6 Tips to Protect Your Floors During Your Move

Are you relocating your home or business? Whether you plan to do it yourself or hire a professional moving company, make sure there is adequate protection for your floors. Here are some of our top suggestions:

Runners for wooden floors

Runners are useful to prevent scratches and dents on the floors. They come on a roll with an adhesive surface on one side and non-slip surface on the other.

Carpet film

If your house is carpeted, a carpet film or mask may be more suitable. The film is a durable, stretchy material that is placed over the carpet to protect it from dirt and other debris. It is also easy to walk on since it has a slip-free surface.

Furniture sliders

These are placed under the legs of heavy furniture and allow for easy movement. Sliders are available in different shapes and sizes to suit the size of your items.

Plywood and cardboard

Plywood is a relatively cheap and durable material. It provides protection especially if you are using dollies to help move your furniture. You can also flatten cardboard and use in heavy traffic areas to provide additional protection.

Furniture blankets and old rugs

Blankets can be used to cover furniture and the edges of items. Rugs have a cushioning effect against dents and would protect the carpet from dirt and other debris.

Functional teams

Having functional teams can help to minimize the amount of dirt, snow and other particles from getting on your floors. One team could focus on moving items from the rooms to the exit point. Another team could take the items from the exit to the vehicles.

Getting to know Your New Neighborhood When You Moving to Las Vegas

In today’s world, it is almost rare to have neighbors at your door step, introducing themselves — maybe even with a delicious treat at hand. As a result, one is forced to reach out a little more to one’s new neighbors. But reach out how? We hope these few small advice can help you.

When first moving into a new neighborhood, take in the surroundings as much as possible. It is the best way to get to know key points of interests in your new area: like the local stores,banks, roads, and much more.

Walking around your new surroundings has other advantages than just familiarizing yourself with the area. It is a chance to meet your new neighbors. You can linger by the pool, or the mail box. Take the dog for a nice long walk. This will allow you to approach your new neighbors in a calm setting.

If you’re completely new in town, and would like to make some new friends, consider taking a class at a local school,joining a local community, or going to local events. It is always difficult to move to a new place. Being active, and taking charge on the matter is what makes all the difference.

Tips Of The Trade To Make Packing Easy

Tips Of The Trade To Make Packing Easy

When you’re all ready to move from Las Vegas, all the items around the house are suddenly casting their shadows all across the room, as if taunting you. Packing everything is hard, but using a few simple tips, it can be easier.

Tip #1: Never Procrastinate. Start packing a few weeks in advance, and be sure to begin with the less essential items first. Don’t risk becoming overwhelmed.

Tip #2 Go room by room. Set your attention to one part of the room each time, and don’t mix items between rooms for no good reason. To protect and to prevent the loss of small artifacts, be sure to wrap them in papers.

Tip #3 Always Label. Label once, label twice, on the top, on the side. Use stickers with different color for each room. Number and organize your boxes based on rooms and content. This will allow you to unpack more quickly, and will allow the movers to know where each box belongs.

Tip #4 Use Good Boxes. Just any old box won’t do, most of the time. Moving boxes are designed to hold weight and pressure of items. Other than that, using random box sizes can create gaps make loading the truck more difficult.

Tip #5 Know your rights and responsibilities.

Tip #6 Don’t randomly box up important or hazardous materials. Be sure to know what you can and can’t pack. Some items that are common around the house can’t be shipped. Other important items and any small irreplaceable items should be transported personally (heirlooms, passports, wills, photo albums, etc.)
