Hiring movers in Texas
What a Texas mover has to give you in writing, and how to check they are licensed.
When: Three to four weeks before move-in
What to expect
- A written estimate before the move. Ask whether it is a fixed price or by the hour.
- A list of what is covered if something breaks, and what extra coverage costs.
- Busy days are weekends and the last week of the month. Book early for those.
Check before you hire
- Movers working inside Texas must be licensed with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. You can look a mover up there.
- Be careful with anyone who wants a large cash deposit up front.
