Moving in the time of COVID

Moving During the COVID-19 PandemicMoving during the COVID-19 pandemic is scary for many people. The threat of illness and uncertainty around the quarantine is putting many people on edge. While some moving companies may not be taking the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe, here at Men On The Move, we are. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you stay safe during your move!

Tips To Stay Safe Moving During COVID

  • Hire a mover that is practicing CDC issued safety measures

To keep yourself and your family safe from COVID-19, you should make sure that the moving company you hire is maintaining all of the safety procedures set by the CDC. Here at Men On The Move, we are sanitizing our office locations and each truck daily. Also, our movers are wearing masks and gloves while still frequently washing their hands and taking their temperature every day. Due to the method of transfer present in the COVID virus, we ask each of our staff to provide a social distance of 6 feet or more. At Men On The Move, your safety during these difficult times is our priority.

  • Clean and Disinfect Your Belongings

COVID-19 is transferred through airborne droplets which can rest on surfaces for long periods of time. Therefore, before and after the move to a new home, you should clean and disinfect your belongings- especially hard surfaces. With so many people touching your things, you should make an effort to disinfect every item, even if handled cautiously and with gloves.

  • Wash your hands frequently

The best way to kill any germ is to wash your hands frequently. Washing your hands for just 20 seconds in warm water could be the difference between getting sick or not. When moving to a new home, you should not only wash your hands but also wipe down anything that is excessively touched by others. This includes; doorknobs, fridge handles, toilet handles, and anything else you can think of.

Here at Men On The Move, we are executing residential, long-distance, and out of state moves during the quarantine. We are treating each move and each client with the utmost safety. If you are interested in moving during these difficult times, contact us today for any moving services in Southeast Michigan or the surrounding areas. We look forward to hearing from you!

Rain, Sleet or Snow, We Move You

Moving during the wintertime can be tough. Not only do you have to worry about moving everything, but you have to do it in the cold, wintery snow. And let’s not forget that around this time of the year is daylight savings time. Although winter is probably the worst season to move in, we help move a lot of people, surprisingly. Men on the Move are experts, insured with excellent drivers.

House Preparation For A Move

When it comes to moving, it involves a lot of preparation. From planning your relocation to boxing your belongings up, the list goes on and on. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget to prepare for the actual movers because of everything that’s going on. Come moving day, your moving company will be ready to get the show on the road. To begin your move on the right foot, it’s best to have your house prepared for the movers ahead of time. Waiting until the last minute will just slow down the moving process. By simply making sure that your driveways and sideways are completely shoveled will avoid any unnecessary stress. Winter Move

**Please keep in mind not to use Rock Salt on your walkways, because of the horrible residue you’ll get. Instead, use a Calcium Chloride product. It’s a bit more expensive but well worth it.**

Winter savings – 3rd Man Deal

Did you know that during this time of the year, you can get our special deal on a third man to join our two men movers? Since local moving is charged by the hour, this can save you both time and money. We only offer this deal during the wintertime and for larger moves—if this does not make sense, please do not hesitate to contact us.
