4 Reasons to Choose Mountain Moving

Posted on by

In between long hours at the office, family activities and other commitments, finding time to pack your belongings and move to a new home or office can be quite challenging.  The best way to reduce your workload is to seek help.  If family and friends are unable to assist, or the job is simply too tall a task, then it would be prudent to consider using a professional moving service.  Below is a list of 4 reasons why people moving from, in or around Weld County should choose Mountain Moving.

1)            Our clients can choose what level of service they want.  If you want us to handle everything, we can accommodate that.  Our premium level of service includes the entire process of packing, moving your belongings and setting them up for you within your home.  Alternatively, if you just need a service as simple as having some of our team members help you load and unload a truck, we can do that too, and everything in-between as well.

2)            Mountain Moving has a fleet of first-rate trucks that are uniquely designed to securely handle your cargo.  For example, we use horizontal rails in 12-inch increments inside the truck, which provides us with flexibility when we need to safely tie down distinctly shaped pieces of furniture.  Additionally, we periodically refinish our oak floors to ensure our client’s furniture does not scratch and will move seamlessly when being loaded and unloaded on our trucks.

3)            Our company can handle moves to anywhere in the United States.  We have worked with many clients who have had to relocate to faraway areas of the country, and we tailor our long distance moving service to meet their specific needs.   Plus, we have a specific procedure in place for long distance trips, and we do not mix shipments on these long rides to ensure your valuables will remain safe and secure throughout the long voyage.

4)            Each of our employees has years of moving experience, and can make your home or office move feel much less daunting.  Not to mention, the move will be completed much quicker, providing you with more time to become situated in your new digs.  Plus, we take tremendous care of your belongings to make sure they arrive in your new home or office in pristine condition.

The Benefits of a Moving Sale

Posted on by

A few weeks ago, we brought you four major advantages to hiring moving professionals. We determined that with these benefits, you could save yourself a ton of money in the end. Additionally, hosting a successful moving sale will help with any added costs you have to squeeze into your budget.

While it may be difficult to get rid of some of your belongings, a moving sale can benefit you more than just financially. Being harsh when making your cuts will lighten your moving load, and will help  you get into your new place faster. Also, escaping from the pile of clothes you’ll never wear again is unbelievably liberating.

Don’t just throw a table on your lawn and treat it like a garage sale though, put a little extra effort into your sale and you’ll be impressed at the results.

Tips for a Successful Moving Sale

First, separate some of the nicer things you plan to sell, and see what the eBay market is like. Don’t forget that we’re living in the digital age- so many people are thrifting and antiquing online now.

Don’t find yourself without enough change, if you can’t make change for a twenty dollar bill- chances are your potential customer will just say “oh, never mind”.

Price the objects to sell, not to make money. After all, these are your hand-me-downs, so don’t expect top dollar pricing for these things.

Try to categorize tangibles by use or room, making the browsing easier. Doing this will keep people at your sale interested and focused.

Make bulk deals and discounts for those purchasing a few objects, this will save them money and ensure you get rid of everything, including things they might have been on the fence about

It’s amazing what a bit of public marketing can do, tell your neighbors and friends about the sale when you announce your move. You can also ask your kids or friends to help you make signs, directing traffic to your moving sale.

A great way to ensure that you sell everything that must go- is to have the sale a month early. This way, you can try a second attempt with lower prices, and you may get an entirely new crowd! If you have any excess tangibles, donate them to a local thrift store, because you’re still rewarding yourself by clearing the clutter.

2)      Various moving options.  If you are person who works longs hours, raises a couple of children and are constantly on the run, then chances are you are not going to have much, if any free time to pack.  Hiring a moving company gives you the option of having everything done for you, including the packing.  This will save you time and prevent headaches. Moreover, it will ensure you aren’t losing sleep trying to pack boxes a few days before the big move.

3)      Well-trained professionals.  Professional movers can move all of your furniture, boxes and other belongings in a lot less time than it would take you and your helpers.  Plus, all of your belongings can be properly arranged, allowing you to only have to worry about unpacking boxes.  Moreover, if a piece of furniture has to be broken down, or an alternate plane has to be formulated on the fly, you can bet the professional movers have already encountered a similar situation and have the experience necessary to find a quick solution.

4)      Hiring a professional moving company can actually help cut costs.  Depending on which type of service you choose, hiring a mover can actually save you money in the long run.  For instance, if you have to buy packing supplies, boxes, rent a moving truck etc., those expenses will add up quickly.  Additionally, you may be forced to take time personal time off work just to pack and move, again costing you cash.  Paying one upfront cost for a moving package may be your most economical option.

The reasons people move are often as unique as the person. There can be a number of driving forces behind a transition, but knowing you are not alone during the process can often make the move a much smoother, healthier one. At Mountain Moving, we understand that each person’s needs and wants are different and we want to ensure that our customers always know their precious cargo is our top priority.

Knowing your goods are being cared for by us, in packing and loading or just by providing the transportation, our customers are free to focus on the other part of the move – the emotionality of it all.

It can wreak havoc on the mind when you consider your reasons for the move. If you are moving your business you are surely thinking about the new location and customer base. You’re focused on your new space and whether you’ve made all the right decisions from a business-standpoint.

If it is the contents of your home and your family are involved in the move it only makes sense that you are concerned for the well-being of everyone and everything. Will everyone settle into a new place, a new routine and a new lifestyle?

These are rational thoughts and ones that shouldn’t be taken lightly. After all, the decision to move wasn’t on a whim. So treat your emotions with the same care.

Mountain Moving gives you the peace of mind you need for a smooth transition. The process can be a relatively painless one and will help you adjust to your new surroundings.

Top 5 Moving & Storage Supplies

Posted on by
  1.     Boxes & Permanent Markers – You can never have too many boxes! Cardboard boxes are a great way to organize your things and once they are all packed and ready to go, boxes stack and store much easier than bags. Use your permanent maker to label the box and you are good to go!
  2.    Packing Tape – Duct tape can virtually fix anything, and packing is no exception! Tape up your boxes and make sure they are secure. Clear packing tape also works great for packing up your boxes. Keep a few extra rolls around; you never know how much you will need until you run out!
  3.   Wrappings – Newspapers, bubble wrap, packing blankets and moving pads are ideal to keep your belongings safe during the move. Bubble wrap and newspapers are great for your smaller belongings, whereas the moving pads and packing blankets will help keep your lager items and furniture safe.
  4.    Flat- Bed Cart – These are great for hauling larger items from one end of the house to the other. Instead of dragging one box at a time, a dolly will make it possible to move multiple boxes, cutting down on your moving time.
  5.   Sturdy Storage Lock – If you are moving your belongings into a storage unit, investing in a good self-storage lock is not to be overlooked. With the amount of time you took in packing your belongings, you will want to keep them safe.
