Another Great Houston Moving Review!
Often enough we only hear of the bad things happen… Whether it’s a police officer that gave you a ticket, the service at a restaurant that was terrible, or about a move that people just aren’t happy with. We love to get feedback from our customers, and sometimes the feedback is so great it makes you so proud of the crews that you have working for you.
I had a letter faxed to me about a move that we today did for some customers of ours.
To the management of All My Sons Moving and Storage:
"Before another day passed by, we wanted to take time to think your company and especially your crew for wonderful moving experience. Your company called numerous times to verify the moving date and time. The crew showed up right at the specific time."
"The crew was to Jerome, Anthony, and Andy. They were three of the hardest working gentlemen we have ever seen. They were nonstop and in no way did they even consider resting. We say gentlemen because they were also very polite, respectful, and just all around nice. It took 7 ½ hours to move just a mile. Can you imagine if we had to do that all ourselves? It would have taken days and then some time in the hospital."
"The night before the move we were thinking all my gosh this is going to be crazy.”
"Nope it was just fine… it was a great move."
"By the way… one last thing... It is excellent how your company wraps the furniture and protects it like it is your own. Seems like overkill for such a short distance but we have to say when we saw what happened when you were in good hands."
"Thanks again so much for making this experience wonderful, we have been telling everyone. We hope you find more business."

Avoid Moving Day Headaches by Planning Ahead!
Plan Ahead and Avoid the Headaches of Moving...
Here are some tips from your favorite Houston mover - All My Sons Moving and Storage of Houston!
Moving tips:
So much to do… so little time (or so it seems)… Whether you’re moving across town or to another state, you should familiarize yourself with what’s involved with moving and begin organizing 2-3 months in advance. By pacing yourself, the move won’t seem nearly as overwhelming. You could also involve the entire family by spreading certain responsibilities to each person, even the children. The following checklist should help you with this process.
8-12 Weeks Ahead
Purchase a notebook, with front and back pockets to record and file any correspondence and/or documents that pertain to your moving.
Set-up appoints with two moving companies to give you estimates and information.
Consider items that you will not be taking with you and organize a garage sale (including items from the basement or attic).
Items that don’t sell can be given to charity. Be sure to get a receipt, your donation can be tax deductible.
6 Weeks Ahead
Collect and/or buy boxes for packing. These can be purchased from a local mover.
Make a list of everyone you need to notify: Friends, relatives, banks, utilities, doctors, insurance companies, business contacts, newspapers, subscriptions, etc.
Contact doctors, dentist, and lawyers for copies of records or documents you will need to take with you.
Make travel arrangements (Home closings are often delayed, and there may be other matters that need attention).
Make travel arrangements for any pets.
3 Weeks Ahead
Obtain and prepare change of address notices from the post office, for friends, church, clubs, organizations, and anyone else not already contacted on the list compiled three weeks earlier.
Contact utility companies and other services such as: cable/satellite, trash collection, and newspaper about discontinuing service or change of address. Companies servicing the new locale will need to be notified. Be sure to keep phone and utilizes connected at your current home through moving day.
Contact insurance companies to arrange types of coverage you will need: Homeowner’s, auto, etc.
Collect important papers to take with you: wills, deeds, stocks/bonds, etc.
Contact your present bank about closing your account and/or safety deposit box and then obtaining a new one in the new location.
Contact your moving company to confirm all the arrangements and method of payment.
7 Days Ahead
Start with closets, packing clothes. Mark boxes and color-code them as to what room in which they belong.
Give away plants not being moved.
5 Days Ahead
Continue packing remainder of the house.
4 Days Ahead
Go over your list and complete miscellaneous items.
Arrange for servicing of your appliances unless your moving company representative is handling this for you.
Pay any last minute bills.
Pick up tickets, and/or traveler’s checks (if needed or not already obtained).
Make any last minute arrangements for closing.
Continue packing.
3 Days Ahead
Attend closing, keeping all documents in a special place to be transported.
2 Days Ahead
Movers come to pack (not in all cases).
Pack luggage with several days’ worth of clothing.
Prepare a survival kit for the first day you arrive. Items needed might be an emergency medical kit, towels, bedding, soap, toilet paper, cereal, milk, coffee pot, filters, coffee, cooking utensils, light bulbs, hammer, screwdriver, etc.
Moving day
Recheck moving list.
Supervise movers. Make sure they have your contact numbers and proper instructions. Also helpful is a color coded rough drawing of the floor plan in your new house. This can tell the movers which rooms to place boxes and also where furniture is to be located in each room.
Check to make sure nothing is left behind.
Leave house keys, garage door openers, etc. in a special place to give to the new owner.

