Jochas Moving and Delivery Offers New Furniture Delivery and Assembly for the Orlando, Broward, Tampa, and Miami Areas

The Benefits of Furniture Delivery  

Many manufacturers and stores offer their own delivery services, but they are seldom guaranteed. And nothing is more disappointing than brand new furniture arriving scratched, damaged, or unexpectedly unassembled. And if the furniture is coming in a box, often “delivery” means leaving it on the front porch to be moved in by the owner.

If a customer lives in an apartment building, he or she can be lucky to have it delivered at all, let alone carried up the stairs to their door.

When working with a professional furniture delivery service, expect:

  • Delivery completed by experienced, licensed, insured movers
  • Furniture unpacked/uncrated, inspected, and placed in home or office
  • Delivery arriving on time and damage-free
  • Furniture unpacked and assembled on-site

 

A good furniture delivery company will also offer pickup and delivery directly from the warehouse or showroom to save money!

Furniture is expensive. Protect investment by handling it with care. Jochas Moving and Delivery insures all furniture deliveries for 60 cents per pound–that’s double the industry standard! And if the furniture is damaged during moving or delivery, they will restore it to its original condition. Visit their Facebook and Instagram page to learn about their services.

If one chooses to use professional delivery services, there are a few things to do to ensure that furniture delivery goes as smoothly as possible.

Furniture Delivery Checklist  

Prepare Space Ahead of Time  

Before the day of the furniture delivery, clear out space where the new furniture will reside. Remember that, if necessary, the customer should clear a space big enough for easy assembly. Clear a path for easy maneuvering and carrying.

Make sure any stairs that movers will have to use are completely clear, remove dog and baby gates in their path, and remove any wall hangings that could be knocked off by large or unwieldy packaging.

Measure Twice, Unpack Once  

A customer may have measured space multiple times before ordering that sectional sofa or baby grand piano. But before the delivery, it is important to also measure the width of doors and hallways. This will help find the best possible route for the movers to deliver the new furniture.

Professional movers will always assess and measure the space for any tight squeezes before unloading, but it saves a lot of time to do it beforehand. If concerned about an especially delicate piece, the customer should talk to the movers about extra wrapping, padding, or protection prior to unloading.

Be On-Site and Available During the Furniture Delivery  

People are busy, but for furniture delivery to go as smoothly as possible, it is vital that the customer be available to advise and answer questions during the delivery and assembly process. There must be someone on-site to allow movers into the building and to receive the delivery.

The customer doesn’t have to be in the room every moment of the assembly, but try to stay nearby in case there are any issues or questions. Movers prefer that someone inspects and signs off on the assembled furniture before leaving the premises to ensure 100% service satisfaction!

Fall Protection Distributors has Released a Horizontal Lifelines Collection

All of the horizontal lifelines are made from high-quality materials and are backed by strong warranties. They are extensively tested and awarded industry-backed safety and weight ratings. In addition to being tough and reliable, the systems are also designed for ease of use. Most systems can be deployed in a matter of minutes, needing only an anchor and attached personal gear in order to function. Systems also include shock absorbers, automatic retractors, and additional safety features that make them easier and safer to use.

Even with the larger lifelines, assembly does not require specialized tools or know-how. The larger systems can simultaneously anchor up to eight workers at a time, and no specialized engineering is necessary for deployment. Any worker can safely operate these safety devices in order to protect themselves while they go about their business.

The collection can be categorized into two different applications. Roof trussing and upgrade kits make up the bulk of the listings and provide enough safety for the majority of roof-related work. Each item in the catalogue was carefully selected to do a common job in horizontal and fall safety.

Roof trussing systems provide sustained protection for workers in high places. The FallTech 2 person system provides 50 feet of security in a simple trussing system that provides shock absorption and self-retraction. It is perfect for work on smaller roofs and sections. With 50 feet of the safety line, two workers can get a lot done.

The four-person system takes the same principles and extends protection with variable length ropes ranging from 30 to 100 feet. As jobs get more complicated, the variable options in this kit allow for more flexibility without compromising the core premise of safety.

For temporary setups, the Malta 60’ Cable Assembly is perfect. It has adjustable cabling and shock absorbers, all designed for work from elevated concrete or I-beams. The two posts and fall protection cable assembly are incredibly easy to use and fast to deploy. The entire kit consists of three certified pieces, making it one of the simplest assemblies available.

Upgrade kits are also available for improving roof stability and the overall functionality of anchor systems. The SSRA 100’ kit provides 4 anchors with 2 anchor plates. It includes line tensioners, carabiners, o-rings, and cross arm straps, plus a storage bag to keep it organized and ready to move. It works in conjunction with existing SSRA1 anchors and SSRA3 anchor plates to expand the system and keep more people safe at variable distances.

