Einstein Moving Company

Yes, in fact, sometimes furniture disassembly is required in order to move a furniture item safely. Often this includes removing mirrors from dressers, taking apart beds, removing table legs, etc. Everything that we disassemble will be put back together by our team at the other end. Our movers come with their own fully stocked tool bags so they have all the tools they need and these services are included in our hourly rates.

We move things into storage all the time and there are a number of ways to protect your items while in storage. We shrink wrap almost all furniture items but the shrink wrap is applied over and around our moving blankets to make sure they stay on. Shrink wrap is almost never used as a sole means of protection and definitely not for items stored long term in storage as it has a tendency to trap moisture which can damage wood furniture. Paper pads work as well as inexpensive cloth pads. If you have some sheets, extra towels, blankets, or comforters that you don’t mind using, that can be an option as well (the most inexpensive one). Additionally, we also offer the option to use our pads for free (we do ask for a deposit).

Yes, we are insured. In fact, all moving companies are required by the Texas Department of Motor of Vehicles to carry insurance and offer liability for damaged or lost goods. You can go online to the Texas DMV database and enter our USDOT# to see that we are legit. Our number is 2193963.

Adding multiple destinations is not an issue at all. There are no additional charges but, obviously, driving around to multiple locations will take extra time. Since we operate on a per hour basis, that means the cost will be higher. We do not stop the clock while driving from one place to another. Additionally, we are happy to break up the move into multiple components if that is something you prefer. We do have a 2 1/2 hour minimum on all of our moves so it may be better to do it all at once or at least in large blocks. Also, our ability to break up the job into different days depends on our availability. If you decide you would prefer to do that, let us know as soon as possible so we can work to make the dates you request are available.

We do not currently offer storage options. We recommend using sparefoot.com to help find a storage space. It is kind of like the Expedia for storage.

We do not offer unpacking services at this time. Unpacking can be a slow process since we basically have to ask where you would like each item to go as we unpack it. This can make the overall move much more expensive and relatively inefficient. For this reason, we typically recommend customers unpack on their own unless they have lots of room in their budget. If you need unpacking assistance, we may be able to provide a solid recommendation.

We do not currently offer crating services.

Yes, we can help with unloading of rental trucks or PODs but we don’t offer loading services. The reason we don’t offer loading services is that we don’t have control over the transportation of the rental truck or POD and we often don’t get the chance to use our own equipment (wraps, bands, straps) to protect the items during transit. Because of this, we can’t guarantee the quality of the overall move itself and thus don’t offer the service.

Currently, we do not offer moves that cross state lines. If you are moving in state though, we are happy to help!

There are a few things that we prefer customers to handle themselves if possible. These items include cash/gift cards, prescription medication, super fragile breakables, lamp shades, etc.

For morning moves we provide a 30 minute window of arrival to account for traffic conditions. For afternoon moves, the arrival window is 2 hours as it depends on when the move before it finishes. If we arrive after our time window, we immediately deduct $50 off your bill. For each additional 30 minutes we are late after that, we take an additional $25 off.

Yes, we offer complete and partial packing services for residential and commercial moves.

Bad weather happens and the majority of the time we keep moving during minor storms. All furniture items are protected (padded and wrapped/banded) before they leave your house so they don’t get exposed to the elements. Usually there is not much of a walk between the location and our truck so a little rain is rarely an issue. If it is raining very hard we can either wait for the rain to pass or reschedule the move. It really depends on the situation. As always, we will never move anything if you feel the environment isn’t right. In the case of major weather events that lead to unsafe conditions for our workers (icy roads, bad winds, flooding, dangerous heat index) we reserve the right to reschedule moves or bring on additional movers (at cost) to expedite the completion of the move.

Being present and giving directions at the destination address will be the best way to ensure the move goes smoothly and everything is in its correct place. Also, making sure all the boxes are labeled correctly will help as well. Come up with a simple labeling system like BR1 (bedroom 1) and make sure each box is clearly marked and labeled not only on the top but on at least 2 other sides. Labeling each room with a post-it at the destination (placing near the door that serves as the entry into the room) also helps to keep the rooms straight for the movers. Of course, the movers will conduct a walkthrough at the end of the move and will make sure you are happy with where everything ended up. Don’t hesitate to ask them to move things around for you before they go!

Moving can be particularly stressful for pets. Because of this, we encourage you to find a pet-sitter for move day or make sure you have a closed room (preferably empty) in the home where they can stay undisturbed.

We have 26 foot box trucks which typically fit the equivalent of an 1800 square foot home. This of course depends on the individual but that is a relatively good rule of thumb.

This will depend on the time of year. We are busiest on weekends, during the summer, and at the end and beginning of each month. If you are moving during that time, we suggest contacting us as soon as possible and ideally with at least two weeks advance notice. There is no deposit required and no cancellation fee so we recommend getting a date locked down even if you think you may have to reschedule in the future.
