Weeks after Hurricane Irma made landfall on south Florida, many parts of the Florida Keys are still left in devastation. The category 4 storm hit the Florida Keys on September 10, destroying an estimated 25 percent of homes on the islands, leaving other parts with major flooding, damage, without electricity, and worst of all – a rising death toll.

In an effort to help fellow Floridians, the moving professionals at All My Sons Moving & Storage of Fort Lauderdale teamed up alongside the Florida Panthers, the Dan Marino Foundation, South Florida Ford Dealers, and other local businesses to bring relief to those who were most severely affected by the widespread disaster. Thousands of items were donated and the efforts were organized at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, the home of the Florida Panthers.

On September 19, Florida Highway Patrol Officers and Sunrise Law Enforcement escorted 20 plus trucks, loaded with over 80 pallets of donations down to the keys, weighing in at an estimated 30,000 pounds of supplies. These pallets were full of items the Keys’ residents needed the most: nonperishable food, water, batteries, and other necessities donated by south Florida residents.

The Fort Lauderdale moving company, All My Sons Moving & Storage, sent two of their moving trucks with a team of drivers to assist in hauling the 80 pallets down. They were able to make multiple stops throughout those areas most affected, including Big Pine Key, Cudjoe Key, and Key West, delivering supplies and offering assistance.

This #FloridaStrong initiative showed how the south Florida communities came together in a time of disaster to help our fellow Floridians. All My Sons Moving & Storage is committed to assisting those impacted by Hurricane Irma.

Using storage during the moving process allows you to move more at your own pace. Instead of rushing to get everything packed up, moved, and unpacked, you can slowly transition items you don’t use often, or only use seasonally, to a storage facility, then transfer them to your house at a time that works better for you. If you’re moving to Salt Lake City or moving in the area, the movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage suggest climate controlled storage facilities to preserve your items. With climate controlled storage, you don’t have to worry about your items being threatened by high heat, low temperatures, warping, expansions, dust, pests, or other external factors that can ruin their value. Here’s why you should consider climate controlled storage in Salt Lake City:

Your possessions have a high monetary or sentimental value

Looking to store high value things like wine, computers, televisions, or other expensive items? What about items that mean the most to you, like photos and family heirlooms? Leaving them in too hot or too cold of conditions is the fastest way to ruin them. Climate controlled storage facilities can be set to accommodate and preserve your items. Remember, it costs less to store valuable items than it does to replace them.

You’re not sure how long your moving process will take

When you’re not sure how long your move will take, climate controlled storage facilities are great for hanging on to the things you might not need right away. In many situations, you don’t have much control over the timeliness of the process, due to external factors like jobs or leases. Don’t add another item to your list of things to stress about – when your items are in climate controlled storage it doesn’t matter how long the move takes – your items will be in the same condition you left them in.

Moving day is right around the corner. Unfortunately, the weatherman is calling for rain in the forecast on your big day. Now you must weatherproof packing products to be ready for moving in the rain. All My Sons Phoenix moving company is here to help.

Grab a large supply of plastic bags in multiple sizes. These are ultra-helpful for rainy days, from makeshift ponchos to keep you dry as well as a poncho to keep your hanging clothes dry. Also, with smaller bags you can throw the items you are packing in them, tie them off, and place those filled bags in the boxes ready for any rainy-day move.

For larger items like furniture, wood shelves and that mattress you love so much, we recommend shrink wrapping so you’re prepared for any torrential downpours. Investing in furniture covers as one of your weatherproof packing products is worth it to preserve that expensive furniture during a rainy-day move. Most of your cloth furnishings will have a tailored plastic covering that can preserve them and keep them from getting damaged. As for moving boxes: double up on packing tape. As good as it is, the extra tape will water proof the openings and help weatherproof packing products. Don’t be afraid to tape the edges of all your boxes as well. A little extra sturdiness to the boxes will only help if they get wet.

Other items you must go the extra mile to protect are your electronics. Individually wrap electronics in plastic and secure with packing tape. Once secure, place electronics in a proper waterproofed container and securely close with packing tape. Depending on the significance of the weather, it is recommended to waterproof the box your electronics will be placed in even though you individually wrapped your electronical pieces.

