Hiring a mover in Houston
Houston's hot, humid summers, heavy rain and hurricane season put real strain on AC systems, roofs, drains and plumbing. Many homes across the metro sit on clay soil that shifts, which can stress slab plumbing over time.
Movers that move household goods within Texas for pay must register with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). Interstate movers need a USDOT number from the FMCSA.
What to ask before you hire
- Ask for the mover's TxDMV registration (or USDOT number for out-of-state moves).
- Get a written estimate — ask if it is binding or non-binding.
- Ask how they handle damage and what coverage is included.
- Book early for weekends and the end of the month.
