Premiere Ft Myers Moving Company – 239-561-6300

It’s the holiday season and All My Sons Moving & Storage of Southwest Florida has been busy getting into the holiday spirit! One of our moving trucks had a special job to do this week- bring some holiday cheer to Southwest Florida children in need. Our Fort Myers local movers, Ray Wood (pictured below, left) and Charlie Perez (pictured below, right), donated their time as Santa’s elves, while one of our moving trucks served as Santa’s Sleigh to help deliver presents to over 350 children in partnership with The Children’s Network of Southwest Florida.

Local businesses and community members sponsored holiday gifts for the children, and All My Sons Moving & Storage of Southwest Florida played a pivotal part in fulfilling their commitments. Our Fort Myers movers helped transport hundreds of toys and other gifts from Fort Myers to Port Charlotte. The Operation Santa holiday toy drive was a huge success!

The Children’s Network of Southwest Florida is a non-profit in charge of the child welfare system in several Southwest Florida counties. The organization works to protect children and preserve families in the community, and is responsible for more than 2,300 children in need. Our movers are proud to have participated and supported such an amazing organization.

We would like to thank everyone involved in making this year’s holiday one to remember. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your Fort Myers local movers.

No matter what size boxes you are packing, you do not want to overload your boxes. Sometimes, we just want to get things done, but a strategically and carefully packed box will be well worth your time. No one wants to be that person that has a box come apart while they are walking to the truck or walking down the stairs. After all, the items that you are moving probably have significance to you, so you should know how to pack them correctly and safely in moving boxes. The Fort Myers movers from All My Sons Moving & Storage are here to tell you how much weight should go into moving boxes.

The first thing you need to do to start packing is plan ahead. You want to have an idea of how many boxes you will need. A packing checklist can usually give you an idea of how many boxes you are going to need. There are also some online tools on the Internet that you can use.

When you finally decide how many boxes you’re going to need, you have to make sure you’re packing them correctly. According to our Fort Myers movers, you should check the bottom of the box for the “gross weight limit.” This is usually a good indication of how much you can actually pack in the box.

Another good rule of thumb is: pack the lighter items in the large boxes and the heavier items in the smaller boxes. If you do this, you’ll have a much easier time carrying your boxes, and you’ll be glad you did.

Moving is the perfect opportunity to get rid of anything you aren’t taking to your new house- especially clothes! Clothing in your closet can definitely add up overtime, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it all to your new house. The Fort Myers movers from All My Sons Moving & Storage are going to tell you what to do with old clothes that you don’t want to pack.

The first thing you need to do when you are going through all your old clothes is decide what can be sold, donated, or is ready to be thrown out. What can be better than getting rid of things, while also making some money? There are so many easy ways to sell old clothes online, or if you’re feeling up for it, you can have a yard sale!

If you don’t want to sell your old clothes, or if you don’t have the time, our Fort Myers movers suggest that you should consider donating them to a non-profit organization, charity or church that accepts donations. There are so many people in need of clothing, so you should consider donating your unwanted items to those that can make great use of them.

Sometimes, clothes are just not salvageable and need to be thrown out. If this is the case, go for it, get rid of them. The less stuff you are packing to take to your new house, the less money you’ll be spending on packing services. It’s truly a win-win for you!

Let’s get straight to it, moving is hard. Why is it hard? It is so time consuming and honestly, wouldn’t you rather be doing something else? On top of that, moving is stressful.

You are all settled into your new home. Each room is set up and all of your personal items are unboxed and in place. Now, what to do with all those moving boxes? Throw them away? Absolutely not! All My Sons’ full service movers in Fort Myers, are here to bring you some tips on what to do with your packing supplies after you have moved to Fort Myers, Florida.

First option, recycle, recycle, recycle. Too often perfectly good moving boxes are thrown away and completely wasted. Get in contact with your new town’s city hall about recycling programs. Often, they will assist or completely take the boxes off your hands.

Can’t recycle? Sell them. Once again, just because you cannot find a recycling option, does not mean that you should immediately turn to the trash. That should be a last resort and avoided at all costs. Check online, there are plenty of sites that will buy used moving boxes that are still in pristine condition.

Still no luck? Ask your kids. Kids tend to have wild and very creative imaginations. Turn those moving boxes into a new playhouse, a robot suit, or your kid’s favorite animal. Regardless, kids will be kids and will be able to come up with some way to take those boxes to the next level.

No matter which route you choose, All My Sons Moving & Storage’s full service movers in Fort Myers can answer any questions you have regarding packing supplies in Fort Myers, where to find them and where to dispose of them properly after a move.

Now that your budget is in order, it is time to select the best packing supplies in Fort Myers.

Packing Supplies

Very often overlooked are the boxes in which you are using. We understand you have old boxes laying around that can be used, so why buy new ones? The answer is simple, new boxes are sturdy and can hold heavier items. They haven’t gone through any wear and tear and gives you one less thing to worry about. Additionally, get a new roll of the best quality, heavy-duty duct tape. The combination of new boxes and the heavy-duty tape will secure your items and help your move go smoother.

