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

DIY move pros

Total control over your moving process

Total control over your moving process can be a wonderful thing. You are determining your own schedule. Deciding what moving truck to rent. You can pack whenever and however you want. This means that you will have the flexibility to choose when to load a truck. Which packing materials to use. How your items will be packed. Exactly how they will be loaded into a moving truck. You do not have to deal with searching for reliable movers. Also, do not forget that when you are searching for movers you have to deal with comparing different moving estimates.

Beneficial for your budget

Everyone knows that you have to pay if you want someone else to deal with your move. And hiring movers can be quite an expensive treat. Of course, there are times when you can hire Evergreen CO movers and still manage to go cheap. But if you are not careful with hiring reliable movers, choosing additional services, and do not watch out on the hidden fees that can quickly arise you can easily break your budget. If you are moving on your own, you will certainly go cheaper. But, do not hope that you will be moving for free.

DIY move cons:

Total control over your moving process

Total control over your moving process is also among the cons of DIY move. Some people just do not want to bother too much with planning, gathering packing supplies, packing supplies, packing, organizing transportation, dealing with unexpected issues and so on. Moving on your own is hard. Even though it is beneficial for your budget, you have to deal with many things. It can be hard physically and mentally. And can cause a lot of stress. Therefore control over total control over your moving process is both pro and con of DIY move. It really depends on your personality and how you like to do things.

Lifting heavy objects

When you are moving on your own, on many occasions you will have to deal with lifting heavy objects. First, you will probably want to disassemble your furniture and that cannot go without lifting it and turning it at least a few times during the process. You will need to get it out of your old house and get it into the new one. Also, load it into and out of the truck. If you are not a bodybuilder, you will have a difficult task.

Pros of hiring movers

You do not have to deal with planning and executing your move

Planning and executing a move can be demanding work. You need to think about all the aspects of the process, create a precise schedule, and finally execute it all. If on top of that you do not have someone to help you, this can be an almost impossible task. On the other hand, if you hire Arvada movers your only job will be to think about how to get to your new home. By plane or by bus. Of course, there are few more things to think about even if you are hiring a full moving service. However, the hardest and most complicated aspects of your move will be in your movers’ hands.

Beneficial for your body and mind

If you decided to hire a full moving service, make a small effort to locate really reliable and trustworthy moving company and you will not have to lift a finger until the end of your move. Only a though that you do not have to deal with tons of moving boxes, lifting heavy objects, driving a truck and unpacking can be very relaxing. Of course, because you actually do not do those things will be beneficial for your body as well. You better save your strength for arranging your furniture and decorating at your new home.

If a problem occurs, movers will handle it

What will you do if you start your DIY move and you realize that you cannot get that couch out of your apartment on your own? Or that you cannot get it up the stair at your new place. Maybe the truck breaks down along the way. All those things happen daily. When you hire movers, such issues are solved without interfering.

Cons of hiring movers

Strangers are packing your belongings

When you decide to hire a full moving service, a moving crew will do the packing. That means that people who you do not know will go through your stuff, and touch every item while they do the packing. Even though this is a very helpful thing some people can feel a little strange about it. The best way is to hire movers and pack at least the things that you do not want others to touch, on your own.

Hiring movers can be expensive

Hiring movers can cost you a lot. If you hire packing and unpacking services. You want to give special protection to your arts and valuables. Maybe you have many heavy objects that they have to carry through lots of stairs. Or, your movers cannot park a truck close to your home. The cost of your move will be high.

Hiring movers vs DIY move? The answer is different for everyone

No one but you can answer to the question of hiring movers vs DIY move. Hopefully, you now know the benefits of both options and you can make the best decision for you.
