Moving Along with Your Moving Preparations

Is it almost time for your move this summer? A few weeks can pass by quickly, and you want to make sure you’re not caught off guard by the time moving day comes around. Beat procrastination and set aside time this week to call your moving company for some quality moving boxes and packing materials.

All My Sons Moving & Storage will deliver a variety of moving boxes and packing supplies to your door at no charge, but check with your moving company to make sure the service is offered. You will only pay for what you use, so don’t worry if you have extra moving boxes lying around. There are various types of moving boxes you can request, including dish packs and wardrobe boxes. Dish packs come equipped with separated cubbies for glasses and mugs. Wardrobe boxes are tall and come with a cardboard rod to hang your clothing on. Of course, I also have boxes of all sizes for anything from bedding to books.

If you’re looking to collect some used moving boxes, beware that a used box is structurally weaker than a new one. Ask your moving and storage company for gently used boxes, or stick with new ones. The longer your belongings will be in moving boxes, the sturdier the box should be. Naturally, my coworkers and I are here if you have any questions before, during and after moving day.

 

Cure Your Home Storage Woes

Trash those moth balls for good!

A childhood memory recently popped into my head as I was thinking about how moving and storage processes have matured over the years. My family utilized our attic to store our winter clothes during the summer and vice versa. I remember pulling a favorite sweater out of a cardboard moving box, the pungent and medicinal smell of moth balls permeating each piece of clothing in the box. Yuck! It seemed like it took weeks to get the smell out.

While storage is easy and convenient at All My Sons, some of our customers prefer utilizing closet, attic and shed space for their storage needs. New products are now on the market and offer protection for your items, without the stinky moth ball smell. Here are a few tips to help keep your stored goods in great shape.

1) While moving boxes are great to use during your move, avoid using them for storage purposes. Purchase a few large, sturdy plastic bins that seal tightly to keep out air, bugs and dust.
2) Take advantage of vacuum sealable products. These space-saving bags let you use your vacuum cleaner to pull air out of specially-designed, durable storage bags. Your items stay safe and, in the case of linens or clothing, take up less space than traditional storage methods.
3) Choose your storage area wisely. Remember that your attic can reach sweltering temperatures on even a mild day in DFW. Candles, thin plastics and plywood can warp and crack in extreme temperatures.

If professional storage isn’t for you, the Dallas movers of All My Sons want to make your home storage as convenient, safe and easy as possible.

 

Think Positive, Dallas!

Are you tired of hearing down news about the economy? Despite gas prices leveling out around $2 a gallon and recent reports that the job loss rate has decreased, the media is still focusing on the tough times of today. As a local moving company, it’s our job at All My Sons to be community-oriented and sensitive to our customers’ needs and personal situations. Because we deal with a very stressful, very intimate life-changing event such as moving, it’s important that our Dallas movers are as careful interacting with our valued customers as they are handling moving boxes and furniture.
Whether your move is economically related or not, All My Sons will treat you with the same respect and care we’ve been providing our customers for years. You don’t have to worry about price hikes, limited moving crews or any other shortcuts that other Dallas moving companies may take. Rain or shine, and good economy or not, our Dallas movers are here for you no matter what. Peace of mind is important to us and our families, and we want to provide what comfort and support we can to your family. It’s our job to brighten your day in ways you didn’t expect. Whether it’s a genuine smile from a helpful mover or fast service when you call our office, my coworkers and I know it is the details that count when it comes to moving in Dallas.

 

Hard-Knock Life for Dallas Movers

I had no idea what it took to run a successful Dallas moving company— and not only because successful moving companies are few and far between— until I started working for All My Sons Moving & Storage. The lives of moving employees, from the Dallas movers to the staff members and managers, are rough! Between the long hours, working holidays and not to mention all of the heavy-lifting, being a part of a moving company isn’t for everyone.

You have to have a heart for helping people, the patience of a saint and a sense of responsibility to succeed as a Dallas moving company employee. We look for all of these qualities when we carefully interview each Dallas mover and staff member we hire. Professional movers work in stressful environments that require a large amount of physical work, precision and expert knowledge. Freezing or 100 degrees, rain or shine, our Dallas movers brave the elements to bring expert services to our DFW customers. Unlike most of our friends, three-day weekends are our busy times! Holidays are usually spent on the job, which is an example of how All My Sons goes further to serve our customers.

If you hire our Dallas movers or any local movers in the near future, take the time to thank them for their hard work. Moving is a tough job, but someone has to do it! It might as well be the professional movers of All My Sons.

 

More Move in Less Time

I wish there were twice as many hours in the day, and twice as many days in a year! It seems there’s never time to accomplish everything you wish before the sun goes down, and that’s especially true when you have a move on your hands! I just finished moving to a new home, and by “finished” I mean all of my things made it to my new place. Nevermind the assembling, unpacking and putting away. Luckily, I was able to plan my move with the expert Dallas movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage. Just a few conversations have saved me endless hours of preparation and hundreds of dollars.

Calling All My Sons is like calling a trustworthy friend…a trustworthy friend with dozens of big, strong friends who happen to be veteran Dallas movers. An initial conversation takes a few short minutes, but each minute you spend planning your move with All My Sons is exchanged for several hours of worry, stress and scrambling to prepare.

Whether your move is months or even days away, my coworkers and I can work with you to make sure each detail is covered. Then, a team of professional Dallas movers will arrive to quickly and safely pack your belongings, load them and unload them safely into your new home. They will even reassemble beds and other furniture, set everything where you want it and unpack your belongings if you want them to! Talk about full service.

I didn’t take advantage of the unpacking services this time, but I’m sold if I move again. A week later I’m still swimming through moving boxes of unpacked belongings!
