Cinco de Mayo - Celebrate Diversity!

While it is a Mexican holiday celebrating the defeat of the French army in the Battle of Puebla, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated throughout the US with food, music and lively gatherings.

Cinco de Mayo is a great example of our country’s respect for other cultures. The staff and movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage carry on that tradition by creating a richly diverse, harmonious workplace. In addition to making All My Sons a great place to work, the appeal reaches our equally diverse customer base. We make it a point to make diversity a priority while adhering to our strike hiring rules to ensure our Dallas movers are the best of the best.

Embracing our individuality is our common goal…well, that and providing the best moving services in the DFW area!

Swine Flu Can't Stop These Movers!

I wanted to let our customers know that the staff and movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage are prepared to take extra precautions in light of the rising swine flu scare. Already, our Dallas movers are utilizing hand sanitizer and gloves at all times to protect themselves and their customers from the spread of germs during a move. Additionally, we do not send movers into the field if they are feeling ill.

Should the threat of swine flu rise significantly in the coming weeks, All My Sons is prepared to protect our customers and their belongings at all costs. While we do not anticipate a problem, we are prepared to deal with whatever comes our way. Rest assured your moving plans will not be disrupted. For questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to us!

Get Your Kids Involved in Your Move!

Many parents meet a brick wall when it comes to getting children involved in a move to Dallas. While moving is a stressful event, especially for children, there are many things you can do to get them more involved and more comfortable with your moving plans.

All My Sons Moving & Storage recommends creating a simple color-coding system to help identify box contents and made unloading a snap for your family and your local movers. Invite your kids to help create a fun, easy-to-follow coding system. And remember, you’re not limited to colors! Take a trip to your local craft store and stock up on colorful stickers with a common theme. For example, you can purchase a variety of stickers featuring animals, flowers or whatever you prefer. Let each child choose an animal, flower etc to represent their room and belongings. Add a sticker to each box in a visible location. Try to place stickers in the same corner or area of each box so the movers and your family can locate your belongings easily during the move.

If you have the time, encourage the kids to make their own box labels using colored paper or markers, scissors and tape. Cut paper into shapes or letters and tape them to moving boxes to indicate which boxes go to which rooms in your new home.

With a little creativity, you can give your children peace of mind about your move to Dallas.

Yelping in Dallas

Do you Yelp? If your response is along the lines of “What?!” then you need to take a look at Yelp. This fun, community-oriented site is part sounding board, part forum and all DFW fun. DFW is a community of real people from the area that share reviews of restaurants, shops, and local service providers like Dallas moving companies. Community members work as moderators and are given the power to “flag” questionable reviews and petition the Yelp authority to remove any false reviews. Therefore, you can rest assured you’re getting an honest opinion!

Websites like Yelp help businesses like All My Sons Moving & Storage serve their customers better by pointing out what they do write and commenting on what areas need improvements. Additionally, your Dallas movers will likely hand you a survey form where you can comment on your opinions of your service after your local and long distance move. This way, your opinions land directly in the hands of my coworkers and me. While we actively like to search the web to see how well we are servicing our moving customers, sending your comments to All My Sons is a great way to help us better serve you.

If you like to frequent new places in the DFW area and tell others about your favorite locations, Yelp is a great community for you. Check it out!

Moving is Tough, so take a break!

If you are completing a move this weekend, chances are you’re going to be a bit worn out! Even if you hire professional movers in Dallas to lend a hand or two, you’ll still be a little drained from all of the hustle and bustle of the day. Here are a few tips to get you from zero to relaxed during your breaks, however short they may seem!

You have probably heard moving companies like All My Sons Moving & Storage suggest packing a bag filled with your essentials during a local or long distance move. Don’t forget to toss in a few things that will make you nice and comfy. For a quick pick me up, freeze a bottle of water or your favorite non-carbonated beverage. After a few hours of moving, that cold drink will taste like a little bit of heaven! For a little escape, pack a good book or your favorite music on a portable music device. If the weather is chilly, add a cozy sweater or a small blanket to curl up in for a quick cat nap.

Try to unload and set up beds and chairs first so you’ll have somewhere to sit and rest during the move. Bring a favorite snack to give yourself an energy boost when the going gets tough.

Moving isn’t easy, but paying attention to the little details can make all the difference. Here’s wishing you a safe, happy move!

Kick off Your Summer Moving Plans with All My Sons

With school ending for many in a mere two months, the summer moving season will soon be upon us! All My Sons Moving & Storage offers free tools and tips to get you ready for a fast, hassle-free move to Dallas. Whether you plan on using our professional Dallas movers or not, there are a few things you can do right now that will make your summer moving plans go smoothly.

