    Commercial Movers in St Paul

    If your St Paul business is relocating, you want to be sure you hire the best and most dependable commercial movers. St Paul moving company RJ Moving has some tips on how to find the best company in your area. And if you’re moving in St Paul or the surrounding area, give us a call and find out more about our commercial movers services and how we can help you!

    The first thing you want to consider when hiring commercial movers in St Paul is your timeline. You will want to set aside about 8 weeks to do all of your research and leg work to find the best movers. Word-of-mouth referrals are one of the best ways to find the most trustworthy commercial movers in your area. Then you are going to want to think about your budget and how much you can spend on commercial movers. Consider making a list of the things you can do on your own vs. what you’d have to pay an outside company to do.

    Then take an inventory of the items the commercial movers will have to move. Will you be taking a lot of large furniture? Also keep in mind what time of year it is, and remember that commercial movers are usually busier during the warmer months. Try to see if you can schedule your move for an off-peak time, like during the cooler winter months.

    When you get your contract from your St Paul commercial movers, read it carefully and make sure you understand every single part. Responsible commercial movers like RJ Moving will sit with you to make sure you understand the contract and the services we will provide to you during your St Paul move.

    Winter Moving Tips from Professional Movers in St. Paul

    Winter can be one of the best times of year to move. If you’re trying to buy a home, it’s a buyer’s market because people who are selling their home in winter tend to want to sell it as quickly as possible. If you’re renting, landlords try to attract tenants with discounts on rent or other perks. But winter can also be one of the most stressful and hectic times of year to move. RJ Moving has some professional movers’ tips for your St. Paul move. And we’re not just professional movers, St. Paul also knows us for our packing and storage services too. We have some suggestions for how to make your St. Paul winter move smoother and safer for everyone involved – you and your professional movers.

    Be sure there is somewhere that is clear of snow and ice for the professional movers to park their moving van. Even if you don’t have a driveway at your St. Paul home, make sure there is a clear space on the road for your professional movers to park. Take the time to shovel a path between where they will be parking and your home, and take extra care to make sure there is no ice.

    Make sure your porch is also clear of snow, ice and debris. This is especially important for any stair-steps that are involved, so please make sure you put some salt or sand down to increase traction. RJ Moving takes the time to lay down plastic to make sure we don’t track any dirt, snow or other debris into your home and onto the floors.

    And don’t neglect your new home either! The same should be done at your new St. Paul home as well. If you take the time to make your driveway, walkway and porch safer, this will make the moving process go a lot faster.

    When you’re ready to move, call RJ Moving at (612) 384-2028 to talk to us about our professional movers in St. Paul or contact us online for a free estimate.

    Storage Services in Minnesota

    Choosing the right storage service in Minnesota can be tricky sometimes. It’s not something you usually think about until you have to. We here at RJ Moving offer storage services. Minnesota residents (new and old!) can take advantage of our storage facility, and we have a few tips to make finding a good storage service a bit easier on you.

    Selecting the best storage services in Minnesota for your needs starts with some brain-storming on your part. Think about how many items you need to store. Remember that your items can be stacked in the storage space, and if your storage services don’t already provide them, consider buying shelves. There are inexpensive plastic ones that are easily popped together, so your items can be stacked floor to ceiling as well as on the floor.

    Once you figure that out, start shopping around for the best storage services in your area of Minnesota. Get several different price quotes before deciding on which one you want to use. Make sure the storage facility is climate-controlled and secure, like the ones at RJ Moving. See if the storage services have cameras throughout the building. And try not to pick a storage unit that’s near the elevator. Some places in Minnesota will charge more for these units! Check out the actual storage services building too. Will you need to use an elevator to get your belongings in and out? Or is the building all one level? Does it have a reception desk, or are people able to come and go as they please?

    But if you’re moving in Minnesota and need storage services you definitely can trust, call RJ Moving and talk to one of our knowledgeable staff members about our storage services. Call (612) 284-2028 or contact us online and request a free quote.

