Why It Matters

A smoother move starts with a plan.

Moving is something that most people only do a handful of times in their life. Because of this, it is hard to figure out how to make sure everything goes smoothly. With that in mind, we have put together a number of great moving tips to help you avoid potential problems.

These tips are from the best movers in Houston, TX, where we have our moving offices. Our team of local movers and long-distance movers are also here to answer any questions you might have — please read on and get in touch with us when you are ready.

Tip 01

Start packing early.

The single best thing you can do for your future self.

1 What to pack first

Holiday items

Decorations and seasonal storage you won't need before the move.

Out-of-season clothes

Winter coats in summer, sandals in winter — pack them now.

Attic & basement

The forgotten zones — the easiest place to start.

2 The benefit

A month of small effort beats a week of panic. Start now and you will:

  • Get the bulk done weeks in advance
  • Identify what to donate or toss
  • Pack carefully — not in a rush
  • Skip the night-before stress
Tip 02

Book your moving company in advance.

The best Houston movers fill up fast — especially in peak season.

Call early

Even before you know all the details — just lock the date.

Peak season fills up

May through August is the busiest stretch in Houston.

Local or long-distance?

Knowing the answer is enough to start the booking.

Tip 03

Let the movers handle the work.

A lot of people try to take on too much of the work themselves — even when they are paying a moving company.

Professional movers know how to get things done properly. Letting them handle what you are paying them for is the best way to ensure everything gets done quickly and easily — and frees you up to focus on the other important tasks of moving day.

Tip 04

Use the proper boxes.

Quality boxes protect your belongings throughout the move.

Garment Boxes

Tall boxes with hanging rods — clothes go straight from closet to closet.

Dish Pack Boxes

Reinforced double-wall boxes for plates, glassware and china.

Specialty Fragiles

Custom-fit boxes for art, mirrors, and electronics.

Standard Sizes

Small for heavy items, medium for general, large for light.
