Houston Movers Looking Forward to Winning Jingle!

If you haven’t yet learned that your family owned local movers here in Houston are currently holding a jingle contest, your time hasn’t quite run out yet.  Your movers here in Houston are in need of a catchy jingle to launch an upcoming television ad campaign which means we need you!  Here’s a little taste of a catchy tune you may soon catch yourself humming aloud regularly!  Think you can do better?  There is still time, don’t miss out!

Houston Movers Visit Auto Shop

photo: DvortygirlBeing in need of automobile repair is something that most people dread.  Going to see the car mechanic is something I generally avoid as much as possible.  When I do find myself with little choice other than bringing my car in to the shop, I always feel it necessary to build up my defenses to avoid being hoodwinked by an automobile expert who likely sees me as a financially exploitable resource.

Recently I did have an auto-mechanic experience which was absolutely painless; what a relief.  I went in for a simple oil change, expecting to be bombarded with sales pitches for parts or services that I didn’t even need I feared for my monetary safety.  To my surprise though, the mechanic was nothing like I expected him to be.  He changed my oil, filled my power steering and windshield wiper fluid reservoirs to their ideal levels, and filled a low tire with air for me.  When I asked if they would change my air filter, (something I planned to do regardless as I assumed it was needed) the mechanic was kind enough to spare me the expense informing me that my current air filter was still in excellent condition.  All-in-all my experience was relieving; no verbal battles ensued.  I could tell that the auto-mechanic cared about his customers, and I am willing to bet that he has quite a roster of loyal customers as a result.

It feels good to have an experience such as the one I had at the auto-shop.  To be in need of a professional service can be stressful.  However; when you know that your go-to service provider cares about you and truly appreciates your business, you almost look forward to each visit.  It is comforting to know that your Houston area movers here aren’t the only professionals in the area with a well rounded business plan.  Just like the gracious auto-mechanic, your Houston relocation specialists appreciate your business and care about your moving experience with us.  Our goal is to be your go-to mover, which is why we’ll never take advantage of you during your time of need.

Build On!

Every home and office is different too… Architecture has become a budding interest of mine; you can’t help but notice the different layout styles when you spend every single day moving people in and out of different types of buildings. It is fascinating seeing the many ideas that architects have brought to life, all of which start out as a blank piece of drafting paper. I wonder if architects ever think about professional movers when they draw up building plans…
I love seeing interesting home and office layouts! In my opinion, the architect should be free to create whatever home or office layout he or she wishes. Truly professional Houston area movers are skilled enough to welcome free creativity out of your architect if you’re currently having a house built. Maybe your new house will have a spiral staircase, or maybe your architect is envisioning narrow hallways, or oddly angled turns in your new home. Your local movers here in Houston welcome the challenges that may arise from your architect’s creativity! Tight angles, spiral staircases, delicate flooring, and more are no problem for professional Houston movers like us. Don’t settle for a boring boxy layout in your new home just because you fear a dangerous moving date. No matter what kind of house your architect dreams up for you, no matter what furniture we have to move to your new home for you; your Houston movers have it covered!

On the road again?

Growing up I remember having several classmates who were military brats.  These kids were required to move pretty often.   I remember thinking, that must have been hard.  They were forced to learn a new neighborhood, friends, school, sports etc., all over again.

Moving can be difficult on children as well as adults, however, with the proper support and resources your loved-one can successfully adapt to his or her new environment.  If you’re moving soon, plan ahead. The more you plan, the easier the transition.  Check with your local Houston moving company for resources to assist in acclimating you and your family to your new city.  Good moving to ya!

The Truth About Texas

When I graduated from college, I took a job in the insurance industry in Massachusetts. The pay was good, the place seemed nice, and frankly I’d never lived on the East Coast. I wanted to know what it was like. It seemed exotic and foreign to me.

It was also a long way away from my native Texas. There were things I wasn’t prepared for – especially New England’s brutal winters. Ironically, though, I found that people in New England seemed like they weren’t terribly well prepared for me either. ‘Texas’ seemed to be a word loaded with meanings to someone raised on the East Coast, and I didn’t seem to fit the bill for any of them. Anytime I was asked where I hailed from, I could see people’s brains lock up when they heard the name ‘Texas’.

