Residential and Commercial Moving & Storage update — 2026-06-01

In the two decades since Around Town Movers opened its doors, we've learned a thing or two about moving people. And businesses. And pianos. We're not going to pretend that it's all been smooth sailing, but we have developed a few strategies for success in the wild world of moving and storage.

First off, there's no such thing as too much organization. You can never be too prepared for a move. And when you're talking about commercial moves, well, that preparation has to be on steroids. Office relocations are notoriously complicated, with all the logistical nightmares of rescheduling meetings and reconfiguring workspaces. But they don't have to be. With a solid plan in place, you can minimize downtime and keep your business running smoothly during the move.

Secondly, packing is an art form. We've seen it all, from the meticulously organized to the disastrously unorganized. And believe us, there's a world of difference between the two. Packing is about more than just shoving stuff into boxes. It's about strategy, organization, and a bit of Tetris-like skill. Good packing can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

Thirdly, storage is not one-size-fits-all. We offer warehouse storage, sure, but we also offer PODS loading and specialty services like piano moving. Because we know that not everyone needs the same thing. Some people need a little extra space for their stuff, others need help moving that grand piano they've always wanted. And still, others need a combination of both. So we offer a combination of both.

Finally, experience matters. Our team has over 100 years of combined experience. That's not just a lot of time spent moving stuff around, it's a lot of time spent learning how to move stuff around well. We've seen it all, we've done it all, and we know what works and what doesn't. And that's why we're still here, two decades later, helping people move their lives from one place to another.

So there you have it, our strategies for success in the world of moving and storage. Organization, good packing, flexible storage solutions, and experience. It might not be rocket science, but it works. And that's all we can ask for in this wild world of ours.
