Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a local move take in Dallas?+
A 1-bedroom apartment takes 2–3 hours. A 2-bedroom takes 3–5 hours. A 3-bedroom home takes 5–8 hours. Factors that increase time: more floors (stairs slow things down), narrow doorways, long distances between truck and front door, and number of heavy or awkward items.
Do Dallas movers charge by the hour?+
Yes, local moves are typically priced hourly. You pay for the hours worked by the crew plus a flat truck fee. Some companies charge a minimum of 2–3 hours. We provide an upfront time estimate so you can budget accurately. Call (214) 429-4360 for a time-and-cost estimate for your specific move.
Do I need to provide boxes for my local move?+
No. If you book our packing service, we provide all materials. If you pack yourself, we just need to load your packed boxes and furniture. We do supply furniture blankets and floor protection on every move at no extra charge. Packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap) are available as an add-on.
Can you move heavy furniture up stairs?+
Yes. Moving furniture up stairs is standard — we use proper technique and equipment to handle staircases safely. We use furniture dollies, shoulder straps, and protective padding. For items over 300 lbs or complex spiral staircases, we'll assess the best approach. Some heavy specialty items may require additional crew members.
Do you move apartments in DFW?+
Yes. Apartment moves are a large portion of what we do, especially in dense areas like Las Colinas (Irving), Legacy West (Plano), Addison, and downtown Frisco. We handle elevator coordination, hallway protection, and HOA move-in requirements. Apartment moves often benefit from a morning start before elevator wait times increase.
What areas of DFW do you serve for local moving?+
We serve all 69+ DFW cities for local moving including Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, Denton, Irving, Carrollton, Garland, Mesquite, Rockwall, Allen, Richardson, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Southlake, Colleyville, and all surrounding areas.