The Ultimate Pro Pack pushes safety to a whole new level with 8 SSRA1 anchors and 4 roof jacks. It includes a torque wrench, a 100’ horizontal lifeline, 5,000-lbs. D-ring and everything needed for assembly and use. Designed specifically for roofing contractors and solar installers, it is an ideal system for a wide range of work. It is also supported by a lifetime warranty.

Horizontal lifelines are essential to an entire industry of work. People performing tasks on high surfaces need fall protection, and they can get it from the items in this catalogue. You can browse the entire collection at Fall Protection Distributors. Additional catalogues and safety tools are available for vertical protection, roof clamping and more. When you need lifelines or protection for work that takes place off of the ground, you can find it with Fall Protection Distributors.

You can also reach us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Follow us to stay up to date with the latest equipment and news regarding fall safety.

SnoBlox-Snojax Reminds Business Owners That Summertime Is Perfect for Scheduling Installation of Snow Retention Bars to Protect Metal Roofs Before Winter Arrives

SnoBlox-Snojax urges building owners and facility managers to prepare for the coming icy blasts of winter by protecting their metal-roofed structures with snow retention bars now, rather than putting off this task until winter arrives and contractor appointments are booked up.

By arranging to install snow retention bars well before icy and snow conditions begin, building owners will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are doing what’s needed to protect their investment. And if the building may require a customized system, ordering a snow retention bar system sooner rather than later will help to keep installation on schedule.

Ideally, a company that has determined it needs to upgrade the roof of its metal building will take steps to improve it with a customized setup developed with industry professionals, such as the professionals at SnoBlox-Snojax.

The team at SnoBlox-Snojax, a family-run business, is proud to have been serving the industry since 1976. To meet growing demand, its mill finish snow retention systems are always in stock and available to order as they are off the shelf, or with custom powder coating to precisely match colors to existing building panels.

Snow retention bars are engineered to span across multiple roof panels. The SnoBlox-Snojax SnoBar is a metal roof snow retention bar system that employs a top-loading stainless steel clamp for attachment to standing seam roofs, a patented, industry-exclusive.

SnoBlox-Snojax has built an excellent reputation for the company’s mounting systems, which not only allow for fast, safe installation, but also make it possible without any worry over causing leaks or damage or voiding the roof manufacturer’s warranty.

Building owners choose SnoBlox-Snojax because the RCT RoofClamp, made of aluminum, universally fits with most standing seam panels. The aluminum swivel brackets allow installers to angle the bar in converging valleys and hips, a versatile feature.

SnoBlox-Snojax manufactures snow retention bars from galvanized steel coated with Gatorshield, or from stainless steel in customized orders. The two options provide outstanding resistance to corrosion, helping to prolong the useful lifespan of metal roof buildings, which in turn lowers the total cost of ownership.

As a pioneer in the industry, SnoBlox-Snojax uses stainless steel clamps to enable bars to be top-loaded. Professionals appreciate this aspect of the system because it’s faster to install and uses the fewest parts. Because SnoBar systems usually necessitate fewer rows than older, traditional pad-type snow guard systems, they are viewed as more efficient and more cost-effective.

Of course, no two metal roofs are alike. In situations where a building owner has a unique shaped roof requiring protection from the snow, SnoBlox-Snojax engineers are standing by to consult with customers to design a customized system for their project.

All customized systems are produced to the company’s exceedingly high specifications. They include the hardware, bars, clamps, and instructions needed to get the job done right, on time, the first time, with SnoBlox-Snojax customer service available throughout the process.

For 6-foot SnoBar kits, the company delivers by ground shipping. Larger orders and custom systems typically are packed in 12-foot wood pallets or crates and are delivered by LTL freight.

SnoBlox-Snojax stands behind all the work it does, following industry best practices with experienced designers and engineers who are devoted to the highest standards.

Accordingly, the company includes a lifetime warranty against failure on all snow retention bar systems at no additional cost, which is another way it sets itself apart from the competition.

About SnoBlox-SnoJax:

The late Jack McMullen invented the first polycarbonate snow guard and founded SnoBlox-Snojax in 1976. He developed the product to address the problem of rust in his own metal building business. It’s a solution that protects the roof and keeps it from being stained and damaged by rust. A multi-generation family business, SnoBlox-Snojax is proud that all of our products are made right here in the U.S.A., with nothing being sourced from overseas. The mission of SnoBlox-Snojax is to meet the ever-changing needs of the metal roofing industry with ongoing research and development of our professionally tested metal roof snow guard systems.