First, designate a “moving folder” that will hold your moving checklist, Dallas moving company documents and receipts for moving-related expenses. Depending on the reasons for your move to Dallas, some or all of your expenses may be tax deductible. A quick query on the internet will help you identify tax deductible moving expenses.


Make a list of people and companies you need to notify about your move to Dallas. You can separate the list by priority or category, including space for family, friends, healthcare professionals, employers, creditors, subscription services and more. Put this list into your summer moving folder.

Begin to sort items you will be moving, donating or storing. Making a list of these items will help you determine the size of your move and the amount of storage space you may need. Plus, you can make your storage reservations now and even get those items out of your way so you can focus your attention on your move to Dallas.

Balancing your summer moving duties will help prevent a real headache during the last few days leading up to your move. Feel free to contact All My Sons for more tips and tricks about local or long distance moving.

Is Your Moving Day Weather-Proof?

You’ve done everything right in planning a successful moving day: gathering packing supplies and moving boxes, organizing your family’s belongings and settling on a convenient moving date. But what happens if moving day brings something unexpected? Rain, wind, ice and other weather can really put a damper on your moving day plans, but not to worry! All My Sons Moving & Storage is prepared for DFW’s unpredictable weather.

Our Dallas movers are always ready and willing to act fast to protect your belongings from the elements. Whether it’s making sure your belongings are covered in waterproof materials or taking extra care while moving during a windy day, All My Sons will take care of your move no matter what the weatherman says.
If a stormy forecast has you down, here are some things you can do to protect your belongings before moving day:

1) Avoid stacking your moving boxes near the front or back door on a humid or rainy day. Cracks around the door frame, especially at the bottom, can leak humidity into your home and dampen cardboard boxes.
2) Make sure your moving boxes and packing supplies are new. Used boxes are weaker and may not hold up during a downpour. Consider asking your Dallas movers for reusable, plastic bins to protect your belongings from the elements during a move.
3) Cover hardwood or tile entryways with a non-bunching covering if rain is in the forecast. Wet, hard floors and Dallas movers carrying heavy loads of your belongings are a bad combination!

With these tips and some help from your Dallas movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage, your moving day plans will be a success!

Our Customers Call us the Best Dallas Movers

Like many Dallas moving companies, All My Sons Moving & Storage strives to offer the best Dallas movers in the country. However, unlike many Dallas moving companies, we’ve been in business for over four generations. We are decades ahead of the competition, and our drive to be the best Dallas movers around hasn’t let up since the very beginning.

My fellow coworkers and I know that our efforts are in vain without the presence of our wonderful customers. These days, it often takes a lot of faith on the part of a customer to let a local moving company handle their move to Dallas. And with all of the horror stories you hear about rogue movers, it’s no surprise that some customers are a little wary.

But when they see our Dallas movers in action, providing quality moving services while handling each box and piece of furniture with the utmost care, they know that All My Sons truly earns the trust of each and every customer we serve. We can call ourselves the best Dallas movers until we’re blue in the face, but the words are meaningless without our thousands of satisfied customers to back them up!

A Fully-Customized Move to Dallas Saves You Money

Now that yet another stimulus package has passed, we are all crossing fingers in hopes that said package will bring some kind of relief. As a local moving company, All My Sons Moving & Storage has seen first-hand the effect the economy has on our neighbors, friends and customers. My coworkers and I want you to know that our Dallas movers are here to help in any way we can. We are all in this together, so please don’t hesitate to call me and ask for some great money-saving tips to make your move to Dallas easier on your family and your budget.

All My Sons is flexible when it comes to helping you plan your move to Dallas. Since each move is customized to fit your specific moving and storage needs, you can control the extent of services you need. All My Sons specializes in providing full-service local and long-distance moves, which means we plan and implement every step of your move, from packing and loading to unpacking and setting up your new home. Although our full range of services offers the best value for your money and the best protection for your belongings, I understand that my customers are fully capable of covering some steps of the move yourself.

To save money and still get a quality move to Dallas maintained by our high standards, decide what services you can’t live without, and what services you may be able to complete yourself. Maybe you’re a seasoned packer and can safely pack your belongings for the move. Perhaps you want the professional Dallas movers to pack your fragile belongings like dishes and framed art, but you can cover other items like clothing, books and other items. Many of our customers trust All My Sons to do the heavy lifting and unloading, but prefer to unpack themselves.

When your move is fully-customized for YOU, it’s easy to ensure that you get exactly what you want from your Dallas moving company. Why have it any other way?

