Not every move is the same. This is very clear to your local Salt Lake moving professionals, but that is because we move more times in a day than you do in a year! Your move is one of a kind, so it is important to know how to break your move down so that you really know what you’re dealing with any time it is time to move locally or long distance.

How much service do I need? How long will my move take? What are the absolute heaviest items that I need to move? Am I moving any thing out of the ordinary that my Salt Lake City mover should know about? These are the types of questions you need to be asking yourself when it’s time to draw up moving plans. The amount of service you need may be a lot less than you think, and if this is the case you have a golden opportunity to slash your moving costs significantly. The amount of time taken on your move is likely going to have a direct effect on the total cost you’ll end up with at the end of the day. Certain variables such as: total square-footage of your home; the number of stories in your home; how heavily furnished your home is; etc, are all indicators of how long your move will take. The important objective here is to make sure and hire professional movers with full time employees and a good reputation so that you know your moving team is going to hustle on the job. Heavy items and specialty items such as pianos or grandfather clocks are items worth mentioning to your potential Salt Lake mover; extra labor may be ideal with heavier pieces, and special equipment or license may be necessary to ensure safe handling and delivery of your more delicate belongings.

The list can go on and on; everybody’s move is unique. And your Salt Lake City movers here never neglect to treat your move as the unique project that it is. If you have a simple move, you probably already know it, and you can call your movers up at a moments notice to get on the schedule for your move date. However; for larger moves or more complicated jobs, a free in home estimate may be your best bet for a flawless moving game plan! When you’re moving, you gotta get your head in the game, just like your professional Salt Lake movers!

There are some opportunities that should not be passed up. You just moved with talented Salt Lake City area movers, had a fantastic moving experience, and wish there were a way to tell the world about your new-found love for the reputable movers in Salt Lake. Shouting from a rooftop was a little dangerous, so you’re at a loss for ideas? How about submitting an entry for your Salt Lake City mover’s jingle contest? There is still time to compose a masterpiece for your favorite Salt Lake movers. Take this opportunity to show your love and appreciation for your local movers in Salt Lake City and you just may win a cash prize!

Are you moving in Salt Lake City to a new home? Much of the time the home is only new to the person taking occupancy. Moving into a previously-lived-in home, you will undoubtedly run into wear and tear around the house. If you have purchased this new home, odds are it is in pretty decent shape, but there is always room for improvement. I would like to offer some food-for-thought that will hopefully inspire those soon to move into a new-to-you home. A little bit of effort goes a long way, and may inspire you to start other home-improvement projects as well. Before your Salt Lake City mover arrives to deliver your furniture, consider the following simple improvements for your new home:

• Doors and windows are an excellent starting point. Think about how often you open and close your doors and windows. Over time, these access points do succumb to wear and tear. Replacing the weather stripping along door and window frames is a smart and easy fix as this improves the appearance of your home, and the efficiency of your air conditioning and heating appliances. This should be pretty self explanatory and also very simple to do. As for any hinged doorways; over time a squeak is likely to develop as moisture can cause rust, and friction can cause an accumulation of tiny metal shavings inside the hinges. It is best to remove hinge pins so that the door can be removed and the hinge components cleaned out and lubricated. Any petroleum based lubricant such as WD-40 will work well. Take this opportunity to tighten the mounting hardware on each hinge as these become loose over time. Tightening the hinge screws should fix most stuck doors also. You may want to use sand paper to file down the top and/or sides of any doors which stick even after the hinges have been fixed. Also, survey each doorway in need of new door stoppers. Avoiding doorknob holes in your wall is one way to keep your new home nice!
• Light switch and power outlet plate replacement is also a simple effective fix for your new home. If these plates are in need of replacement, you may even choose to upgrade all of them to a different style/color. There are many different styles of switch and outlet plates to choose from, you’ll surely find a style that grabs your attention. While you are in the process of removing your old plates, take this opportunity to insulate behind plates on the exterior walls of your home. Energy efficiency repairs are very advantageous and are often simple fixes.
• The walls of your new home may be in need of some quick fixes. If the previous owners of your home hung pictures, there may be several nail holes in your walls. These are simple to repair, just apply a small wad of putty into each nail hole and smooth it out with a knife. A fresh coat of new paint doesn’t hurt either after your nail holes have been filled. If you notice pealing wallpaper, there is a much quicker fix than fully replacing it. Simply spread a liberal amount of paste on both sides of a note card or sheet of paper. Place the paper applicator between the wall and the wallpaper, and flatten the pealed wallpaper against the pasted paper so that the glue is applied evenly. Then slide the applicator back out from between the wall and wallpaper. Pat down the wallpaper one more time to make extra sure that the paste is well applied and then use a damp cloth to clean any excess paste that may have squeezed out from under the wallpaper.

