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

Online vs In-home Estimates

For all of you planning to move to Colorado on a budget, you will need some estimates. You will need to decide if you are going to ask your moving company to do online or in-home estimates. And there is a big difference between those two options. However, if you are moving on short notice then the best thing you can do is check moving quotes Denver CO has to offer. In order to make your decision easier, we prepared this guide on online vs in-home estimates. By following our instructions you will find the best estimate that works for you. Without any further ado, let us get started.

Online vs In-home Estimates – 101

Looking for estimates is the best way of having a relocation on a budget.  Therefore, there are different types of moving estimates. The most common moving estimates are online or in-home estimates. However, when it comes to online vs in-home estimates there are some things you need to know first:

Online estimates

Nowadays it is easy to get an online or over the phone estimate from a moving company. However, if you are worried if that will give you an exact estimate, all you need to do is to give your movers the right information. If you hide something from them you can not expect to have a good calculation of your moving expenses. Therefore, in order to accomplish that you will need to give your moving company all relevant information. Starting from your relocation destination. Online estimates are perfect if you do not have enough time to have an in-home estimate. Moreover, the one good thing about them is that you can ask your more than one company to send you their estimates and you can choose the one in your price range.

In-home estimate

This means that the moving company representative will come to your home and estimate your moving costs. Therefore, they will see everything they will need to relocate and provide you with the price of their services. This way is better because you won’t be able to hide anything from them, and that will make your movers’ job easier when the time comes. However, this can be exhausting if you are planning to have multiple moving companies come to your home for an estimate. In both cases, we advise you to contact moving companies with good reviews like for example, Homegrown Moving and Storage Company Colorado.

Which are the details you have to give your moving company to get a good moving estimate?

In order to get a good moving estimate, you will need to provide some details and information to your moving company. First of all your moving expenses will depend on your relocation details. Your movers need to know your old and new address. Make an ultimate pre-moving checklist of all items you are planning to relocate. Not only that it will help you pack everything faster and help you not to forget something, it can also help your moving company calculate your moving expense. If you provide your movers with a list of furniture items they will be better prepared for your moving day. Moreover, this step is important if you are looking to get an online estimate.

Things that will define your moving estimate.

There are some other things that will define your moving estimate. Here are some tips on how to estimate moving costs for a long-distance move. You will need to keep them in mind when you are planning a move. The number of movers you have to help you on your moving day is one of them. If you have more movers your moving estimate will be higher. However, keep in mind that tips don’t count in the estimated price your moving company gave you. Also, you will need to pay for the moving truck and gas used for your relocation. Therefore if you are moving long-distance your moving costs will be higher than if you are moving a few blocks away from your previous residence.

Your moving estimate will be higher if you want your movers to drop off some of your items to storage on the way to your new home. Moreover, you will need to include that when you are hiring your moving company. You will also need to pay some extra for the relocation of special items. And if you are hiring full-service movers you can expect higher costs but less stress on your moving day. Moreover, they will help you pack everything and prepare for the move easier.

How to choose the right movers for the job.

If you still have trouble deciding which moving company to hire, and you have seen their moving estimates, there is only one more thing left. Moving reviews should help you decide who to hire. They are important because people tend to express their thoughts and experiences on forums. They will also help to find ways to cut down your moving expenses just by reading other people’s experiences. However, before you hire them if they are not on your list for moving estimates you should contact them and ask them for an online estimate. In this situation when it is not that safe to do an in-home estimate, an online estimate is the best solution. Just don’t forget to give your movers every detail.

In order to calculate your moving expenses by yourself, you will need to take all things above into consideration. Therefore it is less stressful to let professionals handle the moving estimate. You will get a more detailed report from the in-home estimate than from an online one just because your moving company representative will calculate event things that you don’t think are that important.

Online vs In-home Estimates – final thoughts

We hope this article will help you decide which option works best for you. No matter if you choose an online or in-home estimate you will get almost the same moving company price. For additional information feel free to contact your moving company. Good luck with your move.
