Dear valued clients,
Our business is continuing to operate as we navigate the current COVID-19 situation, and we are adapting our operations by practicing social distancing, and reiterating the practices of good hygiene, like frequent hand washing, providing hand sanitizer and gloves for the moving crews. We are also offering virtual onsites for current/ future clients during the current situation. We will do our best to keep our current clientele informed of any changes to current/ future moves.

As our client, your safety and health is our #1 priority during this state of emergency. Please consider the following guidelines to prepare for your move with us:

⚠ADVICE FOR CLIENTS REGARDING SETTING UP CONDITIONS FOR A MOVE: • Upon our arrival, please have your residence/ office/ items as ready as possible (cleaned/ sanitized and ventilated in advance) for the removal of your items. • It is recommended that you/ your representatives will keep, at a minimum, 6 feet of distance from our crew. Our crew members will keep, at a minimum, 6 feet of distance or more at the time of service. • You will assure continuous ventilation of the spaces we work in at all times. • Please provide dedicated bathroom(s), equipped with soap and paper towels for our crew members.

⚠LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES OF MOVING COMPANIES AND THEIR RIGHT TO CANCEL WORK (NATIONAL LOCAL MOVES): The Government has stated it is or will be implementing (as yet) measures to combat the spread of the virus. Such measures in place might impact our ability to provide services to you (including but not limited for us having to suspend or cancel in full the services) or the virus otherwise affects our ability to fulfill your relocation. This may place us in a position where we will not be able to accept any ability for any losses that may arise and we limit our liability accordingly. We are keeping the matter under careful review and will ensure that all customers are advised of any developments that may affect fulfillment of contracted services.

As our team at Homegrown Moving Company has been following updates, we are choosing to work with & adhere to the guidelines set forth by health officials and authorities. We want to do our part in mitigating the impact and spread of COVID-19 to the businesses and communities we serve, and we are implementing the following strategies to do so:

We have discussed with our team members what to do in the scenario that anyone is experiencing symptoms or may have been exposed to the virus. We have an understanding among ourselves to be transparent if somebody's not feeling good or may have been exposed. We understand the need to self quarantine for the proper amount of time, if this occurs, to avoid any further spread. In turn, we ask the same from our customers. In the event that you are feeling sick or may have been exposed, we are happy to make arrangements for another move date.

Use of examination gloves: Our teams will wear examination gloves while servicing moves as an additional hygiene measure and self protection. Gloves will be discarded after each move.

Due to the high demand of masks, we are unable to provide them at the moment, but if you would like masks to be provided for your move, please provide them and we can use them.

Our team will also have hand sanitizer, and we ask that they are allowed to use a sink or water source to wash their hands when available. Social distancing: Upon arrival to our customers' homes or offices, team members will follow the protocol of social distancing, allowing 6' between team members and you, our customer. We have always valued the professionalism and respect that accompany an introductory handshake, however during the COVID-19 outbreak, we ask that our customers understand for safety purposes that we will refrain from shaking hands or making physical contact.

Proper ventilation: In move settings when available, we request that our customers open outside doors and/or windows to increase air circulation. All of the above will be effective immediately and remain in place until April 20th, until we can reassess the situation and make further announcements. We strive to continue to practice CDC/ Federal / State/ WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines for health and safety to prevent contagion in our community.

Thank you, Homegrown Moving

7 questions you should ask your movers

Choosing a reliable and experienced moving company is the most important part of the relocation. Whether you are moving locally or searching for a long-distance moving company Denver you want to ensure that your belongings are safely delivered to your new home. Relocation can be a tiring and overwhelming experience. It involves many activities such as packing, labeling, disassembling furniture, etc. Good movers can facilitate this process and turn it into a pleasant experience. However, you must do your homework and find a company that fits all your needs. These are the 7 questions you should ask your movers.

How to find a reliable moving company?

Doing thorough research is key. Find company reviews on specialized moving websites such as Better Business Bureau (from the highest A+ to the lowest F), previously submitted reviews and complaints, business details, and accreditation details. Also, ask your friends and family for a recommendation. Perhaps they know someone who has moved recently. This will save you a lot of time because personal experience is invaluable. It’s important to make an informed decision so don’t be lazy and do your homework properly.

What is the date of the move?

There are many factors that can affect your moving date. Most companies will ask you to choose a spread of dates that suit you and give you a delivery window. The delivery window is a range of possible pick-up and delivery dates. Then they will call you a day before to confirm the exact date and time. Some companies can guarantee the delivery date but this is an additional service that is charged extra. If you are flexible regarding the moving date choose an off-season period when moving services are cheaper.

Are packing services included?

Packing is the most time-consuming part of the moving process. You have to organize all your belongings and decide what you want to bring into your new home. That is the reason why this is one of the 7 questions you should ask your movers. Some moving companies such as Homegrown Moving and Storage Company CO provide full service, packing included. On the other hand, if you decide to pack on your own make sure to gather moving supplies well in time. This includes cardboard boxes, tape, markers, packing paper, bubble wrap, etc. Protect all your belongings and label the moving boxes.

One of the 7 questions you should ask your movers is: Do you provide moving insurance?

Most moving companies provide valuation coverage for your belongings. Movers are not obliged to reimburse you for the full value of damaged or lost items. They simply ensure compensation for your belongings which isn’t related to the actual value of your goods. Valuation coverage is a predetermined limit stated in the moving contract at no extra cost. It is usually set at 60 cents per pound per article. The other moving insurance option available for home movers is full value protection. This means that the moving company is liable for the full value of your items but this is charged extra.

Are you properly licensed?

When hiring a moving company make sure that it is properly licensed. This is extremely important to avoid moving scams. All professional interstate moving companies should have a license number issued by the United States Department of Transportation. local moving companies who only relocate customers within the same state should hold a state license. Fraudulent moving companies offer lower prices to attract customers, but they don’t offer compensation in case of damage and can even hold your items hostage.

What’s the cost of the move?

Most home movers have a predetermined budget so one of the 7 questions you should ask your movers should be about the cost of the move. You can get a free moving estimate on companies’ web sites by using the quote tool. However, it’s always best to request an in-house moving estimate which is also free of charge. Your moving contract should contain the final cost. Also, make sure to ask whether there are any additional charges and check the cost of any special services you might require.

Are there any potential charges I’m not already aware of?

This is one of the reasons you should avoid unlicensed moving companies – there are usually hidden charges. Nevertheless, you should always ask whether there are some costs you are not aware of. There are different factors that can affect the cost – accessibility of your home, very heavy and bulky items, international move, etc. Remember that all add-ons and extra charges must be included and clearly laid out in the quote.

Do you provide special services?

If you require any special services make sure to mention that to your movers. For example, moving a piano requires certain preparation, tools, and expertise. Also, fine art, sculptures, and any special items call for a careful procedure and delicate handling. Fragile items and delicate belongings should be properly protected with packing materials to cushion them. That is why it’s best to leave these tasks to professionals.

Make sure to tell your movers in advance if you need any special services

Conclusion

Moving is a stressful but exciting period. The move doesn’t start on a moving day, but weeks even months before. You must have a solid plan and prepare carefully for the big day. Choosing the right moving company is crucial. Good movers will handle your possessions with care and offer great advice. And, if you follow our advice on the 7 questions you should ask your movers, your relocation will be a positive experience. Good luck and enjoy your new home.
