Movers in Tolar, TX | Joe Powell House Movers

Licensed, insured movers serving Tolar and the rest of Somervell County. Flat-rate, on time, every move.

Tolar is the small ranch town up US-377 between Glen Rose and Granbury, and it is one of those places where the address is as likely to be a number of acres as a street. Most of our Tolar work is country: acreage homes, a few cattle places, and the spread-out lots where folks moved out for the room and the quiet. That changes how we plan a move. The houses sit back off the road behind a gate or a cattle guard, the driveways run long and often gravel, and there is usually a barn, a shop, or a tack room that needs clearing right along with the house. Joe hauled cattle and hay around this county before he started the company, so a Tolar place with a loaded shop and a couple of outbuildings is the kind of move our crew is built for.

The long country drives are the thing to get right out here. After a wet stretch, a gravel or dirt drive can be soft enough that a fully loaded 26-footer leaves ruts or bogs down, so we check the approach first and shuttle in on a lighter rig when the ground calls for it. Spring brings the storms this part of Texas is known for, with hail and the odd tornado watch, so we stay on the radar and tarp loads before they reach the truck. Summer runs hot and dry, often over 100 with a burn ban on, and we begin those jobs early and run the cab cold for the short trip back toward Glen Rose. US-377 keeps the trip between Tolar and town quick, so distance does not pad the bill.

For a small acreage house off the highway or a full ranch with a barn to clear, two of our movers run $110/hr with truck and gear, and the flat price is on paper before we lift anything. As a licensed, insured Texas mover we hold TxDMV household-goods registration and USDOT and MC authority for longer hauls, backed by $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

Can you clear the barn and shop along with the house on a Tolar ranch move?

Yes, and it is a regular part of our country work. A lot of Tolar places have a barn, shop, or tack room to empty besides the house. We size the crew and the day to the full job, so the outbuildings get loaded right along with everything inside.

Can your truck handle a long gravel drive out in Tolar?

We plan for it. Many Tolar homes are set far off the road behind a gate or cattle guard, down a long gravel or dirt drive. We check the approach first, and if the ground is soft from rain we shuttle loads in on a lighter rig so we do not rut your drive or get a heavy truck stuck.

How do you deal with the weather on a Tolar move?

Spring out here brings hail and the occasional tornado watch, and summer runs hot and dry, often over 100. We stay on the radar, start hot-day jobs early, run the cab cold for the trip to Glen Rose, and tarp every load before it reaches the truck.

What does a local Tolar move cost?

Two, three, or four movers cost $110, $150, or $195 an hour; truck, blankets, and dollies are free. Tolar homes mostly get a written flat price: $560 to $950 for one bedroom, $1,650 to $2,800 for three.
