Best Movers in Denver – 303-329-3217

Packing up your kitchen is a challenge. From utensils to plates and glassware, to pots and pans, etc. there are just so many odds and ends to get organized. Figuring out how to pack your kitchen can be overwhelming. If you’ve waited until the last minute to get your kitchen packed, not to worry. Our team of expert packers and movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage are here to help with our best kitchen moving hacks.

 

  1. Don’t take out your silverware

Instead of wasting valuable time taking your silverware and kitchen utensils out of their organizers, take some plastic wrap and secure them inside. If you wrap it tight enough, your silverware will be safe and secure throughout your move and you can move on to other projects.

 

  1. Don’t pack your dishtowels and cloth napkins separately

Use your dishtowels, cloth napkins, tablecloths, etc. to fill your boxes of plates and glassware. These items will serve as filler, so your valuables don’t bump up against each other and you will avoid having to waste space packing them in another box.

 

  1. Use rubber bands to organize your pots and pans

No longer worry about fitting your pots and lids together or losing a set in the chaos. Wrap a rubber band around the set to keep them together during your move.

 

  1. Use your brown bags and six pack beer containers to organize and pack

Those 6 pack containers or twelve pack boxes with built in separators are perfect for packing wine glasses, olive oil bottles, tumblers, vases, etc. Brown paper bags can double as individual wrappings for your glasses and cups to keep them secure.

 

If you follow our kitchen moving hacks and stay organized, you will have your kitchen packed in a flash!


When moving in to your new home, your floors can get absolutely destroyed if the proper steps are not taken to provide them with some type of protection. Protection from what? Muddy shoe prints, the daily mishaps from pets knocking things over, or nails scratching the flooring. Not to mention the furniture that’ll be sliding all over those floors on moving day.

Here are some quick tips to ensure the quality of your floors stay intact when moving day arrives.

Clean your floors before moving anything in.

Carpet, hardwood flooring, tile, and vinyl all have specific cleaning agents to protect and preserve the flooring to extend its life. These products should be included when you are purchasing packing products.

When moving your furniture, do not place your couch and other fittings on a dirty floor. You will end up cleaning around the dirt and when you decide to switch up the living room that grime will have set and left behind stains/discoloration.

Essentially, your flooring can get ruined in one spot and then the entire floor needs to be replaced.

Prepare for Heavy Traffic

It’s moving day, so there will be a ton of movement from outside to inside and vice versa. Be prepared for this.

After cleaning your floors, use old carpeting as a safety net for any incoming traffic.

If you have enough people, determine inside people and outside people as an extra precaution.

Furniture can be heavy. Place non-slip plastic down to not only protect your floor during a move but to prevent any accidents which may occur.

If you want to go the extra mile. You can provide shoe covers for anyone coming in the house.

Visit our blog for moving tips

If furniture is not moved correctly it can scratch, crack, and destroy your flooring.

Remember to not drag. There are floor pads/sliders for heavy furniture that cannot be lifted and moved around.

Protecting your floor during a move is not the only asset that needs protection. The furniture itself can be damaged. Use moving blankets to avoid scratching and scuffing your furniture.

You’ve done it. Finally completed that long, dreaded move with your Denver moving company. All the preparation, the packing, the up, the downs, and here we are, all unpacked with a bunch of moving supplies that you have no idea what to do with. Well your answer is here. Keep reading for fun ideas of what you can do to reuse moving supplies.

Boxes

All those cardboard boxes and nowhere to put them. Our first suggestion is to look at your garden. Is it full of weeds? Cut the boxes into long strips and place them on highly weeded areas. Now cover the boxes with mulch. The boxes will act as an insulation causing the temperature to rise high enough that the weeds will not survive.

No garden? No problem, save those extra boxes for gift wrapping down the road or let your kids’ imagination run wild. The creativity of children is like no other and in reality, what looks like a box to you, can look like a racecar or castle to them.

If all else fails, just recycle the boxes or give them away. Someone, somewhere is always in need of an extra box.

Packing Paper/Bubble Wrap

During the winter time bubble wrap can act as some extra insulation on windows or around pipes to lock in heat and prevent freezing. Although if you not worried about the cold, who doesn’t like some stress relief? Start popping those bubbles.

