West Roxbury to Westwood, MA Move 5/17

 DAY ONE
On Friday, May 17th, three movers arrived at the Casey Movers office at 7 in the morning. They were scheduled to load up a customer's 3 bedroom home in West Roxbury (West Roxbury Movers) and then hold the items overnight. The following day, the same three movers would drive to the customer's new house in Westwood and unload the truck.
The customer, Jill, used Diane Capitalupo from the Remax Achievers as her realtor to sell her single family home. The Remax Achievers is located in West Roxbury (West Roxbury movers).
The three movers, Donald, Brian and Jorge, arrived at Jill's West Roxbury home at 8 in the morning, right on time as always. The didn't waste any time getting started - they all introduced themselves to the customer, went over the paperwork with her and then began to load up the truck.

Donald & Jorge, two happy movers :)
 The three movers worked as a team to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time. While one of the movers ran boxes out to the truck, the other two took apart the large pieces of furniture and wrapped each one with a heavy duty moving blanket to keep it in perfect condition.
The movers brought plastic mattress bags to the move as well, to use on the customer's full and queen size mattresses. The plastic mattress bags would protect the bed from dirt, dust and all the outside elements during the move.

Once the movers had finished the load up of the customer's West Roxbury home, they jumped back in the truck and headed back to Casey Movers. The customer's belongings would stay in the truck overnight until the movers returned in the morning.

DAY TWO
The next day, Saturday May 18th, the three movers returned to the Casey Movers shop. They geared up and hopped back into the truck from the previous day, and headed to Westwood, MA (Westwood Movers).
Just like the day before, the movers didn't waste any time once they arrived. They started carrying each item out of the truck and into Jill's new house.

Quincy to Milton, MA Move 5/15

On Wednesday, May 15th, two movers arrived at the Casey Movers headquarters early in the morning. The two men were scheduled to move a couple from their one bedroom apartment on the first floor of a complex to their new house in Milton, MA.

  This move is the third time this couple has moved with us. The couple, Thomas and Elizabeth, liked Casey Movers so much that they decided to go with us again.
   The two movers, Donald and Craig, arrived at the customer's apartment in Quincy (Quincy Movers) right on time. They didn't waste any time getting started - they both introduced themselves to the customer, went over the paperwork with them and began to load up the truck.

  Donald and Craig brought four wardrobes for the customers to pack up their clothes. Wardrobe boxes make it easy to transfer clothes because of the metal bar that sits on top of the box, used for hanging all the clothes of the customer without getting any of the items wrinkled or dirty during the move.

 The movers also brought a plastic mattress bag to cover the customer's queen size bed so keep it nice and clean in the truck during the move.

  Donald, being the crew leader of the team, made sure that both Craig and himself were staying in the time frame the estimator had predicted. Once the men were done with the load up, they hopped into the truck and headed straight for the customer's new home in Milton.

Once Donald and Craig arrived at the customer's new home in Milton, they started unloading right away. They carried each item into the house and arranged the furniture in each room just the way Thomas and Elizabeth wanted it. 
 Thomas and Elizabeth were very happy customers by the end of the move. They had excellent things to say about both the movers and the company in the Angie's List Review and in the Casey Movers Customer Comments.

Packing essentials and moving home - How to make your relocation easier

 
Packing an essentials box before moving home is something that can be easily overlooked in the stress of moving day, but can make a world of difference when it comes to unpacking and getting settled in your new home. Below are some tips on what to put in your essentials box, and how having one handy can make your relocation easier.

What is an essentials box?
The purpose here is to pack a box or case with everything that you might take for an overnight stay in a hotel or if going on holiday. The idea is that once you have arrived at your new home, you can unpack this box first, and take some time to enjoy your new surroundings while taking a break and getting refreshed before tackling the unpacking.
 
Essential kitchenware
Ideally, you’ll want to pack everything you need for a basic bit of cooking and eating. This will probably include a frying pan, a pot (for pasta or rice), a set of cutlery for everyone and some plates and bowls. Food wise, try including anything that is fairly quick and easy to cook. Pasta and rice is always useful, along with any canned goods that aren’t too bulky. Some bread, milk and tea will be very useful too, so you can have a hot drink once you’ve arrived. Having all this prepared also saves you money on the inevitable first night take away costs that you might incur otherwise!
 
Essential clothing
You won’t need too much here, simply take some sleepwear, a comfortable set of tracksuit bottoms or jeans that you don’t mind getting a bit grimy when you unpack, and a change of clothes for the next day. This way you can get changed after the hard work of unloading the van and feel refreshed. By having a change of clothes for the next day too, you don’t have to worry about getting the unpacking done the same day you move in.
 
Essential Toiletries
Once again, simply pack everything you need for an overnight stay. Things such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, and any other products you need to use on a daily basis. You might also want to bring a few towels along and some soap or shower gel, so you can take a well deserved shower after unloading, and have everything you need accessible for the next morning.

Other essentials
It can also be useful to bring along things like a laptop or two if you have already organised your internet connection at your new property, plus things to do while travelling, such as books etc. If you are moving with children, then let them choose a few of their favourite toys they can bring along too, as this can avoid them getting bored or rooting through boxes for something to do once you’ve arrived. If you’re bringing pets, then bring some bedding and a few toys for them too, so they can get settled once you’ve unpacked.

Finally, remember to pack your essentials box last. It should also be the first thing you unpack. Once you’ve arrived, you can have a cup of tea and something to eat, and then start thinking about unpacking everything else. You might prefer to simply bring this along with you if you’re travelling by car or van, so you have it handy if anyone needs a snack or so on during the journey.

