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

Best cities for renters in Colorado

Every person needs a roof over their head, and there are only two solutions for this – buying or renting a home. Each comes with unique pros and cons, but renting is what the majority of people choose. It doesn’t involve commitment, and many people cannot afford to invest in a home, especially not in today’s economy. If you are interested in moving to Colorado, because of its evolving economy, reasonable taxes, and nice climate, you are likely looking at what cities there are. Apart from the capital, which is also affordable, there are many other places that full service moving companies Denver has to offer can reach. So, these are the best cities for renters in Colorado.

What do you need to pay attention to when choosing the best cities for renters in Colorado?

Same as when hiring some long distance movers Denver has to offer, you shouldn’t just aim for the lowest price. Each city has a unique combination of pros and cons, and you should choose the one that benefits your lifestyle the most. If you only look at the housing prices, you can even regret moving. Taking everything into consideration, the top places for renters in Colorado are:

  • Longmont
  • Parker
  • Greeley

You shouldn’t just look for the lowest prices when searching for the best cities for renters in Colorado

Longmont

Longmont is a city in Colorado, located in Boulder County, 33 miles northwest of Colorado, in an area that is serviced by our Longmont movers, if you happen to require moving services. Close to 100,000 people call this city home. The city’s size is 30 square miles, which results in a population density of 3,572 people per square mile. They get to enjoy a dense suburban feel, with plenty of outdoor space and greenery. The median home value in this city is $423,000 almost twice as much as the national average. Rent, on the other hand, is $1,500 a month, only $400 above the average. Even though it is mostly a home-owning community, with only 36% of the population renting, there are plenty of properties for rent.

Parker

Parker is a suburb of Denver, but people often refer to it as a town. It is located in Douglas County, only 19 miles away from downtown Denver. It is much smaller in size and population than Longmont, with only 57,000 residents, living in an area of 22 square miles. The population density is 2,815 people per square mile. Many families and young professionals live here, and more make this place home thanks to our movers Parker CO. The median home value in the area is similar to Longmont, while rent is at $1,700 a month. But the better location and better job opportunities make up for the price.

Greeley

Greeley is the biggest of all the listed places, with 107,000 residents. Located in Weld County, it is close to the state’s capital. An interesting thing to mention about this place is that it has seen a population increase of 17% in the past ten years. This is likely due to the very affordable housing costs, both for renters and homeowners. The median home value is just above the national average, at $296,000, while rent costs a little lower than the average, $1,130. Since it is a densely populated place, with 2,324 people per square mile, you will mostly be able to find apartments for rent, with very few houses.

Whichever place you choose, our skilled moving team can get you there

As you can see, the best cities for renters in Colorado that we listed are located somewhat close to each other, around the capital. It is after all the center of the state, where most things happen, both business and entertainment-wise. Whichever place you choose, make sure to stay up to date with the things to do in Denver, so that you never miss anything. We wish you good luck with finding an affordable and good place to rent!
