Hello!  

Well...I can't believe it...but we finally came to an agreement on that house we've been negotiating for over a month!  We're moving to Waterford!  

I'm not familiar with the area at all so welcome any tips and recommendations for favorite stores/restaurants/vet/groomer/etc.

But most urgently, do you have a mover or painter who has served you well?  Our last mover wasn't that great so I don't think we'll rehire them.  And we've never used a painter. Recommendations would we be great!

Thank you!

  • Thanks Jess!  We're moving to Watkins Lake. I'm excited for lake living.  I've never done it - hopefully we like it as much as we think we're going to!!
  • Congratulations on your new house! No recs for movers (family=cheap labor!). As far as painting, we've been very satisfied with JR Griffin Painting. We've used Jim for two jobs, once when we first moved and then our front room about 1 year ago.

  • We used AAA Heritage movers -they are in Warren, Mi.  They were great.  I once used 2 men and a truck-not impressed with 2 men. 

     

  • Congrats!!

    When we bought our house last summer, we rented a U-Haul truck for 6 hours, but hired movers for 2 hours to do all the big stuff for us.  The truck rental was cheap (I don't remember exactly how much) and the movers were $200 since we had a piano to move.  It would have been a lot less had we not had the piano.  It worked out so well.  They were able to load and unload all of our big stuff in under two hours....that was a move from Novi to Plymouth.  We had the U-Haul the rest of the day to move the small stuff on our own.  If I had been more organized at the time I would have had a lot more boxes ready to go with the big stuff and they could have moved that as well.  

    I would not recommend two men and a truck.  When we moved from one apartment to another several years ago we hired them to just move the piano.  They showed up and forgot the equipment needed to move a piano plus we had to wait several hours while a third person (manager) showed up to get the job done.