Labeling is a key factor for the avoidance of inclement weather damage. Largely and clearly label the pieces of furniture which cannot get wet. Make large labels that can clearly be read by your Phoenix moving company for “UNLOAD FIRST” or “CANNOT GET WET.” These are just some examples that can come in handy during the chaos that happens when everyone is running around and rushing to stay dry.

Upon arrival at the new house, make use of your garage if you have one. Transport as much furniture and boxes from the truck to the garage in the shortest distance as possible. The large garage door opening is perfect for quick movements as you carry boxes through the rain, without the worry of fitting through a smaller door opening.

For some added cover, if you have access to tents, tarps, or anything that can be used as high head cover, do yourself a favor and set it up. This will give you some relief from walking through puddles and bringing some of that rain water in the house. Also, moving on a dry surface reduces the chances of falling.

If you must move through the rain and have no head cover at all, map out what you transfer from the truck to the house. Look for things that can get wet like plastic tubes or objects that won’t be a problem moving in the rain. Then when there is a break in the action or the droplets slow down, take full advantage of those items that cannot get wet.

As the drops keep coming and the boxes steadily unload, assign someone as the dryer. Have them stand inside with some towels and wipe off your belongings that can’t stay wet for an extended period. You could also have rotations of this position so every gets a break and takes a fair share of the heavy lifting.

Pro Tip: Remove items upon arrival. Too often, many people arrive at their new house and their first thought is to run inside without grabbing anything off the truck. It’s raining, make the most of your trips from the truck to the house.

If bad weather is expected for the day of your move, one solution is to hire professional packers if you simply don’t have the time or products to properly weatherproof packing products yourself. Your Phoenix moving company has the packing products necessary to handle any type of move, including moves in inclement weather. Additionally, hiring professionals to properly pack everything won’t cost much more than buying all the packing products to ensure the safety of your belongings.

Finding moving companies in Tulsa to handle your move is going to be one of your top priorities before moving into your new home. Naturally a moving company like All My Sons Moving & Storage who has been offering full-moving and packing services in Tulsa for over 20 years is the ideal company to go. No other moving company carries the same reputation for providing quality moving and customer service. Still, it’s always a good idea to compare prices and services. To do so, it’s important to understand how to recognize a bad moving company in Tulsa.

Do your homework on the moving companies in Tulsa that interest you

Moving scams are an unfortunately common part of the industry and it’s something that inexperienced movers need to be aware of. Before hiring moving and packing services, do some research on different moving companies and read their history of customer complaints, name changes and licensures. Also, make sure the company has at least a satisfactory rating from the Better Business Bureau and no unresolved complaints on file.

Ask for a written estimate

All My Sons Moving & Storage and other reputable movers will provide a firm estimate after performing an inspection of the home and its contents. Tulsa movers need to know how much stuff you have, whether particularly heavy, valuable, or awkward pieces need to be moved, and if stairs or narrow doorways are involved at either end of the move, and many other details that will affect their costs. Moving companies that try to provide an estimate over the phone are a huge flag. These companies will often provide you a quote over the phone or online and then include hidden costs after services have already been booked.

If you’re going to do a Do-It-Yourself packing plan for your move to Knoxville, you have to do it right. That means getting the best packing products, packing supplies and using the right techniques to avoid the big headaches that can occur while on the road.

Depending on the size of your house and how much stuff you have will determine how many boxes you’ll need. But you can’t use just ordinary boxes. You need to get your hands on high quality moving boxes to guarantee they can have other boxes stacked on them and that they survive the trip to your new house.

It doesn’t end there. You will need to purchase packing tape. Scotch tape and even duct tape won’t survive the move. Packing tape is designed to be more reliable than traditional tape and the purpose of securing boxes to the fullest.

You got your high-quality boxes, your packing tape, what’s next? Well, it’s not enough to throw some items in a box and hope for the best. There needs to be some cushioning in there for fragile objects. You’re going to have to pay a visit to the cushion king and get some packing peanuts so your moms favorite vase survives the bumpy ride home.

Make sure those gas tanks are filled. Depending on the type of car you have and the distance you’ll be traveling will determine how many times you’ll need to stop at the pump. Just don’t be surprised when you have to make multiple stops at the gas station during the long haul.

Miami, FL – The Miami Dolphins on Thursday in partnership with All My Sons Moving & Storage, delivered three trucks of relief supplies for Hurricane Irma victims in Southwest Florida.

