Getting Organized and Staying Organized During a Move



If you are planning on moving, it can be a daunting task. There is a lot to think about, many decisions to be made and many different parts that need to be corralled into one cohesive whole. Our moving company serving Ramsey County has helped many families like yours move, and we have some suggestions for you on what to do to get and stay organized during a move.

Get a Notebook
Go to the store and buy a notebook with lined paper. Add in some pouches for receipts and a business card holder. Use the notebook for to do lists and to keep track of information from your moving company, like written estimates and receipts. If you have any upcoming moving-related appointments, write them down in your notebook so you can keep track of them. This is also a great way to keep track of items you will need for your new home.

Get Packing
We cannot stress this enough – start packing as soon as you decide to move. Make sure you label each box with what’s in it and where it should eventually end up in your new home. This will help your moving company keep track of your boxes and will help ensure your boxes end up where you want them. We recommend that you pack your essential items last. Anything you need up till the day your moving company arrives should be set aside and packed last. This includes toiletries, a change or two of clothing and other related items.

Get Downsizing
While you are packing up, go through the items you don’t want. Donate those items, give them to friends or throw them away. Remember: the less stuff you have to move, the better! There will be less to sort through at your final destination.

Time to Move: Choosing the Best Moving Company



Moving is an incredibly stressful time. Between figuring out where you are moving to, packing up items big, small, fragile and not fragile, loading and unloading the moving truck – it’s exhausting just thinking about it! Finding the best moving company can also be quite a task. Thankfully, we have a few suggestions on how to find the best moving company in Anoka County

·         Interview, interview, interview! Interview several different companies to find the best moving company for you and your moving needs. Get estimates on how much they cost and get more information about what services the moving company offers. Take the time to compare prices and services from company to company.

·         During the interview process, find out more about the moving company. How long have they been in business? How do they screen their employees when they hire them? Ask about references, and then go online and read reviews from former customers. 

·         Find out if the moving company is licensed, bonded and insured. These are three key things you want your moving company to have. 

By doing your homework now and finding the best moving company for your needs, you can save yourself a lot of hassle (and possibly money!) in the long run. If you hire a moving company like ours, you won’t have to worry. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and we fully screen all of our employees before we hire them.

Don't lose things in the shuffle - relocation storage for any size



If you're moving around the Twin Cities, you may be short on space and time. That's where a local storage company comes in. You can rest assured that we'll take good care of your things. We're not a large chain store, so you're sure to not get lost in the shuffle. You'll get the personalized attention you deserve. You can rely on and trust our Twin Cities storage company.

Storing Your Items
We know how frequently things can change when you're planning a move. Whether you're planning to store your items or not, it's good to have options. You might run out of time or perhaps realize that you forgot to plan for relocating some large items that were maybe in a garage or other room.

If you're thinking of keeping your possessions long term, we recommend NOT renting a portable storage container. These can add up quickly in cost if you can’t decide where to move your things within a certain window. And they’re not climate controlled and you run the risk of damaging your belongings with temperature and humidity changes.We recommend instead storing your items with us in a secure facility. 


Benefits to using a storage company in the Twin Cities
  1. Things are safer in our locked facility
  2. Your items are protected from exposure to the elements (temperature and humidity)
  3. You won’t be charged and arm and a leg for extending your storage
Twin Cities Storage Company with Open Units
