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.

On tomorrow America will commemorate the 9th anniversary of 9-11. All sorts of images immediately come to mind when reflecting on that gruesome tragedy. Most individuals remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when word began to spread on September 11, 2001. The way we as Americans travel changed forever that day. In some instances, victims’ families were left to deal with the packing of their loved-one’s clothing and furnishings. While I’m sure you can’t ever plan for this type of devastation, knowing who to call in time of crisis is paramount. What type of Salt Lake City moving company do you call to handle your emergency moving need? Make certain it’s a first-rate mover with experience in supporting individuals and families with quality care in the most sensitive of times.

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.

When you’re looking to move to a new place there are a few things you should do before you actually move out. First inform your landlord that you’re moving. If you forget, you’ll owe a month’s worth of rent, even if you don’t live there anymore. Go over the move out policy. The policy details information about how you should leave the place when you move out. A lack of adherence to the move out policy in any way goes against a full refund of your deposit. Another mistake is not being present for the final walk-through of the property. You need to be present so you can attest to the items cited. Finally, not hiring a professional moving company is also a big mistake. If you don’t employ a reliable and reputable local moving company, you’re in danger of being prey to a moving scam or risking your personal belongings being damaged. Working with professional Salt Lake City local movers is really the best and least stressful way to move.

I’m happy to have had the opportunity to work with the professional movers of All My Sons Moving of Salt Lake City. What a bunch of pleasant and reliable people who know how to work efficiently and professionally. They moved really fast but were very careful with all of my stuff.

I have expensive furniture that I’ve acquired throughout the years and didn’t want just anybody handling my personal belongings, especially my prized pool table. I love that thing. Every week, I get together with a few buddies who come over for drinks, a good conversation and a great game of pool. So when I decided to move to a new house, I wanted to make sure that the pool table would make it in one piece. The Salt Lake City local movers did a great job transferring it onto their moving truck and driving it back to my new place. They even helped me place it in the perfect spot. Of course, all of the other not so important stuff made it safely back to my new place as well…lol. My televisions, leather couch, office equipment; because I work from home and everything else made it unscratched or broken. Everything was in one piece and set up in the right rooms. It was great working with these Salt Lake City moving guys and I recommend to anyone.

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! If you’re moving this weekend, or anytime in the up-coming summer months, you may not be as excited as we are about moving season, but you should be. 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!
