When it comes to moving your home, trust a residential moving company that prioritizes care, communication, and efficiency every step of the way. Our proven process ensures your move is as seamless and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you hire our full-service residential moving team in Houston:
Our Process to Residential Moving Services
Step 1: Pre-Move Communication
At Local Movings, we believe a successful move starts with detailed planning. Our team will gather all the necessary information you can provide to help us understand your needs and prepare our movers accordingly. This includes:
1. A personalized confirmation of your moving details, including rates, crew assignment, and key contact information
2. A pre-move call or text the day before your move to confirm start time and introduce you to your residential movers crew lead
This step helps ensure that both you and our team know exactly what to expect on moving day.
Step 2: Crew Arrival & Initial Walkthrough
On move day, your assigned residential moving service crew will arrive on time in uniform, with a clean truck and all the necessary tools and supplies. The crew leader will perform a complete walkthrough with you to:
- Identify all items that need to be moved
- Discuss any special handling or room-by-room priorities
- Address items requiring waiver signatures (e.g., TVs, washers/dryers)
- Document any pre-existing damage
- Determine what needs to be disassembled and reassembled during the move
- Review the estimate and rates, and confirm everything with a signed contract
Step 3: Move Preparation & Property Protection
As a full-service residential moving company, we go the extra mile to protect your home and belongings before anything is moved. Our preparation includes:
1. Laying protective runners to shield floors from dirt or damage
2. Shrink-wrapping upholstered furniture
3. Using moving blankets to cushion hard surfaces and avoid scratches
4. Disassembling furniture with professional tools to ensure safe transport
Step 4: The Move Itself – Careful, Efficient Execution
This is where our residential movers truly stand out. With a system built on experience, we work efficiently and safely to load your belongings:
One team member remains in the truck to carefully organize and stack items, maximizing space and minimizing movement during transit
The other movers transport items from your home to the truck with speed and care
Having a mover in the truck at all times also provides an added layer of security during your move
Final Walkthrough
Once everything has been loaded, our crew will conduct a second walkthrough of your property. This final step ensures:
1. Nothing has been overlooked or left behind
2. All of your instructions have been followed
3. You’re fully satisfied before we leave
Here are the key aspects to focus on
Go through each room to ensure that nothing has been left behind. This includes checking closets, drawers, and any hidden corners. It’s important to ensure all personal belongings are accounted for.
Look for any remaining debris or trash that may have been overlooked during the packing and moving process. Make sure the space is left clean and tidy.
If any items are damaged or there are concerns that need to be addressed, document them immediately for future reference and resolution.
It’s essential to communicate with the customer during this walk through. They should have the opportunity to verify that everything is as they requested and to express any last-minute concerns.
By thoroughly executing this second walk-through, we ensure a smooth transition for the customer and instill confidence that their move has been handled with care and attention to detail.
