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? That’s fine — put the details on our quote form or reach us through the contact page. A real person at the office gets back to you with a clear answer, same business day, usually within the hour.
What does a local Glen Rose move cost?
Two movers start at $110 an hour, and that already covers the truck, the pads, and the dollies. After a quick walk-through, or a video you send over, we write the flat figure down, so the quoted amount is what you pay and the clock never springs anything on you the day of.
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?
Try for a couple weeks out on weekends and the end of the month. A weekday or mid-month slot often holds on just a few days' notice, and any time there's an open truck we're glad to take same-day or short-notice work — call (888) 711-4778.
Do you need a deposit?
Most local jobs around the county ask for nothing down; a phone confirmation the day before is all it takes. Bigger jobs and the interstate hauls hold the date with a small refundable deposit, which then comes off your final balance.
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?
We will — the whole house boxed by our crew, or just a partial pass over the kitchen, the breakables, or whatever you'd rather not touch. Every box, sheet of paper, and roll of tape comes from us.
Can I pack myself to save money?
Of course. Plenty of folks fill their own boxes and hand off just the furniture and the heavy lifting. We'll also box up nothing but the fragile pieces if that's easier on you. Whatever falls to us goes plainly into the estimate.
Do you sell boxes and supplies?
Yes — cartons, tape, paper, bubble wrap, plus the odd-shaped boxes built for dishes, hanging clothes, and flat screens. We can drop them off early so you fill them at whatever pace suits you, ideally before the afternoon heat sets in.
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. Figure $300 to $460 on an upright and $540 to $820 on a baby grand. Gun safes, pool tables, and other heavy or awkward items ride on proper piano boards, four-wheelers, and straps too. Flag them at booking so the crew shows up with the right gear.
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?
Safety and the law keep us off hazardous goods like propane, gasoline, paint, and chemicals, along with perishable food and ammunition. A full rundown comes to you at booking so the day holds no surprises.
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?
Long hauls run on our own USDOT authority, priced as one binding figure in writing, with the truck tracked the whole way. The same people who load in Glen Rose stay with the shipment door to door — nothing handed off, no load board, no swapping trailers at a 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?
Major credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers all work. Payment settles once everything's down and your walk-through is done — the total sits in front of you well before we close out.
How does canceling work?
Cancel or move the date on 48 hours' notice and your deposit comes back whole. Nobody gets dinged here for a change of plans; the earlier the heads-up, the easier we can open that slot for somebody else.
Should I tip the crew?
A tip is never part of the deal, and the quote stands complete on its own, but hard work in the Texas heat tends to earn one. Plenty of folks land near 10 to 20 percent of the job split among the crew, or a set amount per person — strictly your call.