The Miami Dolphins Foundation delivered water, baby supplies, baby food, paper good, food, clothing and hygiene kits to Lee County Electric Cooperative at the Immokalee Service Center and Cape Coral Hospital.

The end of the move is finally here. Your boxes are unpacked, all the rooms in your new home are set up, and you’re ready to finally relax. But wait – what are you going to do with all of those packing supplies sitting in the corner of the garage? You may not be able to think of another reason to reuse those packing peanuts or bubble wrap, but before you throw them out and waste your money, consider these 3 ways to reuse packing supplies, courtesy of your San Antonio packing professionals at All My Sons Moving & Storage

Boxes:

The number one culprit of leftover moving supplies, boxes are also the handiest when it comes to reuse. Boxes can be reused around your house as organized storage, trash cans for messy items like paint or chemicals, or you can use cardboard boxes for mailing packages during the holidays, or for a birthday.

Packing paper and Newspaper:

Cut your holiday spending by using newspaper or plain packing paper to wrap gifts instead of costly holiday-themed wrapping paper. Newspaper can also be used to eliminate odors from shoes by the front door.
Packing peanuts: Packing peanuts can be used as a drainage system for potted plants, or used to create wall designs when repainting a room.

When all else fails – let the kids play with it! Boxes can be used to create a fort, packing peanuts can be painted for decorative appeal, and newspaper or packing paper can be used to make signs.

When moving in to your new home, your floors can get absolutely destroyed if the proper steps are not taken to provide them with some type of protection. Protection from what? Muddy shoe prints, the daily mishaps from pets knocking things over, or nails scratching the flooring. Not to mention the furniture that’ll be sliding all over those floors on moving day.

Here are some quick tips to ensure the quality of your floors stay intact when moving day arrives.

Clean your floors before moving anything in.

Carpet, hardwood flooring, tile, and vinyl all have specific cleaning agents to protect and preserve the flooring to extend its life. These products should be included when you are purchasing packing products.

When moving your furniture, do not place your couch and other fittings on a dirty floor. You will end up cleaning around the dirt and when you decide to switch up the living room that grime will have set and left behind stains/discoloration.

Essentially, your flooring can get ruined in one spot and then the entire floor needs to be replaced.

Prepare for Heavy Traffic

It’s moving day, so there will be a ton of movement from outside to inside and vice versa. Be prepared for this.

After cleaning your floors, use old carpeting as a safety net for any incoming traffic.

If you have enough people, determine inside people and outside people as an extra precaution.

Furniture can be heavy. Place non-slip plastic down to not only protect your floor during a move but to prevent any accidents which may occur.

If you want to go the extra mile. You can provide shoe covers for anyone coming in the house.

Visit our blog for moving tips

If furniture is not moved correctly it can scratch, crack, and destroy your flooring.

Remember to not drag. There are floor pads/sliders for heavy furniture that cannot be lifted and moved around.

Protecting your floor during a move is not the only asset that needs protection. The furniture itself can be damaged. Use moving blankets to avoid scratching and scuffing your furniture.

It happens all the time where the mere prospect of preparing for a move is stressful. This is understandable given how much work needs to be done for a move to be successful. One of the more stressful aspects of moving is the packing process. Purchasing packing supplies is challenging if you’re not used to moving. Then applying the same packing techniques that All My Sons Columbus movers use is another. However, here are some ways to making packing for a move to Columbus easier:

Get Started Early

There’s no going around it, packing is a long and tedious process. Even packing a small apartment can take days or longer to be completed. The only way to truly get through it is to do it. The sooner you begin putting things in moving boxes, the sooner it’ll be over. The absolute last thing you want is to have items unpacked when your Columbus movers arrive.

Pack One Room at a Time

There may be a mountain of work to do, but you only need to tackle it one pebble at a time. Begin packing the kitchen and work your way around your home. Don’t put items from different rooms inside the same box.

Organize Your Inventory

Keep track of what you’re packing and what you need to get rid of. Don’t bother bringing unused or unwanted items to your new home. All this does is take up valuable space in your boxes and the moving truck. Use packing labels on your moving boxes and if possible, color code them to make it easier to unpack. If you have enough time and patience, make a checklist of items so that you don’t forget anything on moving day.
