TEXAS' TOP-RATED MOVING COMPANY
Moving to Texas is a big step, no matter the size of your move. The first thing you should do when moving to Texas is find the best moving company to partner with. As one of the most reliable moving companies in Texas, we've compiled a comprehensive guide to moving, including all the tasks you might have forgotten to consider otherwise.
When moving into any house or apartment, start by measuring the dimensions of each room in your new space. Envision your ideal living space and make a floor plan according to your measurements. This will help you as you begin packing your belongings. Label everything you are taking, making it clear what is in each box and what room it is going into. If you do not want to deal with the stresses of packing, reach out to All My Sons Moving & Storage. As Texas’s full-service moving company, we can help you take the stress out of each step in your moving process. Our team of professional movers suggests making four piles: taking, tossing, donating, and selling. For the items that have no value, let them go. You can usually donate slightly used items. For pieces that you might like to get some money for, try selling on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, or another online market.
Once you have all of your valuables put together, give us a call! Our local and long-distance Texas movers will take care of the rest.
Who Do I Need to Contact When Moving to Texas?
Moving to Texas can be overwhelming at times, but we’re here to help. Tell your employer you need to update your payroll information, request time off, and see if you are eligible for a tax deduction. If you have children, contact their schools; if you have pets, contact their veterinarian. You will also need to notify your current utility companies. Schedule the day and time for them to come out and take their final meter readings, as well as to turn on your new home’s utilities. Finally, you’ll want to stay in contact with your Texas moving team. There is a more detailed list of other important contacts you should call on the All My Sons Moving & Storage Moving Checklist, so be sure to check it out.
There are a few companies you should keep in mind when it comes to Texas utilities. Their availability will fluctuate depending on the county or city you live in, so make sure you check your local page for more information.

What Should I Do Two Weeks Before Moving to Texas?
Two weeks before your move, start cleaning your home, backing up your computers, and returning items to friends and family. Make sure you have all your essential documents and money in a safe place. You may want to identify where the nearest gas stations, grocery shops, and convenience stores are to your new home in case you find yourself in a predicament. Also, make sure the fire alarms are functional. Then, the night before your move, unplug your freezer and water hoses.
What Do I Do on Moving Day?
It’s the big day! Hopefully, you enjoyed a good night’s sleep and are ready for some serious work ahead. Before your Texas moving company team arrives, make sure your walls and floors are protected. Lay some plastic on the floor and create a makeshift barrier along the walls to prevent unnecessary scuffs and blemishes. With all your belongings packed up and ready to go, it’s time to start schlepping boxes onto the truck. The All My Sons Texas team has a systematic process when filling the moving truck, so let us take the lead.
When you arrive at your new home, keep track of your items as they are taken off the moving truck, and report any potential damages. Have a friend or family member advise our team where the furniture goes using the labels you created. If you are renting the new space, do not forget to do a final inspection with your landlord. And there you have it. You are all set! Be sure to tip your movers, write a review, and start settling into your new home.
If you’re considering a move to Texas, we want to be part of that big moment in your life. We have strived to maintain the family values on which our moving company was founded, which we continue to do today.