Quincy to Duxbury, MA Move 5/14

 On Tuesday, May 14th, three movers arrived at the Casey Movers office at 7 in the morning. They were scheduled to move a couple from their 3 bedroom home in Quincy (Quincy Movers) to a new home located in Duxbury, MA.
The couple, Andrew and Kathy, used Barbara Watkins as their realtor for their first home. For their new house they used Donna Wood as their realtor. Donna Wood is from McDonnell & Wood Realty located in Duxbury, MA (Duxbury Movers).
The couple first heard of Casey Movers from the internet, where we have several websites. Some of our websited include:

The three movers, Donald, Jimmy and Craig, arrived at the customer's home right on time. They didn't waste any time getting started - they introduced themselves to the customers, went over the paperwork with them and then began to load up the truck.
The movers brought plenty of heavy duty moving pads and blankets to wrap around each piece of furniture. They also brought a couple of plastic mattress bags to cover the customer's twin, full and queen size mattresses to keep them nice and clean during the move.

 The movers had to pack the truck nice and tight, since the customer had plenty of belongings to move including a freezer, a washer and a dryer. The crew leader, Donald, kept the team working hard. The movers all worked quickly, yet carefully.
 Once everything was loaded up, the movers jumped right back into the truck and headed for the customer's new home in Duxbury (Duxbury, MA Movers). Just like that morning, they wasted no time when they arrived, the movers started unloading the truck right away.

 The 3 movers worked long and hard into the late afternoon. They unloaded all the furniture, boxes and belongings into the house before arranging everything just the way the customers wanted it. By the end of the move, the customers had no complaints! The couple, Andrew and Kathy, had excellent things to say about the movers and the job in the Casey Movers Customer Comments.

Moving home with pets and children


Moving home is stressful enough as an adult, but for your children and pets it can often be a much more intense experience. Generally, children are quite resistant to sudden change, and the same can be said of most domestic animals too. There are a few things you can do, however, to make sure that your move has minimal negative impact on your family, and even create a positive experience for children especially.


Preparing for the move

It’s best to inform your children you are moving home as soon as possible. The sooner they are aware of the fact and the more time they will have to come to terms with the idea. It can also be a good idea to bring your children with you to see your new home before you move in. This will give them a sense of what to expect, and you could even let them choose their room and so on, giving them something to look forward to.

For your pets, it’s a good idea to get them checked out at your local vets to make sure they are healthy before the move. Also, if they are not used to car travel, you can try taking them with you on a run to the shops or if you have other quick errands. This will acclimatise them to travel slowly, if they are not used to it, and make moving day a bit less stressful for them.


Get your children involved

While of course, most of the hard work should be dealt with by the adults, there are other ways that you can get your children involved. The range of options largely depends on what age they are. If you have young children, then you can ask them about helping you out with ideas for decoration or where to put furniture, especially in their own rooms. This help them feel involved in the relocation process and not only get used to the idea of moving but hopefully create something for them to look forward to as well.

For older or teenage children, moving home may not be as much of an upheaval, but it can still be worth getting them involved. Older children might be able to help you with the packing and organising, as well as clearing out old things from the house, and so on.

Either way, do your best to make sure that your children feel part of the process, and make sure you answer any questions they might have about moving home. They might not all come at once, so make sure you are able to give your children the time to make them feel comfortable with moving. Keep an eye out for any changes in behaviour, as these can be signs of stress. If your child is not sleeping well, or changes their behaviour drastically, then they may be concerned about the move. Make it clear that they can talk to you about it at anytime, and consult your doctor for additional advice if necessary.

 
Pets and moving day

Most pets won’t like being cooped up in a travel cage for long, and even if you have acclimatised them to it somewhat as suggested above, it can be a good idea to make sure they have a favourite toy or something that smells familiar with them. Ideally, try to travel with your pets. They won’t take up much space in the car, so you can easily take them yourself. Constantly reassuring them vocally can be helpful to keep them at ease when travelling, and if you have children travelling with you, keep the pets close to them so they both have some company for the journey.

Rockland Storage to Dedham, MA Move 5/10

On Friday, May 10th, five movers arrived at the Casey Movers office early in the morning. The movers were scheduled to drive a large 18 wheeler out to the customer's house in Dedham. They knew ahead of time that the tractor trailer would not fit up the very long driveway, so they were to use a smaller truck to shuttle the items from the 18 wheeler up to the house.
The customer, Jen, had originally heard of Casey Movers from online research. Jen used Lisa Curlett from Pinnacle Realty to move out of her old house and Meg Cabot from Prudential Realty as her realtor for her new home.
Back in October of 2012, Casey Movers had packed, loaded and moved Jen's things into our storage facility in Rockland (Rockland, MA Movers) for a total of 6 months. Now that the 6 months is up, we are moving her back out of storage and into her new home in Dedham.

Once the five movers, Matt, Bob, Jorge F, Tim and Danny, had finished loading up all of the customer's belongings out of storage (Rockland Movers), they hopped right into the truck and headed for Dedham. As soon as the movers arrived at the customer's new home, they didn't waste any time getting started. The movers introduced themselves to the customer, went over the paperwork with her and then began to unload the truck.

 The movers unloaded each item carefully yet quickly. They treated each piece of furniture and each box like it was their own belongings, and because of that, the customer was very pleased.

The customer, Jen, told us:
 "The workers were well mannered and helpful - really wonderful."
On the Angie's List Review, Jen gave Casey Movers an A rating in responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism. She gave us a B rating in overall experience, price and quality.

The movers took very good care of the customer's furniture and belongings when moving them. They treated the items like their own. They wrapped each piece of furniture with heavy duty moving blankets and pads to keep them protected during the move. They also brought plastic mattress bags to cover the customer's beds to keep them nice and clean while in the truck.
Once the movers had loaded up the truck, they jumped right back in the cab of the truck and drove to the second destination to unload. Once they arrived, they began right away just like when they arrived that morning.
