in Long Distance Moves, Military Moves, Moving & Storage, Piano Movers, Warehouse Space

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. Not all moving companies are equal. We’ve been in business for more than three decades and have worked with thousands of satisfied customers. Give us a call to learn more today!

At 3 Guys Moving, we are dedicated to helping your entire move go smooth. As a packing and moving company with more than three decades of experience, we assist our customers with everything, from planning and packing to moving and getting set up in their new home or office.

We are continuing our series designed to help you determine what appliances to take with you when you move. Our previous article discussed making a comprehensive list of all your appliances, noting what appliances you are contractually obligated to leave behind for buyers, and identifying what appliances are included with your new home/condo/apartment. Let’s look at three more tips to help you decide what appliances to keep and which to let go.

SHOP AROUND

Before you decide to get rid of your existing appliances, shop around to find out how much new appliances will cost. In some cases, it may be worth spending extra money for added features. And, sometimes it’s better to just keep what you have.

CONSIDER SPACE IN YOUR NEW HOME

Think about the space in your new home and determine whether existing appliances will fit. How much counter space will you have? Do you have a dedicated laundry room or are the washer and dryer hookups in the garage? These are all aspects to consider.

EVALUATE MOVING COSTS

Your full service movers are happy to handle any appliances you may have. However, be mindful of the fact that the added weight and space will increase your moving costs. 3 Guys Moving is happy to provide you with an estimate before our movers and packers arrive.

Moving can be stressful, but don’t fret. Your friends at 3 Guys Moving will be here with you every step of the way. And, since we are a moving and storage company, we can even store your belongings in our climate-controlled storage during an interim move.

What Appliances Should I Leave Behind?

Moving to a new home involves making many decisions. Deciding which appliances to take and which ones to leave behind can be challenging. 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company who has helped thousands of satisfied customers deal with these types of moving decisions. Our next series of articles will offer some insight on how to address your existing appliances.

MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU HAVE

Start with making a comprehensive list of all of your appliances. This may include large appliances such as washers and dryers as well as smaller items such as toaster ovens, hand mixers, wine coolers and air fryers. Once you have your list, rank the items: 1 – use daily; 2 – use weekly; 3 – use rarely. Then, look at the qualities and features of each. This can help you narrow your appliance list down to “must haves” and “optional”.

NOTE WHAT ITEMS YOU MUST LEAVE BEHIND

Your real estate contract may designate what appliances you must leave behind. Often times, buyers will request that appliances such as dishwashers, ovens, refrigerators and sometimes even washers and dryers become part of the sale.

NOTE WHAT ITEMS WILL BE AT YOUR NEW PLACE

Make a list of what appliances will be included in your new home/condo/apartment. If these appliances are comparable or better than the ones you already have, then the decision about whether to keep those particular appliances is much easier.

Our next article will cover more tips to help you decide which appliances to take with you when you move.

It’s Time to Downsize

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

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

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

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.
