Types of Moves Offered in Tampa, Florida
Residential Movers in Tampa, Florida
Residential move is a catch-all term that refers to a personal move involving a change of residence. It doesn’t matter if the move is within the same city, to a different city, outside of the state, or even outside of the country. All of these are considered residential.
Furthermore, all of these are handled by Three Men And A Truck. If you need assistance moving, we are the company to call.
Office/Commercial Movers in Tampa, Florida
There are two general types of moves, those that fall under the personal category of residential, and those that are done for businesses. The latter of these two is called an office or commercial move. When you are moving your workspace to a new place, you might need to move sensitive equipment or storage containers with important documents. As such, you need a company that is familiar with these processes and that will assure you absolute confidentiality. Three Men And A Truck offers you exactly that, and our track record speaks for ourselves.
Military Movers in Tampa, Florida
Members of the military move all the time. Sometimes only for a couple of months, but other times permanently as part of a PCS. In both cases, these moves can be handled directly through the government, or on your own. The latter of these two is called a personally procured move. These moves give you the option of handling everything alone, renting a truck, or hiring a moving company.
You’ll need to provide certain documents to your military office to ensure you receive your reimbursements, such as certified weight tickets. To make that process smoother, work with a moving company that is familiar with the PPM process, like Three Men And A Truck.
International Movers in Tampa, Florida
International moves are probably the most complex type of moving project that one can work on. The reason for this is the amount of paperwork and laws involved. Not only the laws of your country but those of the country you are shipping your items to. You must also consider whether some of the items you are considering to ship are restricted or forbidden, as this could end up delaying your move unexpectedly. A simple way to avoid this issue is by preparing beforehand and researching the customs laws of the country you are shipping to. Alternatively, you can work with a company like Three Men And A Truck that already has performed hundreds of successful international moves.
Flat-Rate and Hourly Movers
The best option between a flat-rate move and an hourly move will mostly come down to factors such as the distance and previous preparation for the move. If your move is a short distance, and you have time to set up everything before the moving crew arrives, choose an hourly rate to keep the expenses low.
If you are moving far away, or the moving crew will have to take care of a lot more than loading, consider the flat-rate option instead.
Additional Moving/Shipping Services in Tampa, Florida
Packing and Crating
Packing is almost a synonym for moving. If you are moving to a new place, you need to make sure everything is properly packed before you the movers arrive at your place. But this is not something that can be rushed, as improper packaging can lead to damages and end up costing you a lot.
If you don’t have the time to handle the packaging with the care and attention required, you just have to ask your moving company to do it for you. Three Men And A Truck has packing services as an option. We will even bring all the supplies needed.
Insurance
Moving projects are complicated. There are a lot of moving pieces, literally. If the packaging of your belongings doesn’t hold up, or they get damaged from moving around too much, you’ll want to have a fallback plan. Moving companies offer basic insurance coverage that pays about 60 cents per pound for items, with some exceptions. This is mandated at the federal level.
However, if you have items that are much pricier, it might not do the trick for what you need. For those cases, it would be best to make use of full insurance coverage services. Three Men And A Truck offers full coverage for your items. Ask your moving manager about our insurance coverage options.
Full-Service Moves
A full-service move is one where the moving company handles the entire moving process for the customer. All the customer has to do is call and book the move, and a crew will be sent to their home to package everything and take it to the new home. Once at the new place, they will also unpack the items and dispose of the garbage that remains from the move process.
There’s a reason why we call it a full-service move. If this type of move sounds like your deal, then know Three Men And A Truck can do it for you.
Storage
Getting storage service through the same company handling your move is a smart idea. The reason for this is simple, they can take care of the transportation of your items to the storage facility as part of the move process, making the entire thing much simpler.
There are many reasons why a person could need storage during a move, from not having enough space to accommodate everything they have yet, to realizing that they will arrive after their items at their new home.
No matter what is the case, Three Men And A Truck has a short-term storage service you can make use of. If you need to store your items for longer than we do, we’ll find someone that can do it for you.
Same-Day moves
Completing a moving project, the same day that the booking is made is possible, if tricky. Luckily for you. Three Men And A Truck has successfully plenty of same-day moves before. Whether you had an emergency, or just suddenly decided to move, we can take care of that for you.
The only caveat is that same-day moves might be limited in terms of service options, or even move availability if we are already fully booked for the day. Call us and we’ll find a way to get your move started as soon as possible.
Auto Transport
Transporting your car across the country requires a lot of care and patience. If you are moving to a new state that is very far from your current one, that will require a lot of driving. You could end up spending more in gas money than you would save by just shipping it.
So why not ship it instead? Shipping your car has the added benefit of letting professionals take care of the process, ensuring your car is safe throughout the entire ride. This way all you have to do is jump on a plane and enjoy the flight to your new home safe in the knowledge that your car will be there for you when you arrive.
