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

The cost of living in Westminster – everything you need to know

Denver is the capital and the most populous city in the state of Colorado. In a city this big, there are numerous suburbs and neighborhoods to choose from when moving. But luckily, there are also many reputable movers Denver metro area can offer that can assist you with your move. One of the bigger suburbs of Denver is Westminster, located in Adams County. And since the living expenses are a very important thing to consider, we will give you all the information needed about the cost of living in Westminster.

General information about Westminster

As a suburb of Denver, Westminster is part of the Denver Metropolitan Area. Living in such a big city has good and bad sides to it, but in Westminster, there are considerably more pros than cons. The fact that the area is serviced by our Westminster CO movers is another plus. But for a place with so many good sides, the only bad side is usually the cost of living. So is this a problem in this suburb as well, or are the living expenses in Westminster not that high? Let’s see in detail below.

What is included in our guide to the cost of living in Westminster?

Like in every other place, life in Westminster comes with certain expenses. Some of them are bigger than others, but the essential costs that we will cover in this article are:

  • Housing and utilities
  • Groceries
  • Transportation
  • Healthcare and childcare

Housing and utilities are the biggest expenses

Housing costs alone make up 30% of the monthly budget. In Westminster, the median home value is $388,000, compared to the national average of $245,000. Rent is also a bit higher than the average, $1,600 compared to $1,100. This is the main reason why the majority of the population in this suburb owns their homes, or more precisely 64%. Utilities are somewhat cheaper than both the national average and state average, which is good news since you will need heating in the winter.

Groceries

No matter whether you cook your meals or eat in restaurants, there will be a certain expense for food. Restaurant eating is usually more expensive, especially if you want to visit fine places like Hideaway Steakhouse. But thanks to the recent food price surges, the price is almost similar. But looking at the state and national average, grocery costs are a little lower in Westminster.

Transportation

People who don’t want to own a car will love Westminster, and Denver in general. Thanks to the RTD, the public transportation system in Denver is one of the most efficient ones in the county. A trip with the RTD system costs $3 for a local trip and $5.25 for a regional one. A move with some long distance movers Colorado has to offer will also turn out more expensive than a local one, from $2,200 to $5,700.

Healthcare and childcare

If you are using some moving services Denver relocation professionals offer to move with kids or elderly people, this cost will be very important for you. On average, you will need to pay $396 per person for an insurance plan. Children and some categories of adults can apply for a free healthcare program, which could potentially cut their monthly expenses. Childcare, on the other hand, costs from $458 to $2,300 a month, mostly depending on the age of your kids.

Final thoughts Westminster’s affordability

Taking everything into consideration from the cost of living in Westminster, housing is the biggest expense, since it is more expensive than the national average. All the other categories are either a bit lower, or a bit higher, but the change is not drastic. But keeping all the benefits that the city of Westminster offers in mind, it is a very good place to live in.