There are plenty of simple inexpensive repairs you can perform on your new home. The better your new home looks, the more excited you’ll be about having your Salt Lake City movers finally deliver your furniture on your moving day. Be sure to hire a reputable Salt Lake City mover so that the walls floors and doors of your newly spruced up home remain in good shape.

I spent the better part of my undergraduate years in the Salt Lake City area. There’s a lot to do and see in Salt Lake. Moving to Salt Lake? If you’re an outdoorsman, you have the Wasatch Front right on your doorstep. If you’re more of a city slicker, Salt Lake City has a lot to offer for urbanites too. I thought I’d distill Salt Lake City down to the essentials. These are places I would gladly go again if I ever head back that way, and that I think shouldn’t be missed by newcomers.

They’re in no particular order, and feel free to skip any of them if you’re not into the same things I am. Click here to learn more.

It has been quite a momentous week here at All My Sons Moving & Storage! Summer is just around the corner, and we’re kicking into high gear for moving season!

Moving can be a tough task to tackle, but with the proper planning, it is thoroughly astounding how quick and easy your move can be.

Why is moving so stressful? If you have a fifty-inch plasma television mounted above your living room fire place, the answer to that question may be staring you in the face on a nightly basis! Moving is stressful because your most prized posessions along with the contents of your entire house must simultaneously be transported safely to your new home, and you can’t very well accomplish this mission on your own. You could guilt trip friends and family into devoting their weekend to you. But what good is your plasma tv if the once crystal-clear screen shatters teaching you, your brother, and his friend a tough, tough lesson? What good are friends and family if they suddenly ignore your phone calls after a not-so-fun weekend? Do you really want to kick the summer off with a back injury you sustain thinking you know how to safely move your couch up two flights of stairs? Clearly the muscle of a moving company is the route you should take this summer. But be careful, and avoid unprofessional companies! All My Sons Moving & Storage is far from unprofessional I’m very proud to say! It may be that it has been years since the last time you moved to a new home, but we moved yesterday, today, we’ll move tomorrow and each day until your next move!

So here it is the night before Father’s Day I’m thinking back to old memories of family and friends – and spending holidays together. To any fathers that are reading this Happy Father’s Day!

I went to the Hogle Zoo - I wanted to see the animals, and just relax…

The Hogle Zoo was great! I saw a lot of great folks and had a lot of fun watching the animals… It was like a trip down memory lane… It reminded me of going to the zoo when I was a little kid. It also brought back other memories, memories of fishing and going for drives…

It also brought back some of those not so fond memories – like having to move. I remember moving as a child, the hot summer sun beating down on us, Dad being upset, yelling, the headaches, and all the body aches.

The funny thing is the last time I moved I didn’t even have to do it myself. I used a Salt Lake mover. I know – I know it seems like each cheating – but now I never want to move myself again. I used All My Sons Moving and Storage. The guys came out, they wrapped up my wooden furniture, and I didn’t even have to unpack my dressers! They disassembled my bed; they even reassembled it, and put everything where I wanted it to go! Now I never want to have to move myself again! Looking back I wish dad would have used a moving company…

From your favorite Salt Lake movers, Happy Father’s Day!
