Pricing, protection, packing, long-distance and more. 41 plain-English answers from a Houston moving company that puts everything in writing.
For local moves, one to two weeks ahead is ideal. For long-distance moves, plan on four to six weeks. Weekends, month-end dates and May through August fill up first, so book earlier if your date falls in peak season.
Copy linkOften, yes, depending on crew availability. Call or text us for the fastest answer on a short-notice move.
Copy linkYes. We move seven days a week, and after-hours and overnight office moves are available by appointment so your business doesn't lose a working day.
Copy linkYou can reschedule for free up to 48 hours before your move. Just call or text your move coordinator.
Copy linkLet us know as early as possible so we can release your crew. There's no deposit to book, so there's nothing to refund. Any late-cancellation terms are spelled out in your written estimate before you book.
Copy linkYou get an arrival window ahead of time, and your crew lead calls if traffic or an earlier job changes it. No vague "sometime in the morning."
Copy linkIt's best if you are, but it isn't required. Someone you trust can be there instead. They'll walk through with the crew lead before loading and sign off on the final walkthrough.
Copy linkEvery move is different, so we don't quote a one-size-fits-all number. Your price depends on how much you're moving, distance, crew size, access at both homes and any extra services. After a quick walk-through we send a written estimate with every cost listed.
Copy linkWe look at your inventory, the distance, crew size and time needed, access at both ends (stairs, elevators, long walks to the truck), and any packing, storage or specialty items like pianos and safes.
Copy linkNo, not unless something changes. The price in your written estimate is what you pay. If you add items or services, we agree on the change with you in writing before any work is done.
Copy linkNo. There's no deposit to book or hold your date.
Copy linkAfter your move is complete and you've signed the final walkthrough. Never before the work is done.
Copy linkWe accept major credit and debit cards and other common payment methods. The options available for your move are confirmed in your written estimate.
Copy linkNo. If something like stairs or a long carry applies to your move, it's listed in your estimate up front. Nothing gets added at the door.
Copy linkIf you book our packing service, materials are listed in your estimate. Packing yourself? We can supply boxes, tape and wrap at the prices shown in your quote.
Copy linkTipping is never required or expected. If your crew did a great job, a tip or an honest review is always appreciated.
Copy linkYes. We're licensed and insured for local, in-state and interstate moves. Our USDOT number is , which you can verify on the FMCSA website. Our Texas DMV number is .
Copy linkEvery move includes basic released-value protection at no cost. It pays 60¢ per pound, per item. For example, a 50 lb TV would be covered for about $30. We explain this before you book so there are no surprises.
Copy linkFull-value protection means damaged items are repaired, replaced or paid out at their current value, up to the amount you declare. It costs more than basic coverage and is strongly recommended for antiques, electronics and art. Ask for it when you request your quote.
Copy linkPoint it out during the final walkthrough. We fix it before we leave or come back within 48 hours at no charge. For anything that needs a formal claim, we walk you through the process, and interstate moves have a federal claims window of nine months from delivery.
Copy linkEvery item is padded or shrink-wrapped before it's loaded. Furniture is disassembled when needed, and we use floor and door protection where the route through your home calls for it.
Copy linkYes. Our crews are our own trained employees, not day labor or subcontractors, and they're background-checked before they work in anyone's home.
Copy linkYes. Choose full packing, partial packing (just the kitchen or a few rooms), or fragile-only packing. We can also unpack and set up at your new home.
Copy linkPack anything you're doing yourself and label boxes by room on two sides. Empty, defrost and dry the fridge. Keep valuables, medications and important papers with you. Reserve elevators or loading docks, and make sure there's parking close to your door for the truck.
Copy linkWe can't transport hazardous materials (propane, gasoline, paint, ammunition, cleaning chemicals), perishable food or, on interstate moves, live plants. Please keep cash, jewelry and irreplaceable documents with you. You'll get a full list with your estimate.
Copy linkYes. Beds, tables, desks and most flat-pack furniture are disassembled, padded, moved and put back together where you want them.
Copy linkYes. Heavy and specialty items need extra crew and equipment, so they're quoted separately. Mention them when you request your quote so we send the right team.