There are some other packing supplies in Fort Myers that you will need for the more fragile items. Consider padded blankets and bubble wrap. Don’t be afraid to use extra padding because it will be your best friend in the end and can prevent your fragile possessions from any damage.

Organize Your Documents

Too often, customers are scrambling throughout boxes and other moving supplies in search of receipts. Before the move, use a bright colored binder or purchase one for all of your documents.

Include in your binder:

Receipts

Estimates

Agreements

Forms

Any other documents regarding the move

Pack a Snack

You’re making a very big move, during the process you will be burning off a lot of energy. Bring a nutritious snack to ensure you are properly fueled and water to keep you hydrated.

Snacks to consider:

Fruits

Nuts (Peanuts, Cashews, etc.)

Candy Bars

Water/Juice

Coffee

Snacks for your movers (they are handling your possessions, they need energy too)

Moving day, a day of excitement, stress and every emotion in between. Fortunately, our professionals here at All My Sons Moving & Storage have comprised a list of tips to make your move that much easier.

Moving Budget

This is a must before beginning any move. Stick to it; having the list and not using it can leave you open to unexpected financial problems once the move is complete. Some things to include in your budget:

Consider Insurance

-You’re moving your personal possessions. Alleviate stress by knowing your items are covered.

Moving Company Costs

-This can vary based on the service, how much inventory you have, the distance of the move, etc.

Extra Costs

-Consider your inventory, but look for special items like furniture, a piano and any other fragile large items. Also consider your costs for packing supplies in Fort Myers.

Wiggle Room

-It is important to leave yourself some extra cash. Often times, unexpected costs or events can occur. It is always better to have a little what if or just-in-case money for those unexpected moments. It also doesn’t hurt to have extra money if your wiggle room stash is not used.

Create an Inventory List

Many times, families moving have a very large inventory and don’t make a check list of all their items. Although the move may be successful, weeks later you’re scrambling once you’re unpacked and don’t know where the missing items are. With the help of your checklist and marking down everything that has been put in the moving trucks, you can eliminate the hassle of searching for your items, save valuable time and even prevent losing items.

Ask the Fort Myers movers how crazy things get around the city during Spring Break. Central Florida is a common destination because of the warm weather, close access to the beach and plenty of additional amenities to create a one-of-a-kind Spring Break experience.

Plenty of Things to Do

You only have one week to create the ultimate vacation, so there is a lot to pack into a short amount of time. Naturally, there is the Fort Myers beach where you can soak up some rays and party with other Spring Breakers. Popular activities also include:

• Paragliding
• Parasailing
• Jetskiing
• Waterskiing

You can rent all the equipment you need and have an incredible experience. If you feel like doing something a little more low-key, you can take a ride on the Key West Express. You will be taken around the city, providing you some much needed time to kick back and relax.

Ample Accommodations

As much time as you will be spending out and about with friends, you will be spending an equal amount of time sleeping and recharging as you get ready for more fun. Fort Myers has embraced its reputation as a Spring Break destination, so there are plenty of lodging options for visitors. One of the most popular places for tourists to stay is the Lani Kai Island Resort, which gives you easy access to restaurant, bars and close access to the beach. If Lani Kai is already booked, then do not fear. There are numerous other hotels right by the ocean so that you can walk to and from all the parties.

People planning on moving to Fort Myers should be prepared for a week of craziness every year. All these Spring Break amenities just mean there will be a ton of things for you to do throughout the year. Hire All My Sons of Fort Myers to take care of your move, so you can start celebrating Spring Break all year long.

Anyone with plans on moving to Fort Myers has a lot to take care of beforehand. One of the most important is determining where your kids are going to go to school. Hire Fort Myers movers to handle the actual moving process, so you can conduct research into the best schools in the area.

Elementary Schools

Parents interested in sending their kids to private institutions for elementary school are in luck. Fort Myers is home to St. Michael Lutheran School and St. Francis Xavier School where children get a Christian education from kindergarten through the 8^th grade. However, there are plenty of fantastic public schools as well, including:

• Three Oaks Elementary School
• Allen Park Elementary School
• Orangewood Elementary School

Are you interested in giving your kids an education from a charter school? Six Mile Charter Academy and Gateway Charter School are also within the Fort Myers school district.

High Schools

Fort Myers High School is a top place of learning. In fact, it ranked at #669 within national rankings. In terms of all the high schools within the state of Florida, it ranked at #47. It is an exceptional high school where a majority of students are proficient in math and English. Other high schools to consider include:

• Cypress Lake High School
• Dunbar High School
• Bishop Verot Catholic High School
• Gateway Charter High School

Colleges

Florida Gulf Coast University is a public university that offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. There is also Florida Southwestern State College, which has campuses located all over the state. If none of these have the programs you or your child is looking for, there are plenty of other universities in the state that are a quick drive away.

Fort Myers presents excellent opportunity for students at any grade level. When moving to Fort Myers, you typically have access to schools within the Lee County School District. Take your time looking at institutions while the professionals at All My Sons of Fort Myers handle moving all your belo