With packing paper, it’s simple. Just get creative with some arts and crafts without having to go to the store. Use it as sewing paper or an alternative to pattern paper.

Many things can be done with your moving supplies. Just get creative and if all else fails, recycling is always a good alternative.

Packing the kitchen comes with a lot of loose ends. There are so many dishes, cups, appliances, odds and ends and more shoved onto shelves. This job is also something you can’t rush through, because if you’re not paying attention, you will find yourself with broken dishes and shattered glasses when you open the boxes in your new place. The Denver professional packers from All My Sons Moving & Storage are going to give you 4 steps to pack the kitchen correctly.

You should start packing your appliances with their original boxes and packaging, if you have them. If you don’t have the original packaging, you should use medium-sized packing boxes to pack up your appliances. You should remove any smaller or fragile parts to keep them safe, and wrap those pieces in bubble wrap or packing paper.

Packing dishware is never easy. The first thing you need to know is not to stack the plates in the box. You should wrap them with bubble wrap or packing paper, and lay them on their sides in the boxes. According to our Denver professional packers, if plates are packed side by side, they are less likely to break.

Loose silverware is difficult to sort out during the unpacking process, so to save yourself a headache, start sorting your silverware according to type. You can wrap each type with a rubber band, and place all the wrapped silverware in a box.

Lastly, to pack your pots and pans you should grab the biggest pan and place it horizontally and diagonally in a large box. Then, you can stack your pots and pans and place them in the box. If the lids to your pots and pans are glass, you should wrap them in packing paper and place them under the handles of the pans. You should fill any empty space with crumpled up packing paper to keep things from shifting during the move.

 

 


Moving can be extremely overwhelming, especially when you’re on a tight budget. You’re probably thinking, “How can I get all of my things from my old house to my new house without dropping a ton of cash?” Well, the professional movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage are here to tell you how to save money on packing products. There are affordable packing supplies out there, you just have to know how to find them.

Buying boxes can be unnecessary when there are so many other ways to get them free. You can start looking at your office or workplace. Printer paper boxes are usually strong enough and large enough for most household items.

If you have any friends that have just moved recently, reach out to them or post on social media.

Craigslist’s Free section is great for finding free moving boxes and other affordable packing supplies. People are always trying to get rid of their packing products, so even if you don’t see a listing right now, check back in a day or two.

You should also check out your local liquor store. Liquor bottles are generally made from glass, so these boxes must be able to be strong enough to withstand heavy items. Boxes from liquors stores can certainly handle your belongings.

While you’re out scouring your local liquor store, you should stop by mid-sized retail stores. Retail stores are constantly receiving shipments in large quantities. Without a doubt, you’ll be able to find free boxes from these stores!

If you want to save time and money, just call your Denver movers for the best quality packing and moving products.

 

 


Packing those bulky winter clothes is something that nobody wants to do. Winter clothes are heavy, bulky, and truly just don’t seem appealing to pack. The Denver movers from All My Sons Moving & Storage have completed every type of move imaginable, and they have plenty of advice on how to get the job done efficiently. With the right packing supplies and our pro tips, packing up even the most difficult items can be made easier. Keep reading to find out how you can pack your winter clothing with ease.

If you don’t even want to think about packing your winter clothing, you should purchase space saving vacuum bags. These bags will be your best friend if you have a ton of winter clothing and just don’t know what to do with it all. Once you’ve folded all your sweaters, jackets, coats and all your other winter gear, all you have to do is fill the bags and use a vacuum to suck out the air. Now you have more space than you could have ever imagined.

If you want to forgo the vacuum bags, you can go old school and fold all your winter clothes and put them in boxes. To save space, our Denver movers sometimes recommend a packing technique that we call, “bundling.” Bundling is supposed to help you save space, while also preventing creasing. You lay a large clothing item, such as your winter coat, on a flat surface. Then, you start piling all your other winter clothes on top of that jacket, folding everything in until all the items have been enclosed by the biggest one.


