The summer gives plenty of reasons for people to hit the gym and get into shape fast; looking good while relaxing on the beach greatly increases summertime enjoyment! If you’re looking to move this summer too, chalk up one more reason to start exercising ASAP! The summer time is a great time to tone up and feel good in your swimming gear, but toning up isn’t all that exercising is good for. Given the exhausting nature of residential moving, the added benefit of supreme endurance is an especially beneficial bonus for all gym rats with summer relocation plans on the calendar. However; if you have better things to do, your Sarasota moving professionals are in prime physical condition all year round, and are still available to handle your summer moving needs!

When you are finished moving in Sarasota to your new home, you are often left with a lot of empty boxes. You don’t have to let your moving boxes take up space in your new home; there are lots of ways to put them to good use! One obvious use for your boxes is for storage. Seasonal clothing, Christmas decorations, and even vacation gear can be packed away into labeled boxes and stored up in the attic or in a closet until the time comes to pull them back out again. You might even want to use one big box to hold the rest of your boxes (folded and flattened) until your next move! Aside from being useful to store belongings, your used moving boxes can also be a lot of fun for kid’s arts and crafts projects. Building a big cardboard fort is one of many fun ideas your kids may find for your empty moving boxes after moving, and a fun time such as this is a great way for your kids to cut loose after a moving day which may have otherwise been not-so-enjoyable for them. If nothing else, you can post an online ad telling those in need of moving boxes that yours are up for grabs; this helps people who are moving find moving boxes and helps you de-clutter your new home at the same time!

Do you work out of your home? Then you may already know that your expenses which are tied to any Sarasota relocation services you require can be written off as tax deductions. Furthermore; if you work out of an apartment your write-off benefits may be increased, especially if you live in or around Sarasota or any other large city. Costs such as rent, renter’s insurance, utilities and more are subject to be deducted which means more money in your pocket! If you have moving stress on your mind, you should be able to eliminate a bit of it with this knowledge! And you can eliminate most if not all of your remaining stress by trusting your move to one of the most reputable moving companies in Sarasota.

Football fans nation wide are all biting their fingernails in unison right now as the NFL lockout keeps players and league officials at odds. Every professional sport is susceptible to a lockout like the NFL faces now, and until the players are satisfied with the status of their future salaries the likelihood of the season starting as planned hangs in the balance.

Players’ refusal to play if they’re not financially happy makes sense, and in the moving industry, there is a very similar concept. When you shop around for the best Sarasota relocation service provider for you, you may consider hiring the guys with the cheapest rates. What you may not consider is this: The mover with the cheapest rates must pay their employees the least, which likely means the men working your move are unhappy and unmotivated to do a superb job. Furthermore; the lowest paid movers may not possess the skills necessary to work for a more generous employer.

Your Professional movers in Sarasota boast that ‘professional’ prefix because the movers on their team possess some serious talent! Since they are talented, they are more than welcome to play for our team and are well taken care of when it comes to salary. When your movers are happy to work for the company you hired, your move is both very quick and very efficient! In the end, THAT is what saves you money and keeps your personal property safe; the definition of a move well-done!

Last night’s Academy Awards have come and gone, leaving home audiences sadly disappointed as is apparent from the unforgiving commentary scattered throughout the web and news stands today. The Oscars were essentially gutted and reformatted from the ground up this year, part of the objective was to appeal to younger audiences; hence James Franco and Anne Hathaway as hosts. As is quite often the case, new things don’t always work out the way they were planned on the first attempt.

Fortunately for you, professional movers in Sarasota of the highest caliber never try new things with your stuff! Modern moving techniques are mastered during training exercises which take place in our warehouse and with our own belongings. You’ll never receive relocation services with anything less than 100% effort from our movers. Franco and Hathaway may have been playing a different ball game than the game your movers play here in Sarasota, but it is a game we play daily and a game we play exceptionally well!

So if you weren’t able to see Inception, The Social Network, Toy Story 3, and wished that you had; you can see those and more closer to the end of the month this month. Maybe you were too busy moving in Sarasota last year to catch some of the movies you were looking forward to. Don’t miss out on this excellent offer!

Your local Sarasota movers are fully insured. Not just experienced, not bonded, actually insured! So what does it mean for a moving company to be insured? It can be rather confusing for the average person as moving happens maybe once every year or less for most people. One important thing to understand about moving companies is that you want professional movers. You want an insured company because there are regular evaluations of insured moving companies; local moving companies that maintain insurance coverage are movers who have the least percentage of accident claims filed against them. Actually, MovingInsurance.com reports that their affiliate moving companies have a claims/loss ratio which is 50% less than the nation’s average for moving companies; and yes, your family moving specialists are among the proud bunch of relocation service providers on that list of MovingInsurance.com affiliates.

