Great news for anyone guilt-stricken after dumping the Christmas tree off at the curb; Charlotte is benefitting off of the discarded holiday foliage. Your Charlotte area relocation professionals recently learned of Compost Central; a local enterprise fund which will grind up more than forty thousand trees this month, saving space in landfills, and bringing in more revenue than you may be able to believe. Bringing in more than two million dollars in revenue last year, Compost Central is more than well-funded to provide the much-needed service to our city; what’s even better is that, as an enterprise fund, Compost Central does not rely on a single penny of taxpayer funding. Part of the local Charlotte organization’s income is earned through fees charged to individuals who utilize the tree-removal service. The mulch produced from the ground-up trees is sold and brings in another large hunk of Compost Central’s revenue. Your professional Charlotte moving experts like to call this a “win-win scenario,” and it shouldn’t be very difficult to understand why!

Charlotte is a beautiful and very nice place to call home, but many local residents think of Charlotte as the last place they want to be on Black Friday. GPS manufacturer, TomTom, definitely possesses a ton of traffic knowledge and, according to the company’s data Charlotte has the worst Black Friday traffic in the country! Your Charlotte moving professionals are happy to provide residential relocation services on a daily basis, but we are also happy that Black Friday is not a popular day for moving considering the nightmarish traffic our moving trucks would be subject to if it were. The South Park Mall parking lot is particularly notorious for its non-stop Black Friday traffic jams, which inspires many Charlotte residents to stay at home on this very crazy day!

Moving in Charlotte often means selling your house. Selling your home means showing your home, and there are certainly strategic ways to go about doing just that. With the ever-improving convenience of the internet, house-hunting people on the move have never had an easier experience pre-touring houses from the comfort of their own homes. Before making the trip to come view your house in person, today’s potential buyers need to be wowed, and if you have ever tried to take a snapshot of the inside of your house, you have probably had a difficult time taking pictures that do your home justice. There are great camera techniques for taking excellent pictures of your home’s interior. Your Charlotte mover found a brilliant product that would work wonders in capturing pictures showing the entire space inside each room in your house; unfortunately it is not yet available but just imagine how useful this throw-able panoramic camera ball will be once it hits stores!

Just used All My Sons for our move from Charlotte, NC to Virginia Beach, VA and it was a great experience from start to finish.

They were on time, packing went smooth and quick, the same guys who moved us out moved us into our new place and that was great! No lumpers used! Just a great calm, smooth experience from beginning to end. Oh! And best of all, my estimate was what I paid. To the dollar! Yay! -Kathleen E.

Many people are fortunate to have storage space available to them on site at their home. If you have the space available for storage, use it! Almost everybody has items that they don’t want to part with but at the same time don’t necessarily need taking up living space in the home. A clean home is a happy home, and packing clutter away in your storage shed can make your clean home even happier! When loading a storage unit, there are a few general rules of thumb which should be taken into consideration for the best possible success in your storage efforts. For one thing, be sure that you have some way to keep track of everything that is in your storage locker. Labeling boxes like you would during a residential move is smart practice. In addition to labeling boxes, keeping a list of items which are inside each box is also smart. Charlotte area professional movers keep an inventory of everything they touch which makes what we do extremely efficient. When you start placing items inside your storage space, be strategic. You probably have a limited amount of space to work with, so make the best of it. Stacking up as high as you can from the back to the front is a pretty efficient way to make the best of the storage space that you have, so arrange items accordingly to use up as much of the storage space from top to bottom as you can. If you have room left over after your items to be stored are all finished moving into their temporary home, you’ve done it right! Now go enjoy your clean and clutter-free home!
