Moving Advice From AMS of Raleigh

Moving can be difficult, there’s so much to think about with preparations, cleaning up, packing boxes and that’s besides the selling your place and finding a new one part. To add to all of that, you also have to notify your post office about your change of address and maybe get involved with home repairs and learning all about your new neighborhood.

All My Sons of Raleigh knows the transition can be less than pleasant, but we’re here to help with random tips involving the process of moving. We hope you find these useful.

Let’s start with the obvious, which is to make moving day a smooth or smoother ride. Make sure you hire a moving company with a great, solid reputation. Check how long they’ve been in business, check what kind of licensing they hold, check their policies and compare their estimates with other moving companies. Referrals are also a great way to know whether or not the moving company is reliable. Of course, if you’re moving within the Triangle and Triad area, just trust your business to All My Sons Moving and Storage of Raleigh. We’re a family-owned moving company that’s locally operated.

We specialize not only in residential moving but also office moves and relocations.

Another good moving tip is to get rid of the extra clutter and things that you don’t use anymore. Throughout the years, we’re sure you accumulated a bunch of stuff including knick-knacks, items that don’t work anymore or are damaged, old school books, old kids toys, extra appliances like a second and third blender, candle sticks you don’t use and plain old junk that probably haven’t seen the light of day in months and even years. Throw all of that out before you start packing. If you find that you have a lot of stuff that are still in good shape but that you wouldn’t want to bring to your new place, then hold a yard sale or give it away to charity.

 Packing the right way can really make moving a whole lot easier since packing dabbles into the entire process. It affects a lot of the steps involved in moving. Packing like a pro will protect your belongings, it will keep the stuff from moving while on the truck, and you’ll be able to unpack easily when you’re in your new home. All My Sons of Raleigh suggests you make sure you don’t either over-pack or under-pack your boxes. Try to keep items inside that are related to each other. Label the boxes with what room they belong to, you can even add a description about the items found inside. Some people also color code the boxes. You can wrap the delicate things inside your boxes with sheets or towels even. This will help you use less newsprint because that can stain some of your stuff. Packing right really helps moving smoothly.

 Hold regular open houses, especially during the weekends. That’s when most people have free time and are looking for housing. Make sure your house is staged, that there’s no clutter or mess, that the beds are made and that the place smells nice. You can use air fresheners or candles to disperse a good odor in the house. Also you can add some style to the house and make it more up to date with the times with little decoration pieces here and there that won’t cost you too much, but will add value to the place. Think matching pillows for the couch, maybe even a touch of paint to spruce things up. It’s also a good idea to take off or put away picture frames with pictures of your family, that way potential buyers can envision themselves living there. You can also have your realtor, if you’re dealing with one, present to answer questions.

When dealing with potential buyers, All My Sons of Raleigh suggest you sell not only your home but your neighborhood too, especially if you’re in a great location. Mention parks, public schools, local supermarkets, five-star restaurants and even your neighbors. Having good neighbors is way up there on people’s priority list.

 Make sure the price of your property is competitive compared to the rest of your neighborhood. Study the recent comparables of other homes on your street and price your house accordingly. You can aim a little higher if you’ve had renovations in the last few years or if your place has major changes compared to other places like central heating and air conditioning, hardwood floors, new windows and so on. Get online to check for comparables on sites like Trulia.com.

Hopefully these tips will help you sell your house fast, so you can move into a bigger and better one. All My Sons Moving and Storage will be there to help you move without any hassles or stresses.

The Raleigh Movers Help You Deal With Remodeling

With home prices being so low compared to past years, many first time home buyers are sprouting around. Of course, a home is not always as perfect as we want it to be, so many people are opting to buy at a good price and remodel the home. Contractors are also feeling the effects of the housing bust and so they’re offering discounts and bargain prices to homeowners. All My Sons of Raleigh, your local Raleigh moving company, is here to help you with tips and advice on finding the right person to remodel your home. Whether you’d like an entirely new kitchen or just new tiles in the bathroom, it’s important to find a good, reliable contractor. Especially, if you’ve just moved in and have a few minor tweaks here and there, you really want to make sure you get it right.

The one major advice the Raleigh local movers can give you is do your research. Your future contractor should really meet your expectations, in terms of the quality of the job and also the timing. You should contact a few of them and ask them questions. Ask if they’re licensed, if they have insurance, ask for references, ask how long they’ve been in business and so on. If you feel strongly about one or two candidates, you can even ask to see a project they’re currently working on. Remember, you can always ask for friends and family or even your new neighbors to refer you to someone who can remodel.

The Raleigh moving company, All My Sons of Raleigh, also suggest you voice your opinions and expectations. Don’t let any detail slip you by. Talk about the timeline too. When you expect the job to be finished and when the contractor expects it to be done. That can be two different dates, and if for example, it’s your kitchen you’re remodeling, it can be tough if the project drags for too long.

Other things you should watch out for is making sure they’re using the products they promised you in the initial stages. Make sure they’re not saving money at your expense. You may ask if you can buy the products and materials with them. This way you get to make an informed decision with their help plus you’re sure they’re not making an extra profit on the side.
