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

Another great piece of advice when packing expensive equipment is to disassemble everything that can be unscrewed so it is less likely to fall apart in transport.

Getting a tape gun will make the whole process a lot faster, so you should go and buy one of those.

For the large machinery, you will need packing crates and moving blankets. You will also need to buy fillers to fill any free space in the crates to minimize the possibility of your equipment moving and breaking in transport.

Cover all of your equipment in bubble wrap to prevent unwanted damage.

Pack up your electronics

There are a few things that you need to do before packing your electronics. Take out the batteries from all electronics and their remotes. If you don’t do this, you risk the batteries overheating and leaking into the device. You should do the same with any CD, DVD, or Blu-ray. After you take out everything, you will need to tape shut all the drives. If you have any printers or laser printers, you will need to remove their toner cartridges and put them in a dust-proof bag.  You need to be especially careful with packing and shipping electronics as they can easily dent and break.

Transport and tools

Label everything

This task can be quite time-consuming, but it will come as a great time-saver in your new space. The best way to keep your cables, CDs, and toners separated and easily spotted is to color-code them. Get yourself a set of different colored stickers and divide them so one color represents one type of item. After you have everything color-coded and ready to be packed into bigger boxes, make sure to label each box. You can choose to label them either by the room in which they will be located or by the items that are contained in the package or the box.

It is important that you communicate this part of the process with your Denver movers. This way they will be able to unpack everything according to the room for that part of the equipment.

And get everything up and running sooner than you will if you do everything at the last minute. So, take your time to get all the information needed, contact all the professional help you will need, and set a moving date.

After that good steadily in the packing process and make sure to do this with a cold head and don’t forget anything. Your employees will surely be thankful to work in a stress-free environment before and after the move.
