Get the Skinny on Colorado’s Best Kept Secret-Denver to Durango!

denver — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:34:41 +0000

Thanksgiving came and went, but the extra pounds we gained over this Thanksgiving holiday stayed with us. The average person gains about a pound over the Thanksgiving holiday, but those who are already overweight tend to gain even more. One study found that overweight people gain five pounds or more during the holidays. Your Denver Moving Professionals want to inform you of another option besides dragging yourself to the gym each morning. Denver to Durango, a free 486 mile trail, is open to hikers, horse riders, and bicyclists. On the trail you will experience waterfalls, mountains and wildlife. Stop running on a treadmill that is headed nowhere; take time away for yourself or for your family and go to the Denver to Durango Trail, the view alone will make it worth your while. Who knows, maybe you will shed those thanksgiving pounds off along the way!

Move to Littleton, Colorado’s Best Family Town

denver — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:57:29 +0000

Denver is one of the country’s most beautiful metro areas. Families targeting Denver for relocation often find their new homes in Littleton, and for good reason! The gorgeous Denver suburb is actually regarded as Colorado’s best town in which to raise a family. Kids love to play, and Littleton’s great outdoors stretch out for miles offering plenty of safe parks and trails for children and families to enjoy. What’s more important is Littleton’s school system; Littleton students consistently outperform other Colorado students, on average, by an entire letter grade! With all that Littleton has to offer to kids and parents alike, it is no wonder to your movers why this Denver suburb has won the approval of Colorado as the state’s best family-friendly town!

Fast Moving Traffic Prompts Local Larimer Cty Residents to Take Matters into Own Hands

denver — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 22:38:36 +0000

What do you do when drivers just don’t seem to get the hint that reckless driving is not appreciated in your neighborhood? Do you hire professional movers to relocate to a safer neighborhood? Or do you take matters into your own hands? Well, if you are a resident of Larimer County, you may simply join in a neighborhood effort to construct and maintain man-made speed bumps to combat the issue. That is what several residents living along Raw-Hide Flats Road settled on, and for years their six speed bumps which they made with dirt managed to control the speeding issue which mounted-speed-limit signs as well as home-made “slow down” signs failed to accomplish previously. Your Denver movers don’t suggest going the route of the aforementioned residents as local law enforcement has recently gotten involved which has proven less than favorable for all involved.

Quick Tip: Avoid Pests With Sealing Storage Containers

denver — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:18:53 +0000

Moving boxes can be your best friend while you prepare to relocate to a new home. However, there are situations when plastic tubs are a better option than cardboard boxes. For transporting items which will be unpacked, cardboard boxes cannot be beat; cheap material that gets the job done. However; for items which you will keep packed away –maybe seasonal clothing or Christmas decorations– cardboard boxes can be an invitation for small pests. Your Colorado moving specialists here in Denver have had many experiences with moving boxes which have turned out less than pleasant due to the unwelcome guests for which cardboard boxes often provide shelter. To avoid discovery of pest colonies in your home, sticking to seal-able tubs for any long term storage needs in your home is your best bet.

Beware of Scam Artists Impersonating Reputable Moving Companies

denver — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 17:49:10 +0000

“Because anyone with a truck and a website can claim to be a mover, our industry is plagued by con artists who don’t adhere to standards for honesty and ethical conduct…”

This sad-but-true statement from American Moving and Storage Association president, Linda Bauer Darr, is a harsh reality about which your Denver area movers educate would-be victims of rogue movers on a daily basis. What is a “rogue mover”? If you have ever moved and have no clue what a rogue mover is, you are very fortunate! A rogue mover is a relocation service provider that operates dishonestly and at the expense of its customers. Disreputable movers often quote a low attractive price for a move over the phone, only to refuse to unload their moving truck at a customer’s destination until they pay a price much higher than what was originally estimated. With your furniture literally held hostage, you have little choice other than paying the inflated price that the dishonest mover demands simply because you didn’t do your research before hiring the company. Professional moving companies try their best to inform people who are planning to move of the difference between the two types of relocation service providers, but we cannot reach everybody. If you have not yet moved, you can easily avoid a moving day disaster by simply researching a mover before you hire. Organizations such as the Better Business Bureau and AMSA are devoted to protecting consumers from encounters with rogue movers. Don’t become a statistic!

Small Home = Low Cost Move!

denver — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 22:37:30 +0000

Living in a particularly small space can be tough in many ways. One upside to living in a small home is that moving costs tend to be on the very low side as there is less to move! If you live in a really small apartment, you have probably heard of the impressive 90-square-foot apartment in Manhattan which author, Felice Cohen, proudly calls her home! Perhaps watching this cool video of her tiny awesome New York apartment can give you ideas on how you can spruce up your place if you live in a small space in Denver. Check it out!

Have Nice Stuff? Hire Professional Movers!

denver — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 20:40:31 +0000

Having nice things is… well… nice! When you have nice things, you tend to have a desire to keep them nice. Unfortunately things don’t always go as planned. One nice and rather expensive household item is the LCD television that you have mounted in your living room. Sadly, the screen has recently been scratched which makes it hard to look your TV in the face. This condition just about defeats the purpose of owning a nice television, so you must get this fixed as soon as possible! Many LCD televisions come with a warranty which may very well cover your little eyesore completely. However; if you are not able to submit your TV for a free fix, there are other solutions!

For a minor scratch on your television screen, you can drastically minimize the appearance of the damage with a microfiber cloth and some petroleum jelly. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the cloth, and lightly rub into the scratch. The jelly won’t damage your screen any further; it will simply fill it in so that you can watch your TV without the scratch distraction. Remember: To prevent damage to your LCD TV in the future –or any other prized possessions for that matter- always hire professional movers in Denver when the time comes to relocate! Your professional mover in Denver handles precious delicates such as your LCD TV on a daily basis and knows how to properly transport all of your nicest belongings with care!
