How a move with us goes

Five steps. The price is fixed in writing at step four.

  1. Tell us about the move

    Start with your phone number, then the date, both ZIP codes, home size and stairs. Takes about a minute.

  2. See an estimate right away

    The form shows an estimated range from our published rates as soon as you send it.

  3. John confirms the details

    A short call or video walk-through of your rooms, so the price is for your actual stuff.

  4. Get a written not-to-exceed quote

    Before anything is loaded you get the price in writing. That number is the ceiling.

  5. Move day

    Padding, wrap, careful loading, furniture placed where you want it. The final bill can only be lower than the quote.

How the written quote works

Check us before you hire us

We are a new company, and we say so. We do not have a wall of reviews yet, so here is what you can verify instead.

About John and the company

Texas DMV household goods registration
Registration pendingEvery Texas household goods mover must register with TxDMV and file cargo and liability coverage. We publish our number here the day it is issued, and we do not take paid moves before that.
Where we move
Within Texas onlyWe have no interstate authority, so we do not sell out-of-state moves. Some movers do; you can check any mover's authority on FMCSA SAFER.
Your price
Written ceiling before loadingTexas requires a written estimate before loading. Ours is not-to-exceed: the bill can come in lower, never higher, for the same inventory.

Common questions

How do you price a local move?

By the hour for the crew and truck, plus one flat travel charge. The rates and the minimum hours are on the pricing page. After the minimum, time is billed in 15-minute steps.

What is a written not-to-exceed quote?

Texas requires movers to give you a written estimate before loading. Ours is a ceiling: for the inventory and services in the quote, your final bill can be lower but never higher. If you add items or services on move day, we write the change down and you sign it before we do it.

Why do you ask for my phone number first?

So the request is not lost if the page closes halfway. We use it only to talk to you about your move. No sales lists, no spam.

Do you move out of Texas?

No. We move within Texas only. Interstate moves need separate federal authority, and we will not book a move we are not authorized to make.

Are you registered with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles?

Every household goods mover in Texas must register with TxDMV and file cargo and liability coverage. Our TxDMV number is printed at the bottom of every page. If it says pending, the registration is still being processed and we are not taking paid moves yet. You can look up any Texas mover on the TxDMV website.
