guys Moving. We’re a moving and storage company that has been in business for more than three decades. Our long distance and local movers have extensive experience handling all types of moves. And, if you have a need for piano moving, our piano movers are among the best in the business. Don’t settle for just any full service moving company.

The Right and Wrong Way to Pack

in Moving & Storage, Warehouse Space

As a packing and moving company, we specialize in ensuring our customers’ belongings safely make it from one place to another. Our movers and packers take pride in their jobs and whether you are packing yourself or they are packing for you, it is important to keep some key factors in mind. Our next series of articles will cover tips to help make sure your belongings are properly packed.

USE QUALITY PACKING MATERIALS

Quality packing materials can make all the difference! Be sure to use heavy duty boxes and packing tape. Flimsy or lightweight boxes can easily break or crush. Cheap tape can come loose. When taping cardboard boxes, be sure to securely tape the top and bottom. Wardrobe boxes are excellent for transporting clothing. If you choose to use our movers and packers, we will bring all the right supplies to ensure your belongings are safe and secure. If you plan to pack yourself, our full service movers can provide you with packing materials upon request.

WRAP FRAGILE ITEMS

All fragile items should be tightly wrapped in either bubble wrap or quality packing paper. Our movers and packers recommend you also wrap any item that has the potential of breaking. This not only provides extra padding, but also prevents damage from items that may come into direct contact with one another.

Our next article will cover more packing tips to consider.

We’ve been in business more than three decades and our full service movers treat our customers like family.

Avoid These Common Moving Mistakes

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

Re-locating involves more than just moving your belongings from one place to another. It is an enormous undertaking requiring careful thought, attention to detail and planning. 3 Guys Moving is a premier packing and moving company with both long distance and local movers. We have more than three decades of experience and during that time, we’ve learned a bit about what makes a successful move. Let’s take a look at three common mistakes to avoid when making your next move.

FAILING TO PURGE

Moving provides an excellent opportunity to purge items you no longer need and start anew. Most people are hoarders to some extent. Items we have an emotional connection to or associate a good memory with are sometimes difficult to let go. Going through items such as clothing, outdated or broken furniture, old appliances and mattresses before the moving company arrives will help you purge items you no longer need.

PACKING

Another common mistake people make when moving is in the area of packing. Waiting until the last minute to pack can be a recipe for disaster. Not properly packing your belongings can present problems as well. 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company so if you wish to avoid some of the pitfalls of packing, let our movers and packers handle it for you.

NOT BEING ORGANIZED

Taking time to plan and organize your move can help avoid much stress. Make a checklist of tasks in the order they need completed. Assign family members to handle these tasks. If you plan to use a full service moving company, just make sure the items you wish for the movers and packers to handle are organized and ready to go.

When it’s time to move, a full service moving company can alleviate much stress by handling the logistics and details of the move itself. Our movers and packers are experienced, efficient and treat your belongings like their own. We also are one of the few moving companies with extensive experience in piano moving. No move is too big or small for our full service movers. When you are ready to re-locate, we can help. Give your friends at 3 Guys Moving a call today!

Items You May Wish to Reconsider When You Move

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

We are continuing our series on items you may wish to donate, sell or discard before you move. As a moving and storage company, 3 Guys Moving has learned a lot since we started our business more than three decades ago. We value our customers and try to pass on some of the tips and lessens we’ve learned along the way. Our previous article discussed evaluating what clothing, appliances and mattresses you wish to take with you. Here are three more areas to consider:

FURNITURE

Antique furniture and/or family heirlooms are examples of the types of furniture you will probably always want to keep. However, old furniture that is out of style, broken, or will not blend with the décor of your new home should be donated or discarded, preferably before your movers and packers arrive. Moving old furniture to a new location with the “intention” of replacing it later often leads to procrastination. If you don’t plan to use it, get rid of it now.

TOYS

While it is tempting to hold on to your children’s old toys, those they no longer use or have outgrown become clutter. Consider donating them to another family or non-profit organization before your moving company arrives.

ITEMS YOU’VE NOT TOUCHED IN OVER A YEAR

Perhaps you have boxes in your attic that you have not touched in years or old knick knacks stuffed in the back room. Before moving them, consider whether or not you really need them. Your movers and packers will be happy to transport them, but if they can be donated or discarded, consider doing so before you make your move.

When it comes to moving companies, 3 Guys Moving has earned a reputation for being qualified, honest and customer oriented. Our long distance and local movers want to help ensure you move is smooth and stress-free. We can handle all types of items and are one of the few moving companies that specialize in piano moving. Don’t trust just any packing and moving company with your precious belongings. When it’s time to make a move, your friends at 3 Guys Moving will be here for you. Give us a call to learn more today!

Not All Items Are Worth Moving

in 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.

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.

Costs to Consider When Making a Move

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

PART ONE

Let’s face it, moving can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. One way to alleviate financial stress is by setting a budget for your upcoming move. We are beginning a new series of articles on costs to consider when planning your move. Let’s take a closer look at some line items you will need to include in your moving budget:

UTILITY DEPOSITS

Find out what utility deposits you will need to connect water, electric, natural gas, etc. into your new home. If you are moving locally and already have services, you may not be required to make a deposit. If you are establishing new services, be sure to find out all costs associated with each service.

PACKING

Whether you plan to pack your belongings yourself or hire movers and packers, there is a cost associated with packing. If you take on packing yourself, you need to consider the time it is going to take you and cost for supplies such as boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and packing tape. If you plan to hire packers, a packing and moving company like 3 Guys Moving has experienced movers and packers who can provide you with a packing quote.

CLEANING

You will need to factor in cleaning costs for both your existing residence and your new home. You may be required to clean your old residence after the movers and packers take your belongings to your new home. You may also wish to clean your new home before moving in your belongings.

Our next article will cover three more costs to consider when planning your move. 3 Guys Moving is the preferred packing and moving company in Tampa, Florida.
