FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do movers cost in Dallas Fort Worth?
Local moves are hourly. A two bedroom home runs $165 per hour over 6 to 8 hours, a three bedroom $185 per hour over 8 to 10 hours, and four bedroom homes and larger $225 per hour over 10 to 14 hours. Those rates include the crew, the truck, blankets, floor protection and basic equipment. Long distance moves are priced by weight and distance instead.
Are you a broker or a real moving company?
We are a direct carrier. Our own crew, our own trucks, our own equipment on every move. We never sell your job to another company. TXDMV 009845438C, USDOT 7722094, MC 65431228.
Which cities do you serve?
We cover the entire Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex including Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, McKinney, Garland, Denton, Richardson, Carrollton, Lewisville and Grapevine. For long distance moves we are licensed for all 50 states.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks out for a local move and four to six weeks for a long distance move. Peak season runs May through September and those dates go first.
Do you offer packing and storage?
Yes. We offer full service packing where we bring all the materials and pack your home room by room, partial packing if you only want help with the kitchen and fragile items, and short or long term storage when your dates do not line up.
Do you move pianos, safes and antiques?
Yes. Specialty moving is a core part of what we do. Grand and upright pianos, gun safes, pool tables, antiques, fine art and anything that needs a custom built wood crate.
What is included in the hourly rate?
The crew, the truck, moving blankets, shrink wrap, floor and stair protection, dollies and basic equipment, plus disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture. The clock starts when we arrive and stops when the last item is placed.
Do I need to be there on moving day?
Someone should be present at both ends to direct placement and do a final walkthrough. If that is not possible, we can work with an authorized person you designate, just arrange it with us in advance.
What will you not move?
We cannot transport hazardous materials, and that includes propane tanks, gasoline, paint, aerosols, ammunition and anything flammable, corrosive or explosive. Perishable food and plants are also a problem on longer moves. We will flag anything on your inventory that needs to travel in your own vehicle.
Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Bed frames, table legs, sectional couches and similar standard furniture are taken apart and put back together as part of the move. Complex items like large gym equipment or specialty built ins should be mentioned upfront so we bring the right tools.
What if my closing date moves?
It happens constantly. Tell us as soon as you know. We will reschedule where we have capacity, and if you end up with a gap between moving out and moving in, we can store your belongings and deliver when your new place is ready.
Are my belongings insured?
We are fully licensed and insured. Basic valuation coverage is included on every move, and additional coverage options are available. We will walk you through exactly what applies to your move before you book.
Do you move on weekends?
Yes. Weekends book up first, especially at the end of the month and through the summer, so reserve early if you need a Saturday.
How do I get an accurate quote?
Let us see your home. A walkthrough in person or over video takes a few minutes and lets us build a real inventory. Quotes given sight unseen are guesses, and guesses are what turn into a bigger bill on moving day.
