What Makes Our Glen Rose Crew Different

A Price On Paper

We settle the figure and put it in writing before the day arrives. No hourly meter, no fuel surcharge, no stair fee sprung on you at the tailgate.

Insured To $1M

Registered with the Texas TxDMV, carrying USDOT and MC authority for interstate work, with $1 million in cargo coverage on every load.

Our Trucks, Our People

That truck in the driveway belongs to us and the crew rides on our payroll: background-checked W-2 movers, not day labor and not a subcontractor.

We Know The Back Roads

Ranch gates, gravel county roads, and the guard gate at Pecan Plantation slow a stranger down. We have run these routes for years and plan the day around them.

On Time, Early Starts

You get a two-hour arrival window and a call when the truck leaves the yard. Come July and August we load at first light, ahead of the worst Texas heat.

A Name People Trust

Stacks of five-star Google reviews from families around the county, earned on careful handling, an honest price, and a move day with no drama.

Joe Powell House Movers Reviews

Families and businesses all over Somervell County and the Cross Timbers lean on us. Here is what they say about a move day with our crew.

★★★★

“Mostly great. The crew showed up on time for our 3-bed out by the lake in Granbury and worked hard in the heat. One nightstand got a gouge against the door frame, but Joe's office called me back the next morning, sent a guy to fix it, and knocked a little off the bill without me even pushing. That kind of follow-through is why I'd still use them.”

“Joe came out himself to look at our 2-bed in Cleburne before quoting, which I didn't expect. The number he wrote down was exactly what we paid at the end. No add-ons, no clock games. The two movers were polite and fast and had it all loaded before lunch. Couldn't ask for better.”

“We've got a 4-bed place on a gravel drive outside Tolar and a lot of movers won't even back a truck down it. Joe's crew didn't blink. They had it all loaded and over to the new place in a day. Honest pricing, good guys, did what they said.”

“After Mom passed we needed to downsize her house in Walnut Springs and these folks were so patient about it. They let us go room by room, helped sort what stayed and what got donated, never rushed a thing. The lead even carried boxes out to my truck for the donation run. Real decent people.”

“We were nervous about moving a manufactured home's worth of furniture out near Godley because the access road is rough and narrow. Joe's crew handled it fine, brought the right size truck instead of something that'd never make the turn. Everything came off clean and they set the big pieces exactly where my wife wanted them. Good people to deal with.”

“Four stars, would've been five. They moved our upright piano and a 3-bed out of Nemo and the piano went perfect, not a mark on it. The hiccup was they ran about two hours behind getting started because an earlier job went long. Dispatch called and warned me, which I appreciated, and they still finished the same day. Just plan for the schedule to slip a little.”

“Had a 1,200-pound gun safe in the Paluxy place that two other movers wouldn't touch. Joe's crew came with the right four-wheeler and straps and walked it down the steps slow and steady. The rest of the 2-bed was nothing for them after that. These are the guys you call for the heavy stuff.”

“Downsized from a big house in Burleson into Pecan Plantation and that guard gate slows everybody down, but the crew had the paperwork ready and got waved through fine. They were gentle with my late husband's antiques. Whole thing went smoother than I'd feared at my age.”

“Big 4-bed out of Meridian with a barn's worth of extras and they showed up with enough men and a big enough truck to do it in one trip. The lead walked the house first and planned it out instead of just grabbing stuff. Loaded tight, drove careful, unloaded where I pointed. Couldn't have gone better and the bill matched the quote to the dollar.”

“Four stars. Helped my mother downsize out of her place in Morgan and the crew was kind and patient with her, which means a lot. The one issue was a box marked fragile that had a couple cracked dishes when we unpacked. Joe's office handled the small claim without a fight and refunded it. Honest about the mistake, which I respect more than pretending it didn't happen.”

“Four stars. Downsized from my Glen Rose house into Pecan Plantation and the crew worked hard and the price was honest. Only ding is they were short a man that day so it took longer than the office first told me. They still finished and were upfront about it, just wish the timing estimate had been closer. Would use again.”

