How to help your child move out of home for the first time

   During the house moving process, it is perfectly natural to be very stressed. There is a lot which has to be sorted out before you’re given the keys to a new home from an Estate Agent or a private landlord. Even if you have moved many times before, it is still an exciting experience but also one which you’ll probably dread.

 

   If your children are about to move out of the family home for the very first time, they might not know what has to be done. After all, you probably didn’t know what to do when you did the same. However, the experience you’ve gained can be used to your child’s advantage because you know exactly what should be on a to-do list.

   Here’s how you can help your child when they’re moving home:

• Research a removal company

You could search for a trustworthy removal company. If your child has never contacted a removal company before, they don’t know what to ask them. However, if you’ve hired a removal company, you know what specifically to question them about. For example, your child might not know how to negotiate a lower quote. By telling a removal company that only a van is required and not removal professionals, their quote can be less.

If removal professionals are required, you can reduce a quote further by offering to help. When only one removal professional is needed, this can lower a quote. By getting as many people involved as possible, such as friends and other family members, the cost of moving can be substantially less. This is because it will take a removal company less time to help their customers move.

• Get cardboard boxes

Several boxes are typically required when moving home. Even if their personal possessions are sorted through where they throw out what isn’t needed anymore, they will still have many things to take to their new home. There are many places to get cardboard boxes from. Examples of such include supermarkets, off licences and a local tip. Although they can be bought from a shop, they won’t cost anything when they are acquired from these places.

• Buy things for their new home

It is very expensive to move home. For a young person, the vast majority of their savings can be spent on paying a deposit and buying white goods. However, you could contribute by buying them things which are needed in their new place. If their flat doesn’t have a washing machine or a fridge, you could buy it for them. There is no need to purchase brand new white goods because there are many second hand shops around and charity shops that sell them. Smaller items could be bought, such as a shower curtain or new towels. By buying them what they have asked for, this will minimalize the cost of moving home.

If your child is given the keys for their new flat a day before a removal company is due to arrive, you could help out by taking some of their boxes there. If there is plenty of room in your car for the aforementioned items that you’ve bought for them, this won’t have to be put in a removal van. As fewer items have to be taken, the cost of hiring a van removal service will be much lower than previously thought, especially as they don’t have to put as many boxes into a vehicle because of your efforts. Therefore, not only have they saved money but also time as well.

Scituate to Medfield, MA Move 5/2

On Thursday, May 2nd, two movers arrived at the Casey Movers headquarters early in the morning. The two men were going to Scituate to move a customer to his new home in Medfield. They geared up, hopped in the truck and headed to Scituate (Scituate MA Movers).

The movers, Matt and Jorge, arrived exactly on time. They introduced themselves to the customer, went over the paperwork and got right to work.

Scituate home.

The customer's Scituate home had a beautiful view of the ocean, and the sea breeze cooled the men down as they ran boxes and furniture out to the truck.

The movers wrapped each piece of the customer's furniture in heavy duty moving blankets and added another layer of shrink wrap for extra protection. The two men also used a plastic mattress bag on the customer's bed to keep it nice and clean during the move.

The customer, James, told us the movers were very "efficient and quick" and that it was "the easiest move we have ever experienced."

Once the load up was complete, the two movers hopped right back in the truck and headed for Medfield. Once they arrived, they didn't waste any time and began unloading immediately.

As a team, the two movers carried a refrigerator from the truck all the way up to James' new home. After they had unloaded everything into the house, they arranged all the furniture just the way James wanted. They wanted to make his transition to his new home as smooth and comfortable as possible.

By the end of the move, the customer was very pleased. He had excellent things to say about the movers in the Casey Movers Customer Comments and in the Angie's List Review.

Post-Move Decorating

 

 Moving to a new home means dealing with a lot of details. You will need to do much, such as unpacking your belongings, setting up your furniture and arranging everything in its proper order. Regardless of what you do however, you will still need to adapt to living in a completely new place, so making it more familiar or cozy should be a top priority if you want things to go smooth.

There is hardly an easier way to do this, except by properly decorating the walls and interior of your home. Decorating must be done when you have a new home unless you want your new place to resemble a hospital or a warehouse. Decoration is something personal, so your ideas are what will literally shape the future of your home and your life ahead of you. Before you begin, you should consider making a careful plan for how each room should look like. Writing down and sketching out how you want things to look will help you greatly as you get to the execution of said decorations. After all, you don't want your place to look mediocre and boring.

