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

How to treat your movers during the pandemic?

After you decide on getting professional movers to save time and stress, there are questions about how to handle this process and how to treat your movers during the pandemic. Moving is always a long process, be it that you’re moving because of work or anything else. The COVID-19 pandemic has only further complicated the whole situation. Now, it is more important than ever to inform yourself before moving. As a move date is not flexible for many people, it is important that the services to help you move are accessible. Moving is generally considered essential and Denver residential movers are still open and running.

Search out firms that have taken all the measures for safe work

Companies from all over the world have changed the way they do business due to the pandemic. For a job well done, contact Denver professional movers. Some have stopped business altogether. Some have changes in working hours and have introduced new rules and regulations. When you decide to use the services of a moving company, you need to make sure that the firm applies safe procedures. Safe procedures are contactless moving and personal protective equipment.

How to treat your movers during the pandemic
Moving companies are considered essential businesses.

The best moving agency will offer you the answer to every question and complete the complete move for you, so it is definitely a great solution to hire. These agencies mostly do all kinds of relocations: apartments and houses, business premises, and they also include services such as packing things and storing them. A good and professional agency will know what it needs to do to maintain maximum health security during the relocation process, and you can rely on it in this regard as well.

Make sure you are aware of the latest information at all times before moving

The main feature of the period marked by the COVID-19 pandemic is that circumstances are constantly changing. This makes it difficult to know what to expect while traveling. Unwanted surprises as part of relocation are easiest to avoid if you make an effort to stay informed.

Regularly check online travel information sites. You can also make sure you stay informed by carefully following the news, and you can easily do that by turning on notifications from news apps on your smartphone. In this way, you will be able to follow the latest titles as soon as they are published, including those related to changes in local guidelines, and you will be able to plan your relocation accordingly.

Closure of non-essential business varies by state, and sometimes by county and city. It is important to do your research because there is always a possibility that the orders are different in your locality. However, moving companies are still considered essential and are in operation. You can always check new posts and alerts on the American Moving and Storage Association  (AMSA).

Moving Quote

A piece of important information is that moving companies are now offering virtual surveys instead of at-home surveys and they are estimating the price of your move online. If you need an estimation, check moving quotes Denver.

Take care of the cleanliness of things and space

It is extremely important during the pandemic to take care of the cleanliness of the things you are moving. First of all, try to disinfect the moving boxes, as well as other things from the house that you know, have come into contact with other people. Also, the second apartment you are moving into, even if it is completely new, was certainly visited by at least entrepreneurs or interested buyers, if no one else. For health and safety reasons, disinfect the area and thoroughly clean it (with a mask on your face and gloves on your hands) before moving the first things into it.

Pack things practically

Storage box
Have your boxes prepared for the move at least 24 hours before. That is the best way to treat your movers during the pandemic well.

To spend as little time as possible in the relocation process, be sure to learn how to pack smart. Buy good moving boxes, then group things and label the boxes so you know what’s in them when you move them. This way, you will do the packing quickly and practically, and also shorten the moving time. While you are taking things out and moving them to another space, it is important to protect yourself with a mask and gloves and always have some disinfectant with you. This way you will be completely secured and move in a safe way.

As the coronavirus lasts up to 24 hours on cardboard boxes, you should have your boxes prepared for the move at least a day before your movers arrive. Besides that, you can plan a move in a relatively short amount of time, with last-minute moving.

Preparation is half the work

Moving companies are prepared for this new way of moving, as they take the pandemic very seriously. New protocols, which are specifically designed to minimize the chance of the spread of the coronavirus. The protocols serve to protect the customers and employees and include following guidelines around social or physical distancing and sanitization.

The trucks and equipment are frequently sanitized, masks and gloves are mandatory, and the trucks are stocked with hand sanitizer. Because of these measures, moving companies may remain open and functioning in a safe way.

Help your movers

Transparency is the most important thing during the move and interaction with the movers. If you or anyone you have come into contact with has symptoms of the coronavirus, you should immediately contact your mover. A lot of movers will still work with you, but there will be additional measures. Isolation is the second most important thing that you need to tell your mover.

Hand sanitizer
Treat your movers during the pandemic well by providing them with hand sanitizer next to the door.

Regarding your moving boxes, the ones you already have in your home are good. If you need any new ones it is important to buy new ones. Do not use recycled boxes as the coronavirus can stay alive on the paper surface.

If you want to take an additional step, you can help out your movers by providing hygiene products that they can use while carrying your items to and from the truck. The products needed are soap and paper towels by the sink, and hand sanitizer by the door.

With these tips, we are sure that moving will be easier and faster and that you will know how to treat your movers during the pandemic. At the same time, you will be able to save your health. We wish you a happy move!