Before You Book

Glen Rose Moving Questions

How much does a local move around Glen Rose cost?
A two-mover crew with the truck, pads, and dollies starts at $110 an hour; three movers run $150 and four run $195. After Joe or one of the crew looks over your inventory on a video walk-through, we put a flat band in writing — about $560 to $950 for a one-bedroom or $950 to $1,650 for a two-bedroom — and that number does not move on the day.
Are you licensed and insured to move in Texas?
Yes. Texas registers household-goods movers through the TxDMV, and we hold that registration along with USDOT and MC authority for moves that cross state lines. Every job carries $1 million in cargo coverage, and we will send our credentials or a Certificate of Insurance to a lake community, an HOA, or anyone who needs one.
Do you handle gated communities and lake places?
All the time. The guard gate at Pecan Plantation, the weekend homes around Lake Granbury, and ranches down the gravel county roads are routine for us. We clear the gate ahead of time, send any Certificate of Insurance the community asks for, and time the truck so nobody is left waiting at the entrance.
How far ahead should I book?
Weekends and the end of the month go first, so two or three weeks of lead time is wise for those. A midweek or mid-month date often holds on just a few days’ notice, and when a truck is free we are glad to take same-day or short-notice work. Call (888) 711-4778 and we will tell you straight what is open.
Do you take a deposit?
Most local jobs around Somervell County need nothing down — we just confirm by phone the day before. Bigger homes and out-of-state hauls hold the date with a small refundable deposit, and that amount comes right off your final balance.
What towns do you cover?
Glen Rose and all of Somervell County, plus Granbury and Lake Granbury, Tolar, Stephenville, Cresson, Walnut Springs, Rainbow, and Nemo. We run up US-67 and US-377 toward Cleburne, Burleson, and the Fort Worth side of the metroplex, and TX-144 over to Granbury and Meridian, week in and week out.
Will the crew pack for me?
They will. Hand us the whole house and we box, wrap, and label every room, or point us at just the kitchen and the fragile pieces and we take care of those. Either way the crew brings the cartons, paper, and tape, so you are not running to the store the week of your move.
Can I pack my own boxes to save money?
Sure can. Plenty of folks fill their own cartons and leave the furniture, wrapping, and heavy lifting to the crew. If you would rather we just box the kitchen and the breakables, that works too. Your written quote lays out plainly what falls to us and what falls to you.
Do you sell boxes and supplies?
Yes. We stock cartons in every size, plus tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and the special boxes built for dishes, hanging clothes, and flat-screens. Let us know when you book and we will drop them by ahead of time so you can pack at your own pace.
How do you handle a move in the summer heat?
North-Central Texas summers push past 100 degrees, so from June into September the crew starts at first light before the pavement turns to an oven, and we build water and shade breaks into the day. Electronics, candles, records, and artwork stage in the shade and load last, and we pack the truck tight to keep your things out of the sun as much as we can.
What about spring storms and hail?
Spring brings thunderstorms, hail, and the odd tornado watch out here on the edge of Tornado Alley, so we floor-protect, shrink-wrap everything, and keep an eye on the radar. Ordinary weather does not slow us down; only a real safety call, like flooded low-water crossings or a tornado warning, would push your date, and we reschedule right away at no charge.
Do you move pianos and other heavy items?
We do. An upright runs $300 to $460 and a baby grand $540 to $820, and each rides on the proper board, straps, and dollies. Gun safes, pool tables, and big farmhouse furniture are no trouble either. Flag them when you book so the right crew and gear roll out to your place.
Can you send a Certificate of Insurance to my HOA?
Yes, and we issue them often for Pecan Plantation, the Lake Granbury communities, and HOA neighborhoods around Granbury and Cleburne. Forward the requirements your community or management hands you when you book, and we name them on the certificate well before move day, at no cost to you.
Is there anything you cannot load?
A few things, for safety and the law. We cannot haul propane tanks, gasoline, paint, pool chemicals, ammunition, or perishable food, and a grill should travel with its tank disconnected and left behind. We give you the full list when you book so nothing trips you up on the day.
Do you have storage if my dates do not line up?
We do, and it is climate-controlled, which matters in a Texas summer — you do not want furniture or electronics baking in a hot metal unit. Rates run about $90 to $220 a month depending on size. Your things stay wrapped and locked up, and the crew delivers them the day you are ready.
How do your out-of-state moves work?
We run them on our own USDOT and MC authority with a binding written quote, not a number that creeps up at delivery. The same crew that loads your home in Glen Rose stays with the shipment the whole way, and the truck is GPS-tracked. We never hand your move to a broker, a load board, or a warehouse swap.
Do you move offices and businesses?
Yes. We move offices and small businesses around Glen Rose, the courthouse square, Granbury, and Stephenville, and we schedule after hours or on weekends so your team loses as little working time as it can. Files, workstations, and equipment all ride padded and inventoried.
How can I pay?
Major credit and debit cards and bank transfers all work fine. You pay once the job is done, after everything is unloaded and you have walked the place with the crew chief. The total is the flat figure from your written quote, so nothing jumps on you at the end.
What if I have to cancel or reschedule?
Give us 48 hours and any deposit comes back in full. Plans shift, especially around closings and the weather, and we are not going to penalize you for it. The earlier you call, the easier it is for us to open that date for the next family.
Are tips expected?
Never required — your quote covers the whole job. That said, the crew works hard in the Texas heat, and a tip is always appreciated. Folks usually figure 10–20% of the move split across the crew, or a set amount for each mover. It is entirely your call.