    Budgeting for Your Professional Movers in Minnesota

    When you’re moving in Minnesota and hiring professional movers, creating and sticking to a moving budget can be a big pain! But, in the end, it’s worth it when you know exactly how much you can spend so there are no surprises. RJ Moving has a few tips to help with your moving budget, so when your professional movers come to your Minnesota home, you are ready and good to go.

    First of all, figure out what it will cost you to move out of your home, as in, factor in any final utility bills, any repairs you have to make to your former home and any fees you might be charged if you’re terminating a lease early. Look over your moving estimate from your Minnesota professional movers company, RJ Moving, and make sure you understand every charge and what professional movers services we will provide.

    Then, look over your Minnesota house and start estimating how many boxes you will need, plus how much packing tape and other packing materials you think you will be using. It is always better to overestimate than underestimate. You don’t want to be packing your items the day before you move only to find out you are short on moving boxes or tape, just as your professional movers are showing up! (But don’t worry – RJ Moving can help with all of your packing needs too!)

    Start budgeting for gas for the trips you will be taking to and from your new home. Is your new Minnesota home right down the street or across the state? Set aside some spending money for meals on-the-go and for any last-minute supplies you might need. For example, if you cut a finger, you might need to run to the store to get band-aids and Neosporin.

    Also, when looking over your final utility bills at your former Minnesota home, call your new utility companies and ask them how much they will charge you to turn on your new utilities. Some Minnesota companies will do this for free, while others will have to send trained technicians to your new home to get the utilities turned on. You can also set an appointment time during this call. Keep track of every appointment on a small calendar so you don’t get your dates and times confused!

    And for all of your professional movers needs in Minnesota, don’t hesitate to call RJ Moving at (612) 384-2028, or you can contact us online and request a free quote. We can help with any professional movers services you might need!

    Details to Think About Before Your Minnetonka Professional Mover Company Arrives

    When you’re in the process of moving in Minnetonka, you might think you have everything under control. Your professional mover company, RJ Moving, is all lined up and scheduled to come to your house at a set time and date. You only have a few things left to pack before the professional mover company arrives. You have keys to the front door of your new Minnetonka home. We already covered a few last-minute moving details in another blog we posted. Here are a few more things to consider before your professional mover company gets to your house.

    Does your new Minnetonka home have a driveway? If not, have you considered the logistics of having a professional mover van parked in the street? Go to your new home and check out how much space is on the street, and be sure there is enough room for your neighbors to get by. And make sure walkways are clear of debris so your professional mover company can easily unload your items.

    Take some time to visit with your old Minnetonka neighbors and get anything you let them borrow throughout the years. You don’t want your professional mover company to get you moved into your new Minnetonka home only for you to remember you let Mr. Jones down the street borrow your hammer a few months ago! Right when you really need it too! Also, visiting with your former neighbors gives you a chance to say goodbye and return any items of theirs you may have borrowed through the years.

    Did you remember to call your Minnetonka electric company and get the lights turned on at your new house? What about the water company? It is recommended that you get your utilities turned on at least three days before your professional mover company comes to move you into your new house. Don’t forget to let the utilities know you’re moving so you’re not stuck with someone else’s bill!

    When you’re ready to hire a professional mover company for your Minnetonka move, call RJ Moving at (612) 384-2028 or contact us online for a free quote. We proudly serve Minnetonka and the surrounding areas, and we offer professional mover services and more.

    Tips for First-Time Homebuyers

If you look at the big picture, it may seem overwhelming. Take everything step-by-step and before you know it, your Minnesota moving company will be taking all your belongings to your new home.

    Budget

    The first thing you need to do is sit down and figure out what you can realistically afford, in terms of purchasing a new home in Minnesota. From there, you’ll need to lay out a budget that you know you’ll be able to stick to. When planning out the budget, don’t forget about all the little costs including taxes, closings costs, hiring a moving company and more!

    Home Inspections

    Don’t skip the home inspection when you’re purchasing a home in Minnesota. A home inspection benefits the buyer and the seller. As a home buyer, it puts you in a better bargaining position. If you are aware of what’s going to need fixed, you can request the seller fixes it or request a reduced price. Don’t cut corners and think you don’t need an inspection. It may save you from headaches later.

