Q: Do I have to take everything out of the drawers of my desk, cabinets, dressers, etc. when moving?

A: Lone Star Moving asks that all drawers be emptied of any breakable items, money, coins, jewelry, books, and magazines. You may leave clothing or blankets inside the drawers.

Q: Does Lone Star Moving disassemble/reassemble furniture?

A: Yes, Lone Star Moving will breakdown/set-up beds, take mirrors and glass off of furniture, disassemble/reassemble furniture, and when necessary, disconnect/reconnect appliances. (Lone Star Moving is not responsible for any plumbing issues pertaining to disconnecting/reconnecting appliances.)

Q: Does Lone Star Moving take plants?

A: Yes, but they cannot be guaranteed.

Q: What happens if it rains on my moving day?

A: Lone Star Moving will do our very best to protect your belongings from elements while getting the moving job done on schedule. We do this in several ways, from wrapping the furniture in pads before moving it out of the home to covering the floors to keep them clean and dry. If need be, Lone Star Moving will add an extra man to speed up the job. A last resort will be to reschedule the job at the customer's convenience.

Q: What hours and days of the week does Lone Star Moving operate?

A: Lone Star Moving schedules work 7 days a week (with no extra charge for weekends) starting from 8:00 am until the job is complete. You can schedule the start of your job as late as 6:00 pm for those out there who can't get off during the day.

Q: Does Lone Star Moving have references available?

A: Lone Star Moving will provide future customers with references upon request. We have been in the moving business since 2003 with over a thousand satisfied clients, along with many local business relations.

Q: Is there a right way and a wrong way to pack a box?

A: Yes. Here are some tips for a successful packing job:

• Make sure all your boxes are properly labeled
  1. Room Location
  2. Short list of box contents
  3. Label box "Fragile", if needed
  
  
• Do not over-pack large boxes. Books and heavy smaller items need to be packed in smaller boxes, while large boxes hold blankets, pillows, large toys, and bulky items.
  
  
• Do not pack with boxes that have been used on more than one other occasion (two uses should be the limit, if possible). They have a tendency to fall apart during the move, possibly losing or breaking the items in the box.
  
  

Q: Are there any ways to cut costs on my move?

A: Sure. One suggestion is to have everything that can be packed into a box, boxed up and ready to go. This will cut down the time it takes to move your items. Another idea is to have your beds broken down, mirrors and glass shelves taken off, and appliances disconnected. Time is money so the quicker we can do the job, the more money you save!

Other Moving Tips:

Lone Star Moving recommends having all of your immediate necessities (documents, keys, money/checkbook, personal effects, Rx medicines) stored away during the move so they are not lost or misplaced.

Lone Star Moving also recommends having pets put up during the move.

Customers should transport family heirlooms themselves, when at all possible.
