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

Moving to Summit County: Things to know

When you move, you need to know as much as possible about the place you are moving to. This might seem rather obvious, but with all the hassle around the moving process people kinda put the research in the back of their mind. There is just so much more pressing stuff than researching if what’s the climate like there. There are things to pack, movers to call, people to notice that you are moving to Summit County, etc. So much to do.

That is why we are here. We are going to tell you exactly everything you need to know before moving to Summit County. The climate, recreation, everything to start with your life in this new place. So, without further ado, let’s begin.

Moving to Summit County with good movers

Now, remember, if you are going to be moving to Summit County, you have to do it right. There are a lot of moving companies around nowadays. This is only natural when you take into account the sheer amount of people that move on a regular basis. Now more then ever, people are free to move in pursuit of a better life, business opportunity and such. Of course, where there is demand, there is supply, and thousands upon thousands of companies have stepped up to facilitate these moves.

If you are moving, do it right!

However, not all moving companies have really done a good job. It is only natural that you will have bad apples. This is why you need to know how to pick good Summit County movers. And, of course, when you do, there are certain things you need to keep in mind. Certain elements that should not be omitted in order to have a good moving company. 

First off, you want your company to be fully legal. Even when you are doing a local move, you should not compromise on this. The company simply has to be licensed. Furthermore, everything regarding the company has to be legal as well. No verbal agreements and no blank contracts. You have to be sure that you know what you have signed up for.

Secondly, you should always look to find companies with a good track record. You deserve the best. Therefore, go on platforms such as Yelp or Google reviews. You will find that companies in your area are there and you will be able to see their track record. Also, be sure to read behind the 5-star reviews, seeing what they are actually describing in them. That kind of description is much more valuable than arbitrary stars.

Local climate

Summit County, Colorado, to which your apartment movers Denver will relocate you to, is not named that way for no reason. It is a mountainous region with elevation ranging from around 8000 feet to marvelous 14,270 feet, at the Grays Peak. The county seat of Breckenridge is actually one of the highest cities in the United States!

What’s the weather like in Colorado?

Most of the county is “alpine”, therefore you can find sparse vegetation and subarctic climate. There is a lot of snow, and summers are mild!

Recreation

Summit County is definitely a good place for recreational activities.  While it is not that large, with only a modest population of only 13 000 inhabitants, you will find that it lacks nothing in activities offered. When Denver small movers finish with moving you, be sure to check out the Ski areas.

Naturally, in the mountains, skiing is a big deal, and you want to get the best out of those white winters. There are Keystone, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, and Arapahoe Basin ski areas.

Where to relax in Summit County?

You can also track the trails and byways such as American Discovery Trail, Colorado Trail, GreatParks Bicycle Route and Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (many more too). Seniors will find this peaceful location especially relaxing, but only if they’ve used senior movers CO to move here – they know all the best ways to help seniors relocate.

Finally, if you are more in the mood for a quiet day in nature, you can either visit one of two National protected areas – White River National Forest and Eagles Nest Wilderness, or two reservoirs, Lake Dillion and Green Mountain Reservoir.

Be sure to make a good moving checklist

When you are moving anywhere, be it that you are moving to Summit County or to Norway, there is always one rule that stands true in every relocation. One thing that is and always will be true on every occasion. And that is moving takes preparation. The process of moving is mostly done before any boxes are packed and loaded, any trucks start their engines, any houses moved into.

Relocation is planning intensive. It takes a lot of effort to come up with a checklist that will cover every minute detail of your relocation to Summit County. However, we as movers can offer some advice that comes from our extensive experience.

In our opinion, these are things to keep in mind:

  • Inventory. First of all, you want to write down everything you own. Now, remember, this is before you make a choice on what to take with you when you are moving to Summit County and what to leave behind. In this phase, you want to map out what you own and categorize it into appropriate categories of your choosing.
  • Picking out good movers. You, naturally, also want to pick good movers. We will not elaborate much on this as we already addressed it before. You want your movers to be able and ready to take on a challenge.
  • Setting the dates, plans, and routes. Now the operational bits. On your long list of things to do before the move, setting things like plans and routes are crucial. You should be sure to check for accessibility to both your old and your new home, as well as go over routes movers will take.
  • Call everyone. And be sure to call gyms and old contacts in order to inform them of your relocation.

So, what it all comes down to

So, is moving to Summit County the right choice for you? That is not ours to determine or say. However, we hope that this post has fulfilled its advisory role and that your move, should it occur, will go without a hitch. Simply said, we wish you a bon voyage!
