Moving locally in the Flower Mound area to anywhere in DFW does not have to be an expensive part of the relocation process. In fact, with just a bit of planning and strategy, most customers can reduce the cost of a move, even when hiring one of the top local moving companies in the area.
If moving on a budget, here are a few strategies to consider to help to keep the cost of the move as low as possible while still using reliable, professional local moving companies.
Packing and Crating
Packing and crating is an additional service for all local moving companies. To assist in reducing the cost of the move, customers can plan to complete some or all of their own boxing and packing of household contents.
For valuables, breakables, or fragile items, it may be cost-effective to hire the moving company to complete the packing and boxing of these items. By hiring the mover’s packing crew for limited items, there is less risk of damage or breaking due to incorrect packing.
Reduce the Amount to be Moved
If you are moving from a home or an apartment in the Flower Mound area, this is a great time to declutter and get rid of old, unwanted, and unused items. Consider having a garage sale or donating these items to charity. This is particularly important with heavy or bulky items that add time to the move and weight on the truck.
Choose the Moving Time Wisely
Peak moving season in any area of DFW is the summer months as well as weekends throughout the year. The first/last weekend is the busiest month, particularly for apartment moves.
If possible, booking a move outside of these peak seasons offers the best selection of times for the move. Many moving services offer discounts or specials for mid-week moves or slower moving times, and customers can take advantage of these discounts for some terrific savings.
