The Johnson Family: Ready for a New Adventure

After several years in Sacramento, the Johnson family decided it was time to return to their roots in Southern California. With a lifestyle centered around outdoor activities, their move was more than just a change of address—it was about embracing a way of life they cherished. Their belongings included specialized items like surfboards, bikes, and fishing equipment, alongside the usual household goods and a vast array of toys belonging to their young children. Ensuring these possessions were transported safely and securely was crucial.

Planning the Move

The first step in any successful move is careful planning. Colonial Van & Storage conducted an initial consultation to assess the Johnson family’s needs. Understanding the unique aspects of their belongings, the moving team developed a comprehensive moving plan tailored to their requirements.

• Special Handling Requirements: Surfboards, bikes, and fishing equipment require specific packing materials and techniques to prevent damage during transit.
