Why two Allen moves with the same size home can cost different amounts. It usually is not the square footage. A one story home in an established neighborhood where the truck parks right at the driveway moves fast. A home in a gated community near Watters Creek that requires advance notice, or a longer carry from the street, takes more time. Access changes the price more than room count does. Tell us your street and your parking situation when you request an estimate.
How you pay. Our rates are generally quoted with a cash or check discount. We accept credit cards, but the discount does not apply to card payments. A service deposit is due at booking. Your written estimate is what counts.
