Shopping for Storage – What Do You Need?

Storage units come in all shapes and sizes. Some are containers dropped at your doorstep, while others are large offsite rooms in climate-controlled, high-security buildings. Determining the option best for you starts with seven simple questions.

How much storage space do you need?

Remember, storage units can be packed to the rafters — square footage can be used both vertically and horizontally. Pack your belongings in stackable boxes and containers to minimize space requirements.

How long will you need storage?

If you’re only going to be storing items for a few days, then options like climate control and regular after-hours access may not be necessary. You may want to consider a portable container if you have short-term needs during your move.

How often do you need to access the storage?

Distance from your home, ease of access, and hours of operation make a big difference. Distance can determine whether your storage situation is a painless convenience or aggravating hassle.

What’s the climate?

Are any of your items susceptible to heat, cold, or humidity? Are floods, insects, or dust a concern? If so, make sure to find a climate controlled storage facility. You don’t want your items to be damaged while they sit in a storage locker.

What’s your budget?

Storage facilities come in all price ranges. Large high-security, climate-controlled spaces are the most expensive and small, bare-bones “garage style” units are on the low end of the price spectrum. Keep in mind, the bigger the storage space, the more you’ll pay per month.

How will you get into and out of the storage unit?

Will you move items yourself or get professional help? Visit the facility in person before renting a unit. You need to ensure your vehicle will be able to fit and maneuver around the storage yard.

How valuable are the items you plan to store?

Irreplaceable items should be stored in a climate-controlled facility with high security. A less expensive, slightly less secure facility may be appropriate for fully insured and easily replaceable items like standard furniture, electronics, and dishes.

Don’t Take Risks Moving Your Piano: Hire an Expert

Many homeowners don’t realize that there are movers available to them who specialize in the transportation and storage of pianos. A piano is a delicate instrument and not something you want to take risks with. By trusting this major job to a piano mover, you can rest easy knowing that one of the most valuable items in your home is being transported with the care it deserves.

But It Weighs 1500 Pounds. How Delicate Can It Be?

This is exactly where many homeowners go wrong. Sure, that piano in your living room is heavy enough to throw out the backs of four or five of your best buddies as you wrestle it out the door and up into the truck, but don’t let that fool you. Despite its bulky appearance, it is also a precision musical instrument with over 1000 moving parts and 200 finely-tuned strings, any number of which can be damaged and require repair if your piano isn’t handled properly in a move.

Your Piano Mover Understands Pianos

These intricate inner workings of a piano are exactly why hiring an expert in piano moving is so important. These professionals understand pianos and moving them, from the safest way to lift and twist a standard upright piano to get it out the door, to how to properly disassemble a grand piano and transport it without causing any damage. And even more importantly, a piano mover understands that when your piano is delivered to your new home, you expect to be able to sit down and play it right away. It’s why many piano movers keep tuners and repairmen on staff, and why the rest will have a trusted list of professionals available on request if you need it.

Store Pianos with Piano Movers

Thanks to their considerable bulk, sometimes it becomes important to not just move your piano, but to find it a temporary home for a while as well. Not all places you move into can accommodate a piano, and many home remodeling and renovation projects require major furniture be vacated from the premises. In those cases, calling a piano mover about storage is an excellent solution. Again, your piano will be moved by someone who knows the instrument, but just as importantly it will be stored by someone who cares about how intricate your piano is, too. Extreme temperatures, high and low humidity, and poorly weatherized storage facilities can all wreak havoc on your piano, so it’s worth paying a little extra to have your piano stored by someone who you can trust to treat it right.

As has already been mentioned, your piano is one of the most valuable and delicate items in your home. Don’t trust its moving and storage to just anyone. Talk to a piano mover so you can sleep well knowing your piano is being handled by professionals who know how to baby these beautiful musical instruments.

While most people are familiar with the two basic options for moving — hiring a full-service mover to do the loading, driving and unloading for you; or, renting a truck and handling all of the work yourself — Atlantic Coast Movers offer a third alternative — “you pack, we drive.”

The process itself is pretty simple. Once a reservation is made, a trailer is dropped off at your home. You generally have two days to load and secure your belongings in the trailer. When you have finished packing, your trailer is picked up and driven by professional drivers to your new home. You then have two days to unpack your belongings.

Like full-service moving, you get the advantage of having someone else do the driving. However, the cost is similar to a truck rental because you pay only for the space that you use. And since you pack your belongings in the trailer, you have more control over expenses.

You will find that Atlantic Coast Movers offer free, online rate quotes and interactive space estimators at our website to help you quickly determine moving costs. www.atlanticcoastmovers.ca

Why Long Distance Moving Companies Quote a Range of Delivery Dates

When relocating with a long distance moving company, you’ll be given a range of pick-up and delivery dates. While we understand many people want an exact date for their moving plans, transportation laws and unforeseeable circumstances make it impossible to know the exact time an Atlantic Coast Movers driver will arrive.

While this is true for any moving company, some may try and give you an exact date to get your business. However, they are bound by the same laws and unforeseeable circumstances as every other moving company. The following explains what those laws are and why professional moving companies are likely to quote you a delivery range as opposed to a delivery date.

Legal Driving Limits
All drivers and van lines must comply with the regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrations, or FMCSA. These regulations limit the number of consecutive hours a driver can be on the road and how many total hours they can work each week. While it may technically be possible to drive across the country in a few days’ time, being on the road for 40 – 60 straight hours isn’t safe for the driver, other motorists on the road or your household goods.

While that may not seem like much of a scheduling hurdle, there are a lot of unpredictable elements on the road. All it takes is one minor accident during rush hour to slow traffic down. There is no way to predict such an event and no way to measure how long a driver may be stuck in traffic. A driver may drive five or 500 miles in a day, but the only thing that matters is how many hours he or she spent behind the wheel.

Additional Deliveries
The number of households that can fit into a moving van varies, depending on the size of the home and weight of the shipment. On average, the number of households per moving van is approximately four. Unless you have a particularly large home or pay extra for exclusive use of a van, your driver will likely have more than just your items to deliver.
Like driving limits, this may seem like something that should be easy to schedule, but there are still unexpected events that can arise. A car poorly parked in the road may block access to a van. An agent or driver may have a sudden emergency that throws an entire day of unloading off schedule. Knowing that the unpredictable can occur means we would be doing our customers a disservice by claiming an exact delivery date we can’t ultimately guarantee. We can, however, offer a delivery range of when we expect your shipment to arrive.

Weather Hazards
Nothing is quite as unpredictable and malicious as the wrath of Mother Nature, especially when driving across the country. Putting traffic aside, weather can make driving dangerous. Our drivers are experts at their craft and know how to navigate these conditions, but that often means driving slower, taking different routes or waiting for the weather to pass.

These three elements of a driver’s job are only some of the things we must consider when scheduling a move. We do all we can to fit your needs and timeline, but we also have to be sure we give you a delivery spread we can realistically achieve.
