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!

Whether or not Ash Wednesday is an important day to you and your family, your movers here in Denver can’t help but consider today a very appropriate day to de-clutter your home, office, or any other space that comes to mind! Cleaning up your life can mean doing a little spring cleaning in your home. If you see moving in Denver on your horizon, de-cluttering and even putting items into storage can be an especially helpful effort to put forth early on so that your future relocation tasks are a breeze!

Even if you don’t plan to move any time soon, doing a little spring cleaning can do wonders for your own personal productivity. A clean home truly is a happy home, and can ease an otherwise frustrated mind; a cluttered home tends to drive us all mad if you ask me. Additionally; putting forth the effort to clean a disorganized home is a simple task, and absolutely enables you to have an easier time completing tasks in your own home. Especially when it comes to moving in Denver; a cluttered home is far more difficult to move than an organized and prepared home!

Well, while the answer to this question for many people automatically goes to one, it may not be true. The amount of trucks needed for your move in Denver depends on how many items you’re moving. Traditionally, small one or two bed apartments only require one 26-foot truck. However, if you’re moving a three bedroom apartment, condo, townhouse or home, you may need an additional truck.

Another thing to consider is the amount of time you’ve been in your current home. If you haven’t moved in a while there’s a possibility your home is loaded. If you’re unsure, ask your Denver moving company to conduct an in-home estimate to properly determine your moving need.

When the moving company arrives at your home there are few things you must do. Let’s go over them:

• Review your move plan with your Denver moving foreman
• Review the inventory list as items are being unloaded into your home
• Make sure items are being placed in the proper location
• Only unpack items that you will need for the first two days. Primarily your focus should be on creating a wholesome family environment. Unpack the remaining items over the next two weeks
• As you unpack, make sure there are no damages. If your Denver moving company is unpacking, make sure you supervise the process
• Manage your boxes and supplies by either storing them in a specified area or prepare them to be recycled
• Be prepared to handle payment
• Contact your moving company to report the level of quality, service and value provided
• Check on your mail delivery
• Register your children for school
• Check with your utility company on delivery of trash receptacles, water restrictions and more.

The only way to really know is to have a Denver moving company send out an in-home estimator. In most cases they only allow estimators to provide estimates for long distance moves or larger homes. So, small one bedroom apartments are normally quoted over the phone.

Typically a professional Denver mover allots 30 minutes on the loading side per room and 30 minutes on the unloading side per room. Add the time it will take the drivers to get from origin to destination and you should have a rough estimate of hours your move will take.

Moving in Denver first requires the skills of a reputable real estate agent. There are so many stunning communities in the area to choose from. However, depending on your price point and specific needs, you may want to stream-line your search to a certain area. Your real estate agent will be able to search for homes within your budget and specified location. After you narrow your search down to at least three to five homes, weigh the pros and cons of each home’s neighborhood, desired amenities, location and price.

Specialty moving can be somewhat complex. Often times we settle for a family friend or relative to handle our pool table, antique furniture or gun safe, thinking it’s a small moving job. Although it may appear small in nature it still requires a professional mover who’s experienced with handling these types of moves in Denver.

Your possessions are valuable so before your Denver movers arrive consider the following:

• Don’t put irreplaceables on the moving truck. Have an important family heirloom or rare collector’s item that you cannot replace? Don’t put it on the truck. Many moving companies prohibit this, and, in any case, it’s wise to keep such items with you so that you can ensure their safety.
• Label your boxes. Have a fragile item? Transporting sensitive electronic equipment? Label your boxes “Fragile” on all visible surfaces of the box. If certain items must be kept upright, label which side ought to be up so that your Denver movers can protect your goods.
• Pack well. Don’t pack haphazardly. Pad fragile items carefully and don’t store incompatible items in the same box. In fact, if you can, consider having your goods packed professionally by your Denver moving company.
• Pack room by room. In addition to padding your important items, it helps to pack room by room. That way, when the boxes are delivered, it’s easier to know where the boxes ought to be placed. It also makes it easier to unpack, as each box has been situated where it needs to be in your new home.

This is the busiest time of the year for movers in Denver. Are you needing a moving quote for your upcoming relocation? Well depending on your schedule you can receive a moving quote in a number of ways.

• You can also phone in and request an in-home estimator to come out to your home and supply you with a written moving quote. 
• Lastly, you can submit a moving quote request via the internet and receive a written quote by email. 

All of these are viable options for receiving a moving quote for your move in Denver. The one you select all depends on what you feel works best for you. Please note, in-home estimates are normally reserved for long distance moves, and larger homes. Read the full article to learn more about moving quotes.

This question is asked frequently by consumers moving in Denver and the answer sometimes varies. Most Denver moving companies require a deposit in order to book a move. However, at the same time, other movers don’t require a deposit but rather just a verbal confirmation. A deposit is always a non-refundable amount and is generally at least $50-$75. This amount is usually paid at the time of booking your move and does go towards the overall cost of the move. When you pay a deposit you’re guaranteeing your Denver moving company the job and securing your move date.