How We Store Your Belongings!
Instead of storing your furniture and items in a public self storage, at All My Sons Moving & Storage we do things a little different. First we start at the residence by inventorying all items. This lets us and the customer know exactly what items, quantity, and actual condition of the shipment. We then blanket pad wrap all furniture. After loading the shipment on board our truck, we unload at our facility. Each item is then loaded into a sealed storage vault. Each item that is loaded into a vault is labeled on a “Bingo Sheet” to properly identify that a specific item is in a specific vault. Once each vault is completely loaded (heavy base pieces on bottom, middle items in the middle and light items on top) they are sealed and labeled. The vaults are stored in a weather controlled environment until such time that the customer desires for them to be delivered.
A few advantages for storing items this way: 1) they remain blanket padded throughout the process, 2) each item is stored in sealed vaults (protection from weather and being lost) and 3) each item is properly identified and inventoried to protect the customer and your Houston mover.
When you’re ready for your belongings, give us a call and we’ll schedule time to bring your belongings to you. Not only do we deliver it, but we will also place everything where you want.

Happy 4th of July Houston!
Happy Fourth of July from All My Sons of Houston… Whether you’re doing some of the traditional barbecuing, heading out to the lake - or even heading downtown for the fireworks show have fun and be safe.
Traditional foods from the Fourth of July include fudge, macaroni and cheese, pudding, crab cakes and of course barbecue!
Patriotic melodies include America the Beautiful, God Bless America, Hail to the chief, Marines Hymn, Star-Spangled Banner, and of course Yankee Doodle.
What would the Fourth of July be without a party? On Friday, July 4, 2008 down at Buffalo Bayou it is the Chevy Freedom over Texas! That’ll be America’s largest land-based fireworks show! There will be live concerts from country artists Sarah Evans, Miranda Lambert, and Jo Dee Messina.
There will be the NASCAR exhibit. Where you’ll get to get up close and personal with some of those cars you love to watch race on the NASCAR circuit!
Check out the Texas Volleyball Championship over at the Bud Zone…
And what would the Fourth of July be without some kind of car show? That’s right Chevy will have a mini auto show at Liberty Park! This includes some military vehicles like a Desert Seal Patrol vehicle and a 55 ton and M-60 battle tank. Then you get to interact with representatives and members of our Armed Forces. Wait!!! Chevy hasn’t been outdone yet they still have some of today’s hottest cars and trucks as well as the Concept Camaro car from the movie Transformers and the Cobalt Time Attack!
This is also a chance to remember that this is America’s birthday… think of all the battles that have been fought, and the soldiers that have fought bravely.

Houston Livestock Show, Houston Movers, and Fathers Day
So here it is the night before Father’s Day I’m thinking back to old memories of family and friends - and spending holidays together. To any fathers that are reading this Happy Father’s Day!
I went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo - I wanted to see Rascal Flatts and it was an awesome concert!
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a long-standing Houston tradition. 2008 marks the 76 year anniversary of the HLSR!
Of course, most folks think about the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, they think entertainment... They get to watch the rodeo, the livestock and horse competition, etc. Those attending the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo get to be part of the second largest fair in North America! No one can forget the world-class barbecue cook-off!
My favorite part - music concerts! Each year some of the biggest names in music come to Houston! Popular country stars like Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, and many others! It was like a trip down memory lane… It reminded me of going there when I was a little kid. It also brought back other memories, memories of fishing and going for drives…
It also brought back some of those not so fond memories - like having to move. I remember moving as a child, the hot summer sun beating down on us, Dad being upset, yelling, the headaches, and all the body aches.
The funny thing is the last time I moved I didn’t even have to do it myself. I used a local Houston mover. I know - I know it seems like each cheating – but now I never want to move myself again. I used Houston movers - All My Sons. The guys came out, they wrapped up my wooden furniture, and I didn’t even have to unpack my dressers! They disassembled my bed; they even reassembled it, and put everything where I wanted it to go! Now I never want to have to move myself again! Looking back I wish dad would have used a Houston mover like this…

Houston Moving Company - No Show?
Welcome to my blog… Just to fill you in – I work for All My Sons Moving and Storage. We’re a local moving and storage company that specializes in local moves and long distance moves. I’m writing this to help you deal with some or the not so great Houston Movers - and help you choose a great Houston moving company!
Ok, so here it is – the start of another month… That means it’s a flood of calls from people wanting to move. That means plenty of people that are pissed because their movers didn’t show up. They just left them waiting around for them. There some local movers that tell customers that they will be there and then never show up!
What happens is these companies book your move, after telling you what a great job they will do for you. They hang up the phone… Then the phone rings and it’s a larger move. You have a decent sized house… 2-3 bedrooms along with 2-3 other rooms. The problem is the next call is bigger – and these little local movers have to chase the bigger moves. If you are in an Apartment – forget it!
Go with a reputable company. Choose a local mover that will not bail out on you at the last moment. Houston’s local movers - All My Sons Moving and Storage. scrambles to
get our men to cover moves that other local companies don't show up for every month. Some Houston movers use Brokers. My next blog I will cover Brokers. I’ll tell you what they are and why they should be avoided!