Consider the priorities of certain rooms and how you want them handled overall. While some rooms will bear more significance than others, you should focus on those that are visited more often than others. The living room will most likely be your first choice, seconded by your bedroom and so on. Working a room at a time will allow you to focus and keep things easy to handle.

Consider what necessities you'll need when you are done moving. Much of the possessions from your old home will find their way into your new one, however you will also need to downsize and abandon some of them. Look for a way to combine new purchases with the style of any old items you own to create a synthesis of styles that works to your benefit.

 

Decoration should be done after you are done setting up of course, but before you deal with that you might consider repainting or reapplying wallpapers to the walls if the need arises. Arrange your furniture in a way that fits your needs, then decide where you want to setup the decoration pieces. The best way to go about this is to tie up the looks of the furniture with the proper accessories. These can be pretty much anything, ranging from picture displays, books, curtains, vases and a whole other variety of items. The main point of this part of the decoration process is finding the right combination of items that creates the best possible visual effect. Does the room feel cozy, or does it feel boring and dull? It all comes down to this and the practicality of the whole decoration deal, making sure you'll find it easy to clean them months down the line when the need arises.

 

Working on a budget is a necessity, as some of the decorations might be a bit steep if we're not careful. The fact that these will occur after a move means you will have expended a decent amount of money getting to your new home, thus you will need to address that issue. If you are not quite certain how you want to approach the decoration of your home, try to find inspiration in the wide variety of different styles around the world, conveyed by magazines, websites and more for a combination which works best for you.

Milton to Wareham, MA Move 4/25

 

On Thursday, April 25th, two men arrived at the Casey Movers office early in the morning. The two movers, Donald and Danny, were moving a customer out of her house in Milton, MA and to two separate locations, one in Wareham and the other in Norwell.

 

The customer, Gale, first heard of Casey Movers when she received one of our postcards. When selling her house, she used Gail Nocera from Coldwell Banker as a realtor.

 

Donald and Danny left the office at 7:30 AM on the dot, and arrived in Milton 30 minutes later. They wasted no time getting started. They introduced themselves to the customer, went over the paperwork with her, and then began to load up the truck. The customer told us later on that she thought the 2 men "arrived promptly, very professional and courteous."

The customer, Gale, was also taking her grandfather clock to her new house. The men made sure it would be perfectly safe through out the move. They used heavy duty blankets, shrink wrap an even some cardboard. The customer was very pleased with how the two movers handled her belongings.

 

Once the movers were finished loading up the customer's items, they hopped right back into the truck and drove to Wareham, where most of  Gale's things were going.

 The men unloaded the truck quickly but carefully, because they still needed to make one more stop in Norwell, MA before the move was done. The pressure was on to finish in that amount of time they had!

But Donald and Danny, being from Casey Movers, finished just in time. They made sure everything was perfect for the customer before the move was complete. They arranged the furniture just the way the customer wanted it in both Wareham and Norwell. The customer couldn't be happier with how the move went.

Cohasset to Cohasset, MA Move 4/23

 

On a rainy Tuesday, April 23rd, five movers waited patiently inside of the Casey Movers office while the crew leader got all of the paperwork together for the move. Once the tractor trailer was all warmed up in the parking lot, the men jumped in and headed straight for Cohasset.

 

The 5 men were moving a couple, Tom and Sue Ellen, from their four story home in Cohasset to another house about 15 minutes down the street. They first heard of Casey Movers from a former client plus a family friend. The couple used John Durkin from Coldwell Banker as their realtor to sell their old home.

Once the 5 movers arrived at the customer's home, they got started right away. They introduced themselves to the customers, went over the paperwork with them and then started loading up the truck. They didn't want to waste any of the customer's time.

 

The movers, Matt, Tim, Jorge F, Jorge M and Dave, had to work quickly but carefully because they had to move everything in the large house in a short amount of time. They used plenty of heavy duty moving blankets to cover every single piece of furniture to keep it all in pristine condition. The movers also brought mattress bags to cover the customers 3 twin beds, 5 full beds, and one queen size bed, so the mattresses would stay nice and clean through out the move. They brought plenty of other supplies to make sure everything in the house would stay in excellent condition during the move.

 

The customers also owned a pool table, which takes a professional to take apart. Luckily, one of the movers that was on the job knew how to take it apart. Casey Movers always comes prepared. : )

 The movers from Casey Movers are wonderful at working as a team. In pairs, they carried all the heavy furniture into the house. They arranged it just the way the customer asked for. The men worked hard into the evening to get the trailer unloaded. When the move was complete, Tom and Sue Ellen were very pleased with the outcome. The couple had no complaints.
