The Elements of The Cost-Efficient Formula;

How Long Would My Move Take? It depends on the following factors:

​

​

Factors That Influence The Time of The Moves:

  • Will this move be only loading-Driving-unloading? This is the fastest move

  • On how ready and organized for the move you are; either when loading the truck, and/ or unloading the truck at the final destination.

  • The number of items either packed or loose, and boxes to be moved

  • Will we Disassemble and reassemble, or packing and unpacking or wrapping and unwrapping with shrink plastic? all these actions make the move last longer. Complex furniture (big and / or unusual shape)

  • Wrapping & Unwrapping – protecting your items with shrink plastic & padding.

  • The biggest factors are: how far is the truck from loading and unloading, the traffic, using elevators, the stairs (too narrow stairs, number of floors in the home, storage or commercial place, the more floors the longer the move will take)

  • Do you need to protect walls and floors, you will need to request it in writing- again this action takes time, therefore it makes the move take longer

  • Building conditions – What we need to know about the conditions of the move: stairs, doorways, hallways, distance, and special requirements for the movers.

  • Distance – We’ll consider tolls, gas, driver’s time, and the distance from the origin to destination.

  • Special requirements – We account for items that require disassembly to enable their transport through doorways, hallways, and elevators. We also look at the special handling of items that are oddly shaped or fragile and require multiple layers of protection.

  • Packing – Are we doing it for you or are you doing it yourself. If we are doing it for you, the price increases by 20% on average.

Distance is very important!!

 

Building Conditions

Part of our moving residential process is to inquire about your current and/or future residence. This allows us to evaluate and plan for parking, doorways, stairwells, and any other situations that are specific to your move

Moving Insurance Keeps You Covered

Moving from a house often requires handling valuable assets, even the disassembling of some items to fit through tight building corridors and doorways. Our moving services come with Texas intrastate insurance coverage, 0.60 cents per pound. However, should you decide to opt for greater coverage, please contact contact your local insurance company.


Table with estimates of the time a move might take -based on the number of movers and the size of the move. Remember each move is different based on all the above-fore mentioned reasons.

Insurance –

We walk you through the options, however, due to the potential conflict of interest with our principle of cost-efficient moves, we only offer the free state-required level of insurance, which is .60 per pound per item damaged. This kind of coverage does not cover floors or walls. The coverage that covers walls and floors is considered commercial insurance, if you wish to increase your coverage please call your local insurance company.
