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

Gathering packing supplies for your fine art

Packing your fine art for the move is hard if you do not have proper packing materials. But, sometimes, there are some “universal” packing supplies you can use when moving. They won’t damage your art pieces, and will only provide them with the best possible protection during transportation. Now, let us begin with the most common and simple packing supplies you will use. For starters, use old soft fabrics such as towels, t-shirts, or blankets. Use them as wrapping materials. They will gently wrap around your fine art, providing it with the best possible protection during the move. And if you are not sure about your skills, then you can always look for a good and professional packing services CO.

Trust us, this is something you need to have in mind when moving your belongings.

What kind of boxes to use

When it comes to moving fine art, you will always have to have in mind the safety of your belongings. That is why you can’t consider using cardboard boxes in this case. Always either opt for wooden crates or plastic bins. They are sturdy, and will always protect your fine art to the fullest. Cardboard boxes can easily break, and that can lead to other issues and problems as well. That is something you need to avoid when moving your art. Remember those packing peanuts and packing hay we mentioned before? Well, they are perfect supplies you can use when packing your artwork. They will fill all the oddly shaped space in the boxes, so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Don’t put too much fine art in one box. This can lead to a lot of damages or scratches.

Ask your local galleries for tips and tricks

Did you know that you can go to your local galleries and ask them about some moving tips you can use regarding the transportation of fine art? They are more than experienced in this, so they will surely help you with your move. Gallery workers have moved their artwork many times, and they can surely tell you, or rent their packing supplies for that matter, how you can relocate your art safely and without any issues. This is something you will find really useful, so make sure to ask them about it.

Take care of your artwork

Packing and moving your art is just one way to make sure everything will go smoothly. The thing is, if you wish to move everything properly, then you will need to know how to maintain the quality of your art. That means that you should think about the cleaning process, polishing, or refurbishing if needed. It is a step everyone needs to take if they wish to keep the quality of their art pieces intact. And if you plan on selling some of your art later in the future, then this will surely be of great help. Make sure to take some extra steps when doing this, if you wish to do it properly.
