New Year’s Moving

Are you looking to move during the holiday and New Year’s season? One of the best presents can be selling your house and moving into your new one before the new year. A “For Sale” sign in front of your house can do wonders for the holiday spirit. And it is even better to celebrate New Year’s in a new home with all of your family celebrating the new year with you!

New Year’s Moving

New Year’s Moving Benefits

During the warmer seasons, our schedule is nearly completely booked. Your best bet for a timely move is during winter or early spring. Not many people want to move during this time and we have more openings. Furthermore, you have more time to yourself during the warmer months to be outside or enjoying your new home instead of unpacking boxes.

Also, if you want to store your belongings as you move during the winter, our storage units are more available in the winter than in the summer. So, if you do not feel like unpacking right away or would just like to put some stuff in storage before a big New Year’s Eve party, our storage facilities are open to you!

Looking to Move During The Holiday Season?

Moving over the holidaysAre you looking to move over the holidays? Men On The Move makes moving in the holiday season easier with cheaper prices, storage, and open schedules.

With other companies, moving in the holiday season can be difficult. Preparing for the holidays is stressful enough for some, but adding packing and moving your household to the already long list is even more stressful. Finances, time restrictions, or even snowy roads can put a damper on the moving process. But here at Men on the Move, we can help you avoid some of the troubles that come along with moving during the holiday season!

Why Men On The Move for Holiday Moving?

You do not want to move yourself during the wintery months. Whether you are pregnant, injured, or a senior citizen, moving in the winter can be dangerous. You can slip on ice and break your belongings or worse, yourself. Men On The Move has professional movers that are used to moving in all sorts of conditions. Also, we can move your belongings for you safely.

Do you like being cold? I don’t think anyone really does. While we are doing the heavy lifting, you can stay inside your warm and cozy house. We will run in and out from the house to truck while you stay warm, then there’s no chance for you to get sick.

Do you need a place to put things during the move? We have storage facilities that you can store some stuff that’s not crucial over the holidays. For a great price, you can relieve some of the stress caused by unpacking. And we will help you move your belongings to and from our storage.

Contact us today for more questions on moving over the holidays or to schedule your long distance or local residential move in Michigan. You won’t regret choosing Men On The Move.

How to Manage Temporary Residential Moves Between Your Old and New Home

If you’ve ever experienced the stress that is involved with temporary residential moves you know stress. Managing your life while closing on a home or waiting for your apartment to be ready certainly qualifies. Even though your home isn’t ready for you to move into, you have options. We’ll walk you through your options and even give you a few tips.

Temporary residential moves

Managing your life in between homes can be done! It just takes planning.

If You’re A Renter…

See If Your Landlord Will Give an Extension

See if your landlord can work with you with the move out date. Explain the situation and they may be willing to work with you. In some major cities, this is harder to do, and your landlord may prorate the days you stay longer.

For storage ask the new landlord if you could store stuff at your new place while they get it ready. Some times they are willing to do that.  Be wary, however, sometimes there isn’t a way for things to stay safe and your items could get damaged. Local moving and storage companies are great because not only will they store your items, but they’ll also move them when you are ready.

Dorm and College Moving
Moving from the dorms back home or to your first apartment? You can make it easy with dorm room moving companies like Men on the Move. We help college moves all the time and can assist with yours!

Temporary Storage

The biggest thing you’ll have to account for is where to put your stuff. You need a secure place that will keep your personal items safe and secure. Yes you could ask your friends, but no one wants to put people out like that for long periods of time. If you’re waiting for your home to open up, and think it may be a while, you should look into temporary secure storage spaces.

If you need a company that can house your stuff temporarily, we here at Men on the Move can help. See our secure storage page for details.

Temporary Housing

You yourself will need a place to rest your head. There are a few options for you depending on the time frame of which you’ll need to. For short term displacement, family or with a friend is probably the safest and easiest. Be wary of looking on Craig’s list or random posts. Extended stays at hotels can be an option, many offer discounts if not in travel or business  centers. There are temporary spaces to rent, such as short term leases and single month leasing. You’ll have to do some research and price compare to see what your best option is.

Living With The Basics

If you are moving your stuff to a storage container, we recommend thinking carefully about packing. Put non-essential items in the back, and items you’re more likely to use in the front. Boxes you would want to consider keeping closer to the front: Office items, any kitchen items you can’t live with out (coffee maker we’re looking at you), and clothes that you may need. 

