Best 5 Movers in Keller, TX

How to Choose the Best Local Mover in Keller

Consider each company's licensing, cost, services, and customer reviews before deciding.

Determine Your Budget

Based on our findings, the average cost of hiring a local mover in Keller is $117 per hour. The overall cost amounts to $4,512 for a two-bedroom move. Factors that affect your actual cost include any additional tasks you need done, move distance, your home size, and the season.

We suggest obtaining quotes from at least three reputable movers in your area. Get written estimates, which should break down your total cost and the hourly rate or flat fee. Keep your mover's estimate and compare it to the final cost to ensure fair pricing.

Read Customer Reviews

Moving companies need good customer feedback. Reading customer reviews on the Better Business Bureau, Google Reviews, Trustpilot, social media, and Yelp will indicate which movers prioritize positive customer experiences. We recommend thoroughly researching customer reviews before choosing a moving company.

Ensure Proper Licensing

Moving companies in Keller must follow different licensing requirements depending on their service area. If you are moving from one Texas city to another, choose a mover licensed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.

If you're moving across state lines, the regulations are different. Interstate moving companies must be licensed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and must carry active United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Motor Carrier (MC) numbers. You can use these numbers to look up a mover’s registration status and complaint history on the FMCSA’s mover registration search tool.

Services

Ask if your chosen mover can deliver the services that meet your expectations when requesting quotes. Conduct an inventory of your belongings before seeking quotes and note down any basic or add-on services that you may need to ensure accurate pricing. Moreover, tell your moving company representative about any extra services you may need to assess the company's ability to deliver suitable service.

Types of Moving Services

A full-service mover will include the following services for basic moves:

• Basic wrapping materials for furniture protection
• Loading and unloading
• Released liability coverage for loss or damage

Inform your moving company about the additional services you need during the quote process. Services that can contribute to higher pricing include:

• Crating for art or antiques
• Extra flights of stairs
• Long carries
• Packing
• Piano moving
• Storage
• Unpacking
• Vehicle shipping

Tips To Consider When Moving in Keller, TX

Here are some additional tips to keep in mind when moving to, from, or within Keller.

Schedule an Early Move

Keller traffic during the morning and evening rush hours is notoriously hectic. Navigating gridlock in a moving truck is even more challenging than with a personal-use vehicle. Movers getting stuck in traffic typically leads to higher costs if they charge by the hour. Planning your move for the early morning ensures that your movers arrive before rush hour and head to your new home in the afternoon when traffic is lighter.

Avoid Busy Season

The busiest moving period, which falls between May and September, coincides with the hot summer temperatures in Keller. This can slow or negatively impact your moving experience. If you book in advance, you should be able to schedule with the mover you prefer regardless of the season. However, the movers may be hindered by the heat.

Pack in Advance

We recommend you begin packing about six weeks in advance to avoid rushing to pack on your moving day. Spending time packing a few boxes each day can make the process less overwhelming. Most moving companies approach same-day packing requests similarly. In many cases, movers won't move loose items that haven’t been packed by the time your move is scheduled to begin.
