Moving in the winter can be an arduous affair, especially with some of the crazy weather we Michiganders have been experiencing. Like many of us, you may have postponed your move to avoid cold temperatures, unpredictable snowstorms, and black ice. Making a move to a new house may seem impossible while there is still snow on the ground and a chill in the air. Luckily, spring is almost here! Moving in the spring comes with many benefits from better weather to moving company availability. Schedule your move with Men On The Move before the busy season!

Spring is the best time to move! There are several benefits when it comes to moving in the spring. Firstly, the weather is much better. Compared to the Michigan winters, spring can seem like summer. Gone are the harsh chills and sliding on slippery ice! Instead of the cold, the weather starts to warm up which makes moving so much easier on the moving company and clients alike. You may have to deal with some rain showers but even those are better than moving through a snowstorm.
Do you have children at home? While many parents believe that moving in the summer is the best time to move with kids, that’s not the case. Moving during the school year may be stressful but it also ensures that your children can go to their new school and make some friends before summer vacation. By moving in the spring, you can give your kids some time to adjust to their new environment and provide them with socialization with other kids their age to get some support during stressful times.
Spring and summer tend to be good selling times in the housing market. In the fall, people don’t like to buy homes because they are preparing for the holidays, and in the winter, people don’t want the hassle of moving in the cold. Instead, lots of people decide to buy and sell homes in the spring so they can settle somewhere before the summer! If you’re interested in selling your home and moving elsewhere, the spring is the time to do so. Plus, you may have tax return money to put towards a new home!
Moving companies tend to fill their schedules through the spring and summer which can make finding a reputable company to hire very difficult. Instead of scrambling to find a local moving company in the busy season, you should book your spring move early and be prepared for the future. What are you waiting for?

There is a multitude of benefits when it comes to living in downtown Detroit. You can be closer to restaurants, shops, and your favorite things to do. In addition to the shorter commutes to the things you love, you can save money on transport by using public transportation or walking where everything is close together. Furthermore, the new downtown areas are presenting more work opportunities and available jobs which makes it desirable for those in the workforce. As such, many people are interested in living in downtown areas and not just urban areas. Moving to downtown Northville, Plymouth, or Ann Arbor have its own special appeal, but it is not the same as moving to Detroit. Unfortunately, moving to any downtown can present its own unique problems.
Detroit is a city with a little bit of everything which makes it the perfect place to move. However, moving to Downtown Detroit can be difficult for first-time movers or people with little experience. Unlike suburban areas, downtown Detroit is extremely crowded. This leads to lots of pedestrian foot traffic and motor vehicle traffic which can affect the efficiency of your move. Additionally, driving downtown can be confusing due to the confusing layouts and one-way streets. Moving into multi-floor complexes can also be a big hassle for the less experienced. Hiring a local moving company with experience in the area you’re moving to can relieve a lot of stress in your move to downtown Detroit.
There’s a lot to do in the downtown areas of smaller cities. In areas such as Plymouth and Northville, local store owners own cute shops and the city comes together every season to celebrate holidays, local artists, and the community. While moving to a downtown area in smaller cities or townships may be easier than moving to downtown Detroit, it can still be a difficult process. Often, these smaller downtown areas have limited parking time and a lot of foot traffic. This foot traffic can make a move more strenuous and untimely. Also, multi-floor buildings in these areas may not have elevators which results in repeated trips up and down the stairs. By hiring a trusted mover near you, you’ll solve these issues!
Chances are you would be moving downtown for convenience and atmosphere so why not make your move more convenient? Men On The Move will help move you downtown whether it’s Detroit or to one of its many wonderful suburbs! We have decades of experience moving in and around Metro Detroit.

It’s important to know what to expect from professional movers. Moving is one of the biggest stressors a person can experience. As a result, many people hire professional movers to make the process easier. However, understanding the expectation of the movers and yourself can make moving a cakewalk. So, what should expect from your professional movers?
Depending on the moving company, some of the expectations may vary. However, there are a few general expectations that all moving companies should meet. First of all, the movers should arrive on time for the job. Nobody likes to be kept waiting, especially when it comes to moving. While being a few minutes late can be forgiven, if it’s going to be longer than ten minutes then the movers should call you. Once the movers arrive, they should have a truck that can fit all of your items in (unless specified otherwise). You should also have at least 2-3 movers from the company.
Now, what they move can vary. While all moving companies will move boxes and furniture, there are a few things that moving companies will not move. For Men on the Move, those items are listed on our non-moveable items. In addition, moving companies can refrain from moving dangerous items Most importantly, they are responsible for moving your items in and out of the moving truck! While there are expectations for the movers, the client also has some responsibilities.
To make this easy, we are going to use Men on the Move’s expectations for clients. First of all, clients are responsible for packing. Pack everything in boxes instead of using plastic or paper bags. For all boxes, they should be:
After packing, clients are expected to prepare parking for the moving time. You need to reserve an ample amount of space for the moving truck. If the truck needs to use street parking, you need to inform the moving company about any meters so they can be capped by the city. During the winter, you need to clear the parking area and walkway from snow and ice. Contents of desk drawers should be emptied, however, file cabinets and dresser drawers’ content can remain (as long as you remove breakable items). If you need the movers to move appliances, it is the responsibility of the client to disconnect them before the movers arrive.