    Minnesota Moving Company

    When all is said and done, you’re probably going to want some help from a moving company! A Minnesota moving company can provide reliable and timely services. Our Minnesota moving company is very experienced in helping first-time movers. We’ll get you from here to there without trouble. We want you to enjoy your first home buying experience.

    Minnesota Spotlight: Saint Paul

    Are you moving to the Twin Cities, but not sure which city would be right for you? There’s plenty of love to go around, but some Minnesotans have their preferences. In this blog, we’re going to highlight some of the reasons to move to St Paul, Minnesota.

    Winter Activities

    Since it’s winter practically all year round in Minnesota,  it’s important to know what to do when there’s snow on the ground. St Paul has a number of cross-country skiing trails, ice fishing lakes and sledding hills. From St Paul it’s a short drive to many snowmobile trails and downhill skiing facilities. It has an active ski club so you can adventure around the area. Also, St Paul has a number of shops where you can rent almost any outdoor winter activity equipment.

    Sporting Events

    St Paul hosts the Minnesota Wild, Minnesota’s own ice hockey team. If you’re moving to the Twin Cities, being a hockey fan is practically a prerequisite. Cheer on the home team from Xcel Energy Center throughout the entire NHL season. The St Paul Saints also call St Paul MN home. They are a professional baseball team, not affiliated with any major league teams. This team turns up the excitement from the middle of May through the beginning of September.

    Endless Entertainment

    St Paul has the best of both worlds. No matter what your hobbies are, you can probably find a group of people who love the same things. There are amusement parks, golf, zoos, shopping, parks and so much more. Whether you’re the type that likes to dine in or dine out, you’ll be calling St Paul home. The city has a great vibe and friendly residents. You could be the newest addition!

    Looking to move to St Paul MN? Give us a call today at 612-384-2028 or contact us online.

    Guest Blog: Hiring a Commercial Cleaning Service Before You Move

    In business for more than a decade, All Source is a one-stop shop that provides carpet cleaning, floor care, window washing and power washing. Locally owned and operated and serving the Twin Cities metro area, they take the time to personalize their services for each client’s needs. Owner Dan Shanesy spent 17 years as a commercial property manager, so he knows the ins and outs of property management and clients’ needs and wants. All Source has helped a variety of businesses: from large manufacturing plants to small medical practices.

    Moving to a new Minneapolis business can be one of the most stressful times of your professional life. Between finding a new office or warehouse space, packing up your office furniture and supplies and finding a moving company like RJ Moving, your mind is probably filled to the brim with all of the things that need to get done before moving day. But one of the most often-overlooked aspects of moving is making sure your old business space and new business space are clean.

    When you’re moving into an office or warehouse that someone used before you, it can be a guessing game as to how clean it really is. Sure, superficially it might look clean, but once you get past your initial excitement that the Big Moving Day is finally here, you might start to notice that there are cobwebs in the corners or dust along the floorboards or the vents are caked in dirt. Or maybe the grout in the bathroom is a lot more moldy than you remember. If you hire a commercial cleaning service, cleaning is one less thing you have to worry about. That way, you’ll know your new business space is as clean as it can be and ready for you to move into. The only things you’ll have to focus on once you move in is unpacking and organizing your office furniture and supplies.

    And if you leased your old office or warehouse space, you want to be sure you get as much of your security deposit back as you can. Most of the time, in order to get all of that money back, the landlords want the office space to be as clean as possible. And in the hub-bub of moving and trying to make sure every detail is taken care of, you might overlook a big cleaning task. For example, does your old office or warehouse have ceiling fans? They can get incredibly dusty and as soon as you turn them on, that dust goes flying all over the place.

    If you hire a commercial cleaning service though, a lot of that stress and those extra details are taken off of your plate. Sure, that’s extra money coming out of your pocket, but the peace of mind that you’ll get will be worth it in the long run. (Plus, that security deposit could help cover the cost!)

    And when you’re ready to move, give All Source a call at (651) 405-9276 or visit our website and get more information on commercial cleaning services and a free estimate. We’re here and ready to help with all of your commercial cleaning needs!
