Timeline: Your Ideal Countdown
A simple plan keeps moving stress in check. Here’s a proven sequence for the Dallas, TX to Houston, TX lane:
- 4–6 weeks out: confirm dates, lock inventory, request your free quote
- 2–3 weeks out: finalize packing plan; donate/sell non-essentials
- 1 week out: label rooms, prep keys/FOBs, share building rules with our team
- 48 hours out: secure elevator or dock times if needed; confirm parking/loading
- Moving day: walkthrough with the crew lead; confirm placement plan in Houston
- Delivery day: verify placement, test key furniture assemblies, sign off
Packing That Defends Your Belongings
Good packing isn’t a box count—it’s a protection strategy. Our movers use sturdy cartons, right-sized padding, and labeled, room-specific loads. For fragile or high-value items, we recommend:
- Double-wall dish barrels for kitchenware
- Mirror/TV cartons with edge guards
- Wardrobe boxes to keep clothing crease-free
- Custom crating for art, marble, glass, or antiques
- Mattress bags and sofa shrink-wrap to block dust and scuffs
Prefer to self-pack? We’ll supply materials, a packing guide, and tips to keep your insurance/valuation intact.
Specialty & High-Value Handling
We assign dedicated moving specialists for items that demand extra care:
- Upright and baby grand pianos
- Artwork, sculptures, and gallery pieces
- Wine collections and climate-sensitive goods
- Gym machines and commercial-grade equipment
- IT hardware, servers, and pro audio gear
- Fireproof file cabinets and safes (weight permitting)
Each item is mapped into your load plan so it travels securely and is staged first for careful placement on delivery.
Apartment, HOA, and Building Logistics
Moving in or out of a high-rise or managed property? We coordinate the details:
- Certificates of insurance for building management, if required
- Elevator reservations and dock schedules
- Protective coverings for hallways and doors
- Parking plans to minimize carry distances
- Quiet-hour and access compliance
Share your building’s rules, and Star Van Lines will align the crew plan accordingly.