Get a Professional, In-home Estimate for Your Move in Dallas

You already know that All My Sons Moving & Storage uses all sorts of tools and techniques to make sure our customers get more move for their money. Another way we ensure a quick, hassle-free move to Dallas is to prove an accurate, detailed estimate for the customers we serve.

Many moving companies in the DFW area use a hit-or-miss approach to providing an estimate that can be hundreds of dollars off of your actual cost. Think of the headaches of going through your move to Dallas, only to find out the cost is a lot more than you bargained for! All My Sons Moving & Storage utilizes a systematic approach to ensure your moving estimate is accurate.

When you first contact us in the office, we'll ask you a series of questions to make sure we fully understand your moving and storage needs. You may find this exhausting, but my coworkers and I want to be sure that you get exactly what you need for your move to Dallas. This includes equipment and the number of Dallas movers, trucks and storage units. We'll ask questions that vary from the size and number of rooms in your home to if you use your garage for storage or parking. We get the details to make sure we don't miss a beat.

Many of our customers choose to recieve an in-home estimate from a qualified All My Sons estimator. Often, my coworkers and I will recommend an in-home estimate if your move includes a large home or is complicated by multiple pickup and delivery locations. Your friendly estimator will arrive at your home at a time convenient for you. They will walk through your home, noting major contents like furniture, pianos or even pool tables. Having a look at your household will help the estimator figure the total weight of your belongings, the number of professional Dalls movers you will need and the length of time it will take to move your belongings safely and efficiently.

I know that to ensure my customers are happy, I have to get the details right the first time. At All My Sons, we go the extra mile to make sure your move is fully-planned and perfected, even before lifting the first box.

Trust is a Virtue, Especially for Moving Companies

By the time you reach the ripe old age of adulthood, you’ve probably had a broken heart or two. At the basis of many relationship slip-ups is the issue of trust. It’s common knowledge that trust is a foundation for almost any relationship, romantic or not. As an employee of a Dallas moving company and a small, family-owned business to boot, I know that trust plays a major role in establishing a healthy relationship with customers.

Think about it. Your moving company has your entire past, present and future in their hands! Your furniture, your family heirlooms, personal files, pictures and clothing…everything! All or at least most of your worldly possessions are involved in a move, and a move to Dallas is not the time to take chances or risk damaging your possessions. As nice as your neighbors are, or as reliable as your friends may be, recruiting inexperienced hands to move your pricey and priceless belongings could result in serious damage. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard customers tell me that “Last time, we ruined our plasma TV” or “We had to buy a new set of dishes.” Are you really saving that much money if your spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars replacing a TV or set of china?

All My Sons Moving & Storage has been operating in Dallas for over 10 years, and our family has been providing moving and storage services for over four generations. I invite you to call my coworkers at the office. You’ll see why we are easy to do business with. I focus on establishing trust on a sturdy foundation, not by simply telling you what you want to here. I tell each customer I speak to that All My Sons has the best movers in Dallas because I see the great work they do each day. All My Sons offers a solid, trustworthy business relationship. We want to be your Dallas movers today and for years to come.

Déjà vu in the Moving Business?

“Wait a minute, don’t I know you? Yes, you were that wonderful family with the twins that we moved a few years ago! Glad to have you back with All My Sons Moving & Storage!”

When you’ve been in the moving business for as long as my Dallas moving company has, you establish a reputation for being reliable, efficient and fair. All My Sons Moving & Storage has served the communities of Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas for over ten years now, so our reputation precedes us in many cases. If our name is familiar, perhaps you’ve seen our green and white moving trucks in your neighborhood or heard some compliments from neighbors and friends about our full-service moves to Dallas. Either way, our customers know that when All My Sons organizes your move, they can relax in the peace of mind that comes with knowing their move to Dallas is in expert hands.

And that’s exactly what keeps our great customers coming back to All My Sons again and again for their moving and storage needs. The average person moves multiple times in their life. I’ve moved nine times in my life, and I know there are a few more moves in my future! From a personal point of view, I can definitely tell you that moving with All My Sons is light years above moving yourself, using other, less-established moving companies or hiring laborers to help. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING matches the experience and care of an expert team of Dallas movers. Our professional movers are well-trained and prepared to handle anything that comes along when it comes to your move. That’s why we are so proud of our status as a full-service moving company in Dallas. From pianos and pool tables to navigating stairs and taking care to protect your walls and floors, All My Sons covers all of the details of your move to Dallas. The less you have to worry about as you plan your move, the better!

