Movers in Acton, TX | Joe Powell House Movers

Licensed, insured movers serving Acton and the rest of Somervell County — flat-rate, on time, every move.

Acton is the Hood County community just east of Granbury, an old settlement best known for the little Acton State Historic Site, the smallest state park in Texas, set around the cemetery where Davy Crockett’s widow is buried. The area has filled in with homes over the years, a lot of them within reach of Lake Granbury, so an Acton move often blends two of our specialties: established country and acreage homes on one hand, and lake-area places on the other. We carry families out of long-held homes off the farm roads and we load weekend places near the water, sometimes in the same week. Joe crewed for a moving outfit over in Granbury before starting the company, so this stretch east of town is ground he has worked for years.

The lake-area homes here carry the same wrinkles we know from up and down the shoreline: long sloped drives, an entry set below where the truck parks, and the odd tight turn down toward the water. We look over the route first and add hands when that walk gets long. The country places off the farm roads can sit behind a gate on a gravel drive, so we read the ground and pick the right rig, especially after rain. Spring storms with hail and a tornado watch now and then come with the calendar on this edge of Tornado Alley, so we track the radar and keep loads covered on the way out. Summer runs hot, often near or past 100, so we begin early and run the cab cold for the drive home.

From a farm-road acreage home to a lake-area place near the water, our two-mover local crews run $110/hr with the truck and gear included, and the flat number goes in writing. Joe Powell House Movers is a licensed and insured Texas mover, with our TxDMV household-goods registration, USDOT and MC authority on file, and $1M cargo coverage.

“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.”

“Moved our lake house on Granbury and these guys were careful on those steep steps down to the water. Quote didn't budge a dollar. Solid.”

“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.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve both the country homes and the lake-area places around Acton?

We cover both. East of Granbury we load established acreage and farm-road homes as well as the weekend and lake-area places within reach of Lake Granbury, sometimes in the same week. The crew matches the day to the home either way.

Can you handle a lake-area home with a steep drive near Acton?

Yes. Like a lot of places near the water, Acton lake homes can sit at the bottom of a long sloped drive, with the entry below where the truck parks. We read the route first, lay a clean path, and put enough hands on it that the longer walk does not stretch the day out.

How do you handle spring weather on an Acton move?

Acton sits on the edge of Tornado Alley, so spring brings thunderstorms, hail, and the odd tornado watch. We track the radar, time the loading around the weather when we can, and keep furniture padded and covered so a storm never reaches it.

What does a local Acton move cost?

Two-mover crews run $110/hr, three $150/hr, and four $195/hr, with the truck, blankets, and dollies included. For most Acton homes we write a flat-rate quote, with one-bedrooms around $560 to $950 and three-bedrooms around $1,650 to $2,800.
