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

In order to learn as much as you can about your new city and area around, you should search for every possible resource online.

Pay a visit to your new city before moving

Spending some time in your new city will also help you to get a clear picture of what to expect. You will also adapt easier if you are already familiar with the environment. Therefore, before the relocation day comes, you should visit your new city at least one or two times. Spend a weekend in your new city, explore the neighborhood, look for schools, supermarkets, post offices, gyms and so on. If you get to know your new city before the move, you won’t have problems adapting after the relocation.

Hire a professional mover

Whether you are moving locally or preparing for a long-distance move, hiring a professional mover will reduce the moving stress significantly and save plenty of your precious time.

Moving to cities from small towns – Get a job as soon as you can

Sometimes we are forced to move because of our job. If this is the case, you won’t have to worry about searching for a new job. After the relocation, you will still have a solid job with monthly income. Your employer may also cover all moving expenses instead of you. But, if you don’t have a job waiting for you, searching for a job well in advance is a must. Big cities have way more job openings, but there will be a lot of competition too! Since there will be hundreds and hundreds of candidates applying for a single position, you should make your resume stand out, gather some recommendations and visit job fairs.

Prepare for the higher expenses

The bigger the city the higher expenses! But you already know that, right? You will have to prepare for higher expenses, such as housing, utilities, transportation, food, and on top of that, taxes. Don’t let that frighten you! People who live in big cities usually have higher salaries. Also, with a good budget plan and organization, you will adapt to higher expenses fast. Moving from a house to an apartment is difficult, but, when you find out how much you will be making per month and what the average prices are, you will be able to make monthly or even yearly budget plans easily!

Find a place to live in advance when moving to cities from small towns

You will have to find an apartment or a house before moving to cities from small towns. Even if you don’t find a job, you will have to make sure that you have a place to live. However, if you are still searching for a job and your budget is tight, you should search for the apartment outside of the city and consider having a roommate until you find a good job. Make sure that you always have a back-up plan in case something goes wrong.