Does Your Moving Company Have Psychic Powers

Don’t look now, but the Dallas movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage might be reading your mind! Is it magic? Or maybe the full moon? Do our professional movers simply have special, super-human powers?

Not exactly, but it’s easy to compare our hardworking Dallas movers with the likes of super heroes. As a truly talented, fourth-generation moving and storage company, All My Sons provides expert services and quality customer care. We’ve been doing this so long, in fact, that we often can anticipate a customer’s needs before they even realize it.

That’s not to say we generalize our moving services. In fact, our Dallas movers are perfectly aware that each move to Dallas or Fort Worth is special and requires a different combination of quality moving and storage services. However, our job is to think outside of the moving box, so to speak! What sets this Dallas moving company apart from the others is our ability to anticipate your needs before you have to ask us, or even before you realize you need a specific service! This helps us (my coworkers and I) know that we have every detail of your move covered. Chances are, you’re stressed about the very thought of moving to begin with, and your mind is racing every which way to cover all of the details: officially changing your address, notifying friends and relatives, preparing your family, and several other steps you need to take to pull off a successful move (click here for our handy moving checklist to help organize your move). You need a Dallas moving company with the brains AND the brawn to take your moving needs and put a plan into action.

I know it is my job to see to it that your moving needs are met, and that means taking the initiative when I see there is missing information for your move. That’s why when you call All My Sons, we’ll ask you a series of questions to make sure we have every detail down. You may think we’re nosy, but that’s not it at all! We simply need to know all of the details up front, so when our green and white moving truck pulls up to your door, you’ll be amazed at our efficient methods and high quality moving and storage services. It’s what we do best at All My Sons!

All My Sons is a Serious Moving Business

I am a big fan of supporting local, independent and family-owned businesses. I understand the convenience of supercenters like Walmart, but small businesses add something more than the “supercenters” of the world could ever come up with. Whether it’s a unique item, more personal service, a better product or all of the above, supporting local businesses is the best thing you can do to ensure a healthy balance of competition in today’s sensitive economy.

As a family-owned Dallas moving company, All My Sons Moving & Storage understands that many of our customers choose our Dallas movers because they know they can trust us. We provide our contact information so you can always get a hold of us, but we also proactively contact our customers to make sure they get the best moving services at a great value.

But we also understand that some small moving companies leave a lot to be desired. Maybe their knowledge of the local moving industry is limited, or they don’t know how to support customers through the ebb and flow of the economy. Perhaps they don’t have a solid training program for their Dallas movers, or think that background checks on each employee hired are too time consuming and expensive.

It’s moving companies like these that lower expectations for family-owned Dallas moving companies. All My Sons Moving & Storage has worked hard to establish our reputation as a full-service local and long-distance mover, and we didn’t solidify that reputation by only offering a handful of moving services and a rag-tag team of inexperienced movers. We carefully screen each new employee that comes through our door, knowing that you trust our Dallas moving company to handle your household of belongings, so we must trust our Dallas movers to ensure your items are regarded with the utmost care.

To top it all off, we handle international moving as well as short-term and long-term storage services with convenient pick-up and delivery service. We make it easy while making you feel right at home with our professional movers and staff during your move to Dallas.

Make a Move on Valentine's Day

February 14th falls on a Saturday this year, making it the perfect day to move to Dallas! Although enjoying moving and storage services may not be your idea of a romantic date, at least you’ll know the Dallas movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage will be here for you all weekend!

Valentine’s Day is always an occasion for stress around here. Being a successful Dallas moving company requires some backbone in this rough business, and sometimes our professional Dallas movers need a nudge in the right direction when it comes to surprising that special someone. Here are a few ideas that can make this holiday memorable for anyone.

Many of our Dallas movers have children, and if you’ve ever had to find a baby-sitter on a holiday known to include a big date night, you know how hard it can be! A few of the moving staff at All My Sons have realized that spending Valentine’s Day with the entire family is a great way to celebrate. How about taking in a show, and maybe not just a movie? The DFW area is full of theater troupes and beautiful stages, like the Studio B Theater. Head over on Valentine’s Day to take in Willy Wonka, a live production featuring an all-kids cast.

If you still crave an evening with your special someone but don’t want to leave the kids out, how about a Friday night family outing on February 13th? Cheer for your Dallas Stars as they take on the Canucks at the American Airlines Center.
Then, take your special someone out for a romantic dinner at the Melting Pot. This fondue feast includes a four course dinner in honor of Valentine’s Day. Dip your way through luscious cheeses, take a break with a tasty salad, bite into succulent selections of meat, poultry and seafood cooked right at your table. And no one does dessert like the Melting Pot! You’ll get a variety of treats (brownies, cakes, marshmallows, cheesecake, fruit) to dip into a pot of warm chocolate. Now THAT is a celebration.