Moving companies which are insured have a much higher quality relocation service than most, but there is still information that you should know if you are looking to move any time soon. In most states, it is not permitted by law for moving companies, insured or not, to provide an actual insurance policy for their shippers (customers). “Basic protection” of your household goods provided by your Sarasota mover is a good thing, as it indicates a small percentage of claims, but only covers sixty cents per pound per article you are moving. What this means is:

• Your mover, if insured, is not likely going to have any accidents while moving you.
• Though your mover is insured, should any accidents happen while on the job, the moving company is limited by state law to offering only a small percentage of compensation which won’t likely cover the total cost of any accidental damage.

There are options available to anybody who is in the planning stages of a local or long distance move. One such option is to purchase an insurance policy which does provide ideal coverage of your property. MovingInsurance.com is one such source for not only insurance, but also useful moving insurance information. Your Sarasota movers are devoted to providing your hassle-free and accident-free relocation services, but accidents can happen to anybody. If you have high-value belongings, purchasing a moving insurance policy might be a good idea for you. Regardless of your moving insurance decision, hiring professional Sarasota movers who are insured is the first step to a pain-free moving experience. What do you think?

As the year winds down and a new year winds up, we are in for some pretty exciting times. With new years parties, year end vacationing, family and friends; these are some of the most memorable times of the year. The end of the year is a perfect time for celebrating, to sing and dance, to make the year’s final fuzzy memories.

The end of the year isn’t always just fun and games though. Sometimes, in addition to preparing for a new year, preparations for moving to a new home are in order as well! There is no need to cancel any new year’s plans just because you are moving locally in Sarasota though, or even moving long distance. Your best bet when planning a move is to hire professional movers in Sarasota. It is especially important to hire professional movers when planning to move during the holidays. Only a reputable moving company in Sarasota can complete your move smoothly and quickly so that you still have time (and sanity) to enjoy year-end events. The holidays need you, ring in the new year in your new home with your trustworthy neighborhood movers here in Sarasota!

The holiday season can be a tricky time for most. With extra expenditures in traveling, gift giving, holiday parties and get-togethers, one is often under heavy stress during the holidays. Especially if you are moving in Sarasota during the holidays, strategic money management is important this time of year. There are plenty of methods for saving money these days, so don’t ruin your holiday enjoyment by over-stressing. Here are several ideas for cutting holiday costs:

• Nobody wants a dim home during the holidays, and local thrift stores are an excellent source for affordable holiday decor as they are rife in donated lights, trees, stockings, wreaths and other such decorations. Thrift stores are quite picky regarding the quality of their inventory. Prices may be extremely low, but you’re still going to come home with beautiful ornamentation.
• Gifts are obvious expenses that we all must bite the bullet on during the holidays. However; it is the thought that counts. Keep this in mind! Your loved ones are not likely to judge your gifts by their price tags, which is why online peer-to-peer shopping sites such as craigslist and Ebay are fantastic sources for gifts. One man’s trash is another man’s treasured gift to his friends and family! You can and will find anything for low prices which are even negotiable, and you don’t even have to start your car to shop around. Don’t waste gas searching for a parking spot at your local shopping man, and don’t waste money by paying retail prices for items you can surely find on the Internet for far less.
• A holiday pot-luck is a great way for everybody to save on parties and get-togethers. Rather than hosting and entire dinner for your friends and family, invite everybody to bring their own dishes and refreshments to the party. Not only will a group effort save you money on celebratory get-togethers, it will also save you time which would contrarily be spent slaving away in your kitchen. Plus, the variety of dishes and refreshments will be more diverse ensuring that everybody will be happily stuffing his or her face!

Moving during the holidays is not always fun, but it definitely doesn’t have to hamper your holiday cheer. Be aware that, with any local move in Sarasota, you save money by hiring a professional Sarasota mover! Don’t be tempted to cut corners by hiring a moving company just because they have the lowest hourly rate you have found. Sarasota movers who offer you extremely low hourly rates sure aren’t sending professionally skilled movers to do your move, and inexperienced movers will end up costing you an arm and a leg when all is said and done. Additionally, be proactive and schedule your Sarasota mover as far in advance as possible. The holidays mean peak rates for those who wait until the last minute to hire movers. Make the best of the holidays this year, even if you are moving in Sarasota.

Damages are not something you plan for when moving. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember things do happen, so you should. When booking a move in Sarasota, I usually recommend adding additional insurance to your move. The moving industry is required to supply a minimal amount of insurance with each move. However, the required $.60 per pound, per item most often doesn’t cover repair or replacement. Adding additional insurance will help you with full coverage of your valuables.

If you didn’t insure your move, then you must contact your moving company with a report of the damages. They will in turn issue you a packet of information. This packet will most likely ask you to document your damages and provide proof with pictures. Once you’ve completed the packet, make certain you make copies for your own records. Mail the packet back to them. Certified mail is the only way to guarantee receipt. The Sarasota moving company or insurance claims office will contact you with a settlement for your damages. If in fact the settlement is not to your liking most movers offer arbitration.