“But,” they’d say, “you don’t have an accent!” It was true, I didn’t. And I still don’t. And I don’t wear a cowboy hat. And I don’t have a six-shooter. And I know nothing about herding cattle. And I’m not particularly stoic or laconic or tough or any of those things you see in the movies. I’m just a guy.

But since those perceptions seem to endure among people who’ve never been to the Lone Star State, I thought I’d devote a hub to debunking some Texas myths, and to providing some insight on this oft-fabled state to those who might be considering moving down here. As you’ve heard, it’s a big place, and there’s a lot to know!  Read this hub for more information.

Need moving and storage in Houston?

Summer will be over in just a few short weeks.  Kids are heading back to school and soon the cooler temperatures will blow…I can’t wait! As with any season, many individuals change draperies, bedding, move furniture around and change décor.  Are you considering changing décor and have no place to put your spring and summer items?  Years ago our grandparents used containers in the home and stored items with moth balls until the next season.  However, in today’s world even though our homes are somewhat larger than back then, we still don’t have enough space for our out-of season items.  Is that your issue?  Consider using a storage unit.  A storage unit could be a good remedy to store your items until spring and then add your fall and winter items for storage until the next season.

Now, this type of storage can’t be done by anyone.  For safe-keeping of your valuables you need a reputable Houston moving and storage company.  A first-rate moving and storage company will come and pick up your items, wrap them for secure transport and storage in their climate-controlled facility for any length of time.

I stress using a reputable Houston moving and storage company because there is no other way to ensure every item will be handled appropriately. Storing your items in this type of facility is just like leaving your items at home.  Every item moving into storage usually goes through inventory, is tagged and crated for storage. Your storage unit is generally accessible by you and the storage company’s staff only.  Normally with a simple phone call ahead of time you can have access to your items.

Houston Moving Company or Broker?

I recommend hiring a professional Houston moving company and not a broker.  Think about it, why go through another party when you can speak directly to a reputable Houston mover about your upcoming relocation?  Brokers are known for connecting customers with movers who advertise lower hourly rates but deliver a substandard level of service.  In some instances these type of moving companies will hold a customer’s belongings until he or she pays a substantially higher amount than otherwise agreed upon. 

Moving scams are becoming more and more prevalent.  Avoid this type of move by hiring a first-rate Houston mover whose services and skill speaks for itself.

Houston movers can handle your cross country relocation

Your journey overseas should encompass a few key ingredients, namely a quality moving company to cover all of the details associated with an international move. Moving out of the country is a task for an experienced Houston moving company. Whether you’re moving to Paris or Dubai, you need a professional and seasoned mover who will supply you with first-rate care.

Your Houston mover should advise you with tips on clearing customs, moving according to schedule, and establish a time-line to assist you in preparing for your move.  The security of your valuables is always a concern.  A professional Houston moving company will put your mind at ease with the level of skilled packing they provide.

When should I book my move?

Moving in Houston soon and wondering when to book your move?  Once you’ve solidified your move day and arranged your destination address you can book.  Some moves require more preparation than others, so booking a move at least six months out is wise for long distance and international moves.  Booking a local move six months out is cool too if you’re ready.  Most reputable moving companies in Houston are suited to handle your move booked ahead of time or at the last minute. When you call to receive a free quote from a local Houston mover, don’t feel pressured into booking.  Only book when you’re ready, but keep in mind there are times when moving is hectic.  We are in that time right now.  The spring and summer months are the busiest time of the year for moving companies.  Arrange your moving schedule and then book your Houston move.

Choose stress-free moving in Houston.

These days we have so many choices.  The world has made it rather easy for us to pick our favorite food, music, movie etc.  Now-a-days it’s right on the corner, at the click of a mouse, or even at one touch of our finger via our phone.  It can sometimes be overwhelming, but all in all choosing is good. 

When it comes to choosing a moving company in Houston to conduct your relocation, you must choose the right one.  Moving can be an overwhelming feat.  However, when you employ a topnotch Houston mover, you will enjoy a level of stress-free moving that is unprecedented.  Why hire movers and still be tensed?  A moving company is designed to take the load off.  Do your research my friend.  Stress-free moving is in your grasps but you must choose the right Houston moving company to achieve it!  Click here to learn more about stress free moving.