Whatever your plans are, the Dallas movers of All My Sons wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day!

Office Moving Blunders

Sure, you could experience an office move without All My Sons Moving & Storage’s expertise, but why would you want to? With all of the planning and interruption to your business, a mismanaged, disorganized move is a risky bet to take. Should you venture out on your own or with another moving company with less experience and a severe lack of certified moving consultants, here are a few things to avoid.

Try to avoid relying on cardboard moving boxes, used or new. Your office equipment will be much safer in the protection of professional-quality moving boxes made specifically for computers, printers, laptops and more. And throwing your paper files and documents into a pile in the bottom of a moving box is sure to have one frustrating result: wasted time spent reorganizing the files you already worked so hard to organize.

Have as many professional Dallas movers on site as possible. The only thing worse than having your employees deal with an interruption to their workspace is forcing them to help with the move over the weekend. You'll run the risk of incurring more damages, not to mention lowered morale!

I like saving money as much as the next person, and I'm sure you'll feel like the office hero if you rent a uhaul and offer to drive. But keep in mind that complex, costly equipment like fax machines, copiers, printers, mailing machines and computers can easily be damaged but common bumps and potholes in the road. Your best bet is to rely on an experienced driver in a truly professional moving truck to navigate the Dallas roads and highways.

I understand times are tough, but hiring a professional Dallas moving company like All My Sons Moving & Storage is a far better value than losing even one fax machine or personal computer. We are the best Dallas office movers around!

Moving Professionals that Care

I’ve been known to be a little stubborn at times. Back in the day, when I was young and naïve, I insisted on moving myself. And by moving myself, I mean I insisted on enlisting friends and family to help me move from home to home. I guess I didn’t realize the risk of having helping hands that weren’t trained at providing help. Over the years, I lost several dishes and found several scratches and scrapes on my furniture. No big deal, right?

When my wooden bed frame (complete with headboard and footboard), which had been moved at least 4 times, completely collapsed as my friends and I were trying to put it back together, I decided to casually look around for ways to hire a few professional movers for next time. But when I discovered that the screen of my television was ruined, I KNEW things had to change.

Moving with true, professional Dallas movers is not only more convenient and hassle-free. The value is priceless. All My Sons Moving & Storage has access to high-quality moving supplies like moving boxes, sturdy tape, cushioning packing materials and much more. If you add full-service packing to your move to Dallas, you’ll be sure your items are fully-protected as they are carefully packed by industry professionals. Our Dallas movers wrap all furniture in quilted padding before anything leaves the house, so your furniture is safe from even minor bumps and scratches.

No matter how often you’ve moved, All My Sons takes the cake when it comes to experience. We have four generations worth of moving and storage experience, and a professional training program that blends our traditional standards of service with new techniques and technology available today. We even have a simulated moving environment where our certified moving consultants teach each mover the secrets to providing a hassle-free move.

Working with professional Dallas movers makes everything easier. You’ll enjoy peace of mind and lots of extra time when All My Sons plans and delivers your move to Dallas.

Let our Dallas Movers Handle Your Life-Changing Move

Normally, you wouldn’t think of a Dallas moving company as a life-changing business. But all of the promises that a new year a new president bring have me thinking how different events truly change our lives. All My Sons Moving & Storage is in the business of changing lives, and for many reasons.

If you’ve moved even once before, you know that changing your home or office setting is a rather large life change. Our moving and storage services often help to usher in a new era for our customers, as many moves are accompanied by a new job, an addition to the family, a transition to young adulthood or various other major life events most of us have faced or will face in the future.

That’s why our Dallas movers understand how important it is to be more than just a team of talented movers when they arrive at your home to perform quality services. Whether the move is a positive or negative change, it usually comes with the same stress and burdens associated with the moving process. My team at All My Sons likes to take a very proactive approach to moving so you DON’T get that sense of panic when the movers arrive. We start planning a move from the first phone call.

When you call All My Sons, make sure you have a few extra moments to give us all of the details we need to plan your move to Dallas. We don’t want to miss anything, and careful planning will make your move go quickly and seamlessly. We will ask all sorts of questions ranging from the size of your home to what floor your apartment is on! The more we know, the more our movers can prepare before they ring your doorbell.

Once at your home, of course, our Dallas movers offer more than just a fast, safe move. They offer kind smiles, professional moving boxes and packing supplies, answers to your questions, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your belongings are in good hands. No matter what life brings you, your move to Dallas is one less thing to worry about with All My Sons.
