Below are the things Somervell County families ask us most: how flat pricing works here, what the $1M cargo coverage takes in, plus how the crew handles the summer heat, the lake houses, and the heavier pieces. Give it a read and your answer is probably waiting.
Still got a question? Write it into our quote form or send it from the contact page. Someone in our office answers plainly the same business day, most often inside an hour.
What does a local Glen Rose move cost?
Hourly work begins at $110 for two movers, with no separate charge for the truck, pads, or dollies. We look over the house in person or on a video you send, then write down one flat figure, and that is what you pay no matter how long the day runs.
Are you licensed and insured in Texas?
Yes. Texas licenses intrastate household movers through the TxDMV, and we hold that registration; for interstate jobs we run on our own USDOT and MC authority, and every move carries $1 million of cargo coverage. Ask any time and the credentials come your way, plus whatever Certificate of Insurance a community or building requires.
Can you handle a move into Pecan Plantation or a gated community?
Routinely. We work the Pecan Plantation guard gate, the lake communities around Granbury, and HOA neighborhoods all the time. Send us whatever the gate or management needs at booking, we get the COI and access squared away ahead of time, and the truck rolls through without holding up your day.
How far ahead should I book?
Weekend and end-of-month dates need a couple of weeks' lead time. Weekdays in the middle of the month can often be booked just days ahead, and if a truck is free we will take a same-day or short-notice job. Call (888) 711-4778.
Do you need a deposit?
Most local moves in the county need no deposit, just a phone confirmation the day before. For larger homes and out-of-state moves, a small refundable deposit reserves the date and is credited to your final bill.
Which areas do you cover?
Home base is Glen Rose, and we run all through Somervell County and out across Hood, Johnson, and Erath (Granbury, Stephenville, Cleburne, Burleson, Tolar, Acton, and the rest), plus the regular hauls up to Fort Worth and the DFW metroplex.
Will you do the packing?
Yes. Our crew can box the entire house or only the kitchen, the fragile pieces, or anything else you'd prefer to skip. Every box, sheet of paper, and roll of tape comes from us.
Can I pack myself to save money?
Of course. Lots of customers pack their own cartons and leave us only the furniture and heavy pieces, or we can handle just the breakables. Anything we take on is listed plainly in the estimate.
Do you sell boxes and supplies?
Yes. We carry cartons, tape, paper, and bubble wrap, along with special boxes for dishes, wardrobe items, and TVs. Drop-off can happen early, so you pack on your own schedule, ideally in the cooler morning hours.
How does your crew handle the Texas summer heat?
We start loading early to get ahead of those 100-degree afternoons, the crew keeps water close, and anything the heat can hurt (candles, records, electronics, framed art) waits in the shade until the truck's ready. We pack tight and move quick so nothing of yours sits baking longer than it has to.
What if there's a storm on moving day?
Ordinary weather doesn't stop us; we cover floors and shrink-wrap furniture to keep everything dry and clean. Only a genuine severe-weather day (the kind of spring thunderstorm, hail, or tornado warning that makes the roads truly unsafe) pushes the date, and we send out a no-penalty reschedule right away.
Will you move a piano or other heavy pieces?
Yes. Uprights run $300 to $460 and baby grands $540 to $820. Piano boards, four-wheel dollies, and straps also handle a gun safe, pool table, or other heavy piece. Tell us about them up front and the crew arrives equipped.
Can you get my community or building its Certificate of Insurance?
Yes, that's routine for us at gated communities, lake associations, and HOA neighborhoods around the county. Send over the requirements management hands you at booking, and a COI listing them by name arrives well before moving day, no charge.
Is there anything you can't load?
For safety and legal reasons we can't haul propane, gasoline, paint, chemicals, or other hazardous materials, and we also leave behind perishable food and ammunition. You get the complete list when you book.
Do you offer storage?
Yes, climate-controlled units run somewhere around $90 to $220 a month depending on size, which matters in a Texas summer. Your things sit wrapped and locked until your dates line up, and we deliver whenever you give the word.
How does an out-of-state move from Texas work?
Out-of-state moves go under our own USDOT authority at a single binding price set in writing, and we track the truck from start to finish. Whoever loads your things in Glen Rose unloads them at the other end: no handoff, no load board, no trailer swap at some warehouse.
Can you move a business or office?
Yes. Office and commercial moves around the county and up to the metroplex are squarely our kind of work, often booked for an evening or weekend so the business loses as few open hours as it can.
How can I pay?
We take credit and debit cards and bank transfers. Payment comes after the last piece is set down and you've done the walk-through, and you'll know the total well before then.
How does canceling work?
Let us know 48 hours ahead and you can cancel or change the date with the whole deposit refunded. We don't penalize changed plans; an early heads-up just lets us offer the slot to another family.
Should I tip the crew?
Tipping is optional and the quote already covers the whole job, though crews working in Texas heat do appreciate it. Many customers give around 10 to 20 percent of the job total, divided among the crew, while others hand each mover a fixed amount. It's entirely up to you.