Pack an “essentials” Bag and Box

Make sure you leave one box (a personal bag) filled with items you will use on a regular basis. Much like a “vacation bag” pack like you’ll be gone on vacation. Clothes and toiletries you’ll need and any items you’ll want on a regular basis, make sure they are accessible. We highly recommend having an entertainment bag, a personal bag, and an odds and ends bag (for kitchen items you can’t live with out and other odds and ends that you’ll need). 

For all your moving needs, choose Men on the Move to assist. We can help you with packing supplies, short term moves, temporary storage!

 

Moving Before the Holidays

Moving Before the Holidays

Soon the holidays will be upon us. Your home will be filled with friends, family, and new memories will be made. If you’ve recently bought a house or your lease at your current apartment is up, then you may be experiencing crunch time before the holidays.

Moving before Thanksgiving or Christmas can be extremely stressful if not done right, so knowing the proper tips and tricks can help. The biggest hint: hiring a moving company to move you before the holiday’s start.

Get Your Move Done By Moving Before the Holidays

The best way to make sure you have enough time before the holidays is to hire a moving company that can get your move done as quickly as possible. Men on the Move can help make your residential move as low stress as possible. This time of year is stressful for everyone, so asking friends and family for help isn’t ideal.

Save yourself the trouble and hire us to help you before the holidays get into full swing. Men on the Move have helped make the holidays happen for residential movers for over 25 years and we like to give out as many tips and tricks as possible.

Some Tips:

-Planning your move in advance. Knowing what you will need to survive the holiday season will be a top priority. Make those items the easy to get access to and easy to find.

-Remember the little things. Just because you are moving in between the holidays doesn’t mean you have to lose the little traditions. Make cookies, set out decorations, and remember what makes the holidays great.

-Don’t forget about the kids. If you have children make sure to remind them that Santa will find them at their new home

If you want to be able to get your move over quickly before the holidays, we can help. You need a moving company that has been proven time and time again. Men on the Move is the company for you. Get your free quote on your next residential move.

Moving from South Lyon to Port Huron Michigan

So you’re moving from South Lyon to Port Huron, well there are a few things you should know before making the official leap to the Maritime Capital of Michigan.

#1 You Will Love It There

Port Huron is a high tourist location with stunning views and enough things to do to keep you occupied on the weekends. A smaller city with a population of just under 30,000, Port Huron is quiet with enough of the “big city” to support great shopping. Port Huron is beaming with lots of great history that is well worth looking into. Thomas Edison grew up in Port Huron, the man who revolutionized how we use electricity.

#2 There is Tons of Sites to See

Moving from South Lyon
The Blue Water Bridge stands out to be the most dazzling site in the Port Huron Area. The bridge stands roughly 23 stories tall and just over a mile long. If you ever decide to take advantage of the value of the U.S. Dollar in Canada, the casino is a great place to go, right on the other side of the river.

  • The Fort Gratiot lighthouse sports a lovely tour where you can climb all the way to top for a 360-degree view. It’s the second oldest lighthouse in Michigan and rated as a must see! Be aware of your surroundings and make sure you see it at least once. (source: phmuseum)
  • The Maritime center sits right on the banks of the St. Clair River for a gorgeous view where you have access to all kinds of knowledge of the Great Lakes as well as coffee and donuts at the Waterfront Deli. There is even a live underwater camera!
  • Hopefully, you and the South Lyon Movers pass Pine Grove Park, one of Port Huron’s finest places to throw any kind of event, even a family picnic. The view is absolutely spectacular combined with excellent landscaping and nice people; it’s a great place to take nice long walks.

#3 You’re Not Moving Too Far Away

It’s a good thing there are moving companies near South Lyon like ours to make things a little easier! Sure, it might be a bit of a drive if you have relatives in South Lyon but hey, you’re only about an hour and a half from your previous home. Because it’s about 90 miles away, it is considered a long distance in-state move by Michigan moving companies, but it’s pretty much a two freeway shot via I-696 and I-94.

#4 Waterworks

There is a whole lot of water to play in even if your new home isn’t lakefront property. Summer is better than ever with city-wide activities like float-downs. Picture it now, it’s 78 degrees, you’ve got the next 3 days off and the only thing in front of you is a full inner tube and a cold beverage. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Not only that, though, you can go fishing any time of year, zip around on a Seadoo, go diving or just have a family outing on the boat. Nothing beats having access to Lake Huron! So, you if you’re planning to move or already have bought a place and are planning to move, these things should make you pretty excited. If you’re looking for help from South Lyon Michigan movers to make it hassle free, please consider your friends a Men on the Move!
