Moving Services for a Stress-Free Move

Have you tried reflecting on the previous moves you have done? How smoothly did they go? Were there any ways you could have made them easier? If you’ve decided to move, picking good moving services in Tampa is always the most difficult decision. While a lot of websites, ads, and telephone pages offer you contacts of local and distant moving services, getting the right one can be a real challenge. Remember that moving furniture require a little extra care, simply because most furniture pieces are large and can’t be packed in a box. It is best to keep the search going until you find the right moving company for you.

When you are short in budget, you tend to go with the option of asking friends and family to help with the move; little do you know that it can be more trouble than it’s worth. Moving services on the other hand avoid exhaustion that hits halfway through moving day. Moving service companies also have the proper equipment, materials and training to guarantee a smooth move. Whether you want someone to pack up your belongings or just move your furniture from your home to the load and into the new home, qualified movers in Tampa will save you a lot of time and stress.

When having moving services help you, make sure not to be tight on the budget. Less-than-reputable companies have been known to lowball the estimate to get your business, and then pad the bill on the back end. Or the low estimate could be a sign that you might not be getting professional crew, or the moving services company will subcontract your needs to another firm. Being keen in agreements will save you more money than you think. You should always ask the moving service company about extra costs that might apply to your type of move. These may include charges for moving things up and down the stairs and such.

Never make the mistake of forgetting to insure your valuables during a move. It is best for you to ask your moving services company what their liability insurance cover and weigh whether the basic liability insurance are enough if the movers break some of your appliances.

 images
One of the most taken for granted furniture pieces are kid’s furniture. This may be due to the fact that children outgrow them and they get replaced over time. Still, kid’s furniture should be dealt with care especially during furniture delivery. Kid’s furniture should be very sturdy. Hence, they should not receive any beating during the process of moving or deliver.

Here are some tips when dealing with kid’s furniture whether you are moving to a new home and paying for moving services, or buying a new one and relying on furniture delivery men.

1. Safety first.

Choose furniture pieces that are sturdy and durable. Kid’s furniture receives lots of beating from their users. Children are very curious and they play around a lot. Double check for any safety hazards like loose safety bed rails or unsecured bunk bed ladders.

2. Go for space-saving options.

Look for kid’s furniture that has variety of functions to save space. Some beds have headboards that can also serve as bookcases. Some bunk beds have stairs that can also be used as stairs. Plan wisely so that you know what your needs are.

3. Style matters.

Children grow fast so it is recommended to stick with furniture pieces that can last for a long time. Kid’s furniture with frilly designs might fit your seven year old princess but not your teenage rocker. It will be practical to choose classic furniture designs.

4. Pre-loved is good, but brand new is better.

Kid’s furniture receives one heck of a beating from kids. With pre-loved furniture, you won’t know how much action the furniture piece has already received from its previous owner. It is highly advisable to shop for new kid’s furniture so as not to compromise your child’s safety.

5. Prepare a budget and stick to it.

Yes, quality should never be compromised over price. But you can still find good deals in Tampa, FL if you know where to look. Apportion specific amounts for the furniture pieces essential to your kid’s room. This way, you do not overspend.

Moving Services 101: U-Haul Truck Rentals

images

Change is the only permanent thing in our lives. This may come in the form of moving from one place to another. When you move, you probably would bring your valuable things with you. If you have lots of stuff, they may not fit your car. The wisest advice that anyone can give you is to look for u-haul truck rentals. But not just any truck for that matter; the truck should be of the right size with a trusted name.

Finding the right u-haul truck rentals is important for two reasons: one, a right sized truck-for-rent allows you to maximize the space without overpaying, and two, a trusted name with a good reputation assures you that your valuable items will be delivered unscathed. U Haul trucks are the most popular ones across the country. They have a large fleet of trucks which gives clients more options to choose from. U-Haul truck rentals in the country also offer storage options compared with companies that do not offer U-Haul truck rentals.

Before you start calling u-haul truck rentals, determine first the size of the truck that you have to rent. Standard sizes of u-haul truck rentals include 350 cubic feet, 750 cubic feet, 1,250 cubic feet, and 1,550 cubic feet. Here are some tips to help you know which one you should rent:

  1. Make an inventory of the things you are bringing with you. Separate those items that can be stacked from those that cannot be stacked. Separate the larger ones from the small ones. This helps in planning the positions of the items that you will place inside the rental truck.
  2. Measure the dimensions of your furniture, shelves, appliances, and other equipment. This will determine the dimensions and number of boxes you will need.
  3. Estimate the amount of cubic feet that your stuff will occupy by measuring the volume in cubic feet of each box and furniture that you have. Add these individual measurements, and choose the size of the rental truck based from this.

These three things should never be forgotten when looking for u-haul rental trucks. With the proper truck size and brand name, you can rest assured that your belongings are traveling safely while you are on the road.

Moving Service: Is It For Me?

images

“Should I hire a moving company?” is a question that worries people on the move. The answer, of course, depends on several factors including time, money, and the complexity of the move. Moving across Pembroke Pines, FL may not require you to get moving services. However, moving across the state or the country will certainly make you get one.

Before deciding on whether or not you need to pay for moving services, take time in answering these two questions.

How much stuff do you have?

The number of things that you will move will certainly affect the cost of your moving. Most companies offering moving services count the number of bedrooms to determine the cost of the service. The number of bedrooms determines the truck size needed to transport your things. Here is a sample truck-size guide from U-Haul:

  • 26' = 4+ bedrooms
  • 24' = 3-4 bedrooms
  • 17' = 2-3 bedrooms
  • 14' = 1-2 bedrooms
  • 10' = an apartment

If you are not bringing all your stuff to your new place, tell it to the moving company. Some companies that offer moving services also offer storage services to their clients.

How far are you moving?

Distance is another determining factor in the cost of your moving. Truck rental companies have different rates depending on the distance between Point and Point B, as well as whether you are moving one-way or return. One-way moving costs 50% more than returns.

Aside from truck rental, you also have to factor in gas costs and mileage. Once you have an idea about these costs, compare it with the price that you have to pay if you hire moving services. Go for the option which makes you save money.

The Final Decision

Once you have answered those two questions and decided that you need to call moving services, then it is time to find which moving company you will hire. Most people recommend that you hire a moving company that also offers storage services. The packing will certainly make you sort the things that you use from those that you don’t. Why bother moving the things that you don’t use in your new place? It will only take an extra storage space. So if you cannot get rid of them due to personal reasons, the best way is for you to pay for storage services in Pembroke Pines, FL. This way, you won’t be bothered by extra baggage as you make your move to your new home.
