The city of Houston is the largest in Texas with a population of over 2.3 million and a land area of just under 600 square miles. Moving in the city limits or even to one of the surrounding smaller cities and towns can be a major undertaking if you are not using a professional moving service.
When considering home movers, there is one important factor to keep in mind. Companies that offer local moving don’t have to meet any specific standards, unless they are members of ProMovers and have certification or if they are associated with a major national moving company that has a set of professional guidelines and standards.
Unfortunately, many people fall into the trap of thinking that any business with a website and a truck is a professional mover. There are a few key factors to look for before choosing home movers, all which focus on the quality of service you can expect, the professionalism and training of the staff and the care and attention that will be provided to your possessions during the move.

Look for the home movers you are considering on moving review website. These will be independent sites where people post their comments about their experience with specific Houston movers.
Check for any patterns of negative comments, issues with damaged contents of loads and the unwillingness of the movers to deal with claims. Also look for any comments about overcharging or refusing honor an estimate, these are often signs of unprofessional services that typically close down once the complaints start coming in.
By choosing a national moving company that is located in the city, you have the advantage of a company with a top reputation as well as professionally trained movers, packers, and drivers. This not only gives you peace of mind but also results in a better overall move with less stress and fewer problems.
