Local Moving in Glen Rose & Somervell County | Joe Powell House Movers

Hourly in-town moves throughout Glen Rose and Somervell County, on Joe Powell's own trucks with his own W-2 crew

Before the company carried his name, Joe Powell spent his Somervell County boyhood moving cattle and stacking hay, then learned the trade on a Granbury crew. He struck out solo in 2014. The everyday work since has been short runs close to home: a place by the square swapped for a few acres toward Nemo, a rental off US-67 carried over into Tolar, a weekend cabin on the Hood County line traded down for a cottage in town. Joe and his guys handle that kind of job all week. The rig belongs to us. Every man aboard it is on our payroll, full W-2. Load to unload, the same crew that hoists your dresser onto the rig is the crew waiting to bring it back off at the far end.

Around Somervell County and the towns next door, we charge by the clock. Two movers comes to $110/hr, a rate that has the rig, the blankets, the carts, and the wrap rolled in before we even start. Nothing for fuel lands on the bottom line. No tacked-on equipment fee turns up at settle-up time. We put an estimate in your hand in writing before any truck rolls onto your property, so there is no guessing left once we knock at the door.

Out here, how a place sits matters as much as how far it is. Half a mile of caliche off FM-200, a guard gate to clear at Pecan Plantation, a long ranch lane that swings wide of the porch. We figure that out in advance, since a hard approach eats more clock than the actual drive does. When the spring storms build we keep the radar close, and through the brutal stretch of July and August we take the day’s first opening so the men stay fresh and the load rides out before the heat tops off. Idle minutes you do not foot the bill for keep your cost down.

What Glen Rose Neighbors Say

“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.”

Service FAQ

How exactly does the clock get counted?

We start counting the moment the crew reaches your loading door, and we stop the instant the last item rests where you want it. That $110/hr two-mover figure has the rig and every standard tool baked in, which is why you never see blankets or fuel billed on the side.

Is there a separate charge for driving between towns?

Same as most outfits, we add one flat travel fee to bring the rig out and return it to home base. That fee prints plainly on the estimate with nothing tucked away, and the driving from one address to the next simply rides on the clock.

Could you fit me in soon?

Most weeks the crew can reach your job inside two or three days, and a smaller load frequently lands same-week. Drop your particulars into the quote form and you will get an honest read on what is open, back within one business hour.

Can you reach a place down a gravel road or past a gate?

That covers a good slice of our week out here. We move households at the tail of caliche lanes off the farm-to-market roads and past the gate at Pecan Plantation all the time. Lay out the approach when you book, and we set the crew and the truck spot to match it, so no meter ticks while we sort access on arrival.

Do you still work jobs in the dead of summer?

All year, triple-digit afternoons and all. We take the day's earliest opening, keep cold water aboard, and park anything heat-fragile out of the sun until it loads, so your date holds however high the gauge runs by mid-afternoon.