Moving to a new home is extremely exciting, and sometimes in all that excitement, we tend to forget important items! The Denver packers from All My Sons Moving & Storage, a premier Denver moving company, have created this list of the top 10 things that people often forget about. If you follow this guide, you will be completely prepared for the first few days after your move to or from Denver.

Keys: It’s so simple, but keys are so obviously left behind all the time! If you’re without keys you’ll be in real trouble, so don’t forget to pack these.

Chargers: Don’t forget all your essential electronic chargers. You’ll need your phone, laptop and tablet whatever else you’ll need to stay connected. You should keep these in your essentials bag/box.

Basic Cleaning Supplies: When you get to your new house and everything is unpacked, the dust will have settled. The last thing you want to do is not be able to clean, so make sure you pack glass cleaner, dish soap, sponges, a broom and dustpan so you can be prepared.

Medicine: Any prescription medication that you take daily should be packed first and in your essentials box.

Scissors: You are going to need to have some tool to help you unpack when you get to your new house. Don’t let your scissors or box cutter knife get lost in the chaos of cardboard boxes.

Toiletries: You’re going to want to remember all your toiletries so that you can freshen up right when you get to your new house.

First-aid Kit: After a long day of moving heavy objects, you might have a few cuts and bruises.

Spare Batteries: Just in case you have anything that isn’t rechargeable, bring some spare batteries. It’ll be a lifesaver for things like flashlights in the case of an emergency.

Change of Clothes: Don’t forget to include pajamas and underwear.

Shower Curtain: According to our Denver packers, this is one of the most forgotten items when people are packing.

Our Denver moving company is a full service moving company that has served this community for over four generations. Whether or not you hire Denver movers to help with your move, here are two ways to speed up your packing process!

Start Early

Do not wait until the last minute to start packing! You will regret it and you will have an unnecessary headache. If you like to write things down, you should create a timeline. Being able to visualize your packing process will help keep you on track to get you ready for moving day. Starting to pack early will ultimately end up saving you time because you can take the time to figure out what items you don’t want to take to your new place. By doing this, you will have less items to pack and less clutter to take into your new home.

Stay Organized

By creating a systematic process, you can greatly speed up the packing process. Denver movers suggest that you should start organizing and packing boxes by room. Going room by room will also help speed up your unpacking process at your new place. While you are going room by room, do not forget to label. We recommend you label everything! This will help keep you on top of every item that you have, so that if you need to find something quickly, you can do it with ease. If you want to stay even more organized, make a separate list in a notebook of each box and its contents.


What should you pack in your car?

These are the items that you should most definitely pack in your car. By packing these items in your car, you can ensure you know where they are throughout the whole moving process. It is always best to keep the most valuable and important items with you, rather than in the moving truck.

Photo Albums

Even if you have every photo from every photo album, saved on your computer, you still want to keep the real photos and albums safe. To avoid any damage to these important photos, your local Denver movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage suggest you pack these photo albums in a box and stick them in the front seat of your car for safe-keeping.

Perishable Food

You should keep perishable food with you to avoid any messes during your move. Avoid the mess of cleaning up any spilled food by packing your perishable items in Ziploc bags and air-tight containers, then put them in your car.

Important Documents

These documents may include: passports, social security cards, birth certificates, etc. To avoid any loss to these items, pack them in a folder and keep them close to you.

Tool Kit

You might be thinking, why a tool kit? Well, when you get to your new house you are going to need the necessary tools to start the unpacking process. Having a tool kit already set aside will help you avoid the headache of searching through boxes for that one screwdriver.

What should you pack in your moving truck?

When you hire All My Sons Denver moving company, you can trust your items in our moving trucks.

Furniture

Your furniture should be disassembled as much as possible because some furniture pieces can take up a ton of space. By loading the furniture into the truck in smaller pieces, you can maximize the space in the truck allowing for more belongings. To make things easier, our Denver moving company offers packing services that include the disassembly and reassembly of furniture.

Electronics

Televisions, stereo systems, printers, game consoles and others should be packed on your moving truck. They should be packed safely and securely before being put on the moving truck. Denver movers have the proper packing products and packing techniques to properly handle your electronics.
