Houston families tend to ask the same handful of things before they book, so Damon had us gather the honest answers in one spot: who actually turns up at your door, how Alicia lands on a single flat figure across the four counties, what our Texas and federal paperwork really protects, why your deposit comes back, plus how packing, the storage units, and our out-of-state hauls work. Yours not below? Type your question on the form below, and Brittany texts or rings you back the same day.
Is All Some an actual Houston mover, or does my job get passed along to somebody else?
We are the mover, plain and simple, and your job stays in-house from the quote through the last box. None of it gets sold off. Our Texas paperwork sits on file under TxDMV registration, USDOT authority, and MC authority; the twelve trucks live at our Summer Street yard; and every person on the crew earns W-2 wages that Damon signs. The estimator pricing the work and the movers carrying your sofa down three flights all share one company payroll, never a network of strangers.
How does Alicia arrive at a price on a move anywhere across the four counties?
You choose the format. Lighter loads usually go by the clock: $120 hourly for two movers, $165 for three, $215 for four. Bigger homes tend to use a flat band keyed to bedroom count, with studios landing around $400 to $650, one-bedrooms $650 to $1,050, two-bedrooms $1,050 to $1,750, three-bedrooms $1,750 to $2,850, and four-bedrooms $2,800 to $4,400. Once Alicia walks your rooms and sees how the property lets a crew in, she locks a single figure that will not climb on delivery day, no surprise fuel line or stair add-on appearing afterward.
Can your crew handle a Galleria or Medical Center tower that demands an insurance certificate first?
We run those constantly. A high-rise generally wants three items squared away beforehand, a COI made out to the building, a freight elevator reserved for your window, and an agreed dock time, and Brittany handles every bit of that well ahead. Each tower follows its own access rules, we learn them before move day, and the single flat rate already folds in that prep.
How far across Greater Houston does All Some send trucks?
Through all four counties. In Harris that means the inner-loop blocks, the Heights, Montrose, Midtown, Bellaire, River Oaks, west into the Energy Corridor and southeast toward Clear Lake; Fort Bend takes in Sugar Land and Katy; Montgomery reaches Spring and The Woodlands up I-45; Brazoria stretches down to Pearland. Out-of-town hauls depart the same yard, climbing I-45 toward the Dallas area or rolling west along I-10 to San Antonio and Austin.
While you have my belongings, what coverage rides on the load?
Every job carries $1M cargo coverage. The default released-value rate set by federal rule, $0.60/lb, sits on the load automatically, and if you would rather protect declared worth, full-value protection runs 1 to 3 percent. Should anything need a claim, you get a nine-month window, and because we are the mover rather than a go-between, that claim heads straight to Jared at the Summer Street office instead of a carrier you have never spoken with.
Will I owe a deposit just to lock in my Houston date?
A small refundable hold between $100 and $200 books the calendar slot, and it is not an added charge, we knock it off the final bill on delivery day. Grabbing a fat deposit and then going quiet is precisely the broker habit Damon launched All Some to steer clear of.
If a Gulf storm or a property bumps my date, what then?
Plans slide in Houston, and we slide right with them. Give Brittany a heads-up a day ahead or two and we will either return the hold or shift you onto the following open date. A system spinning up offshore, a closing date that drifts, an HOA pushing its move window, none of that is unusual here, and one phone call settles the whole thing.
Can the All Some crew box up the house, not just carry it?
Absolutely. Pick a full-home pack, a partial covering only the breakable kitchenware and the framed art, or simply have us leave you boxes and tape to wrap on your own timeline. Each item gets padded and shrink-sealed, which counts going down a tight stairwell or working through a sticky Gulf-Coast afternoon, and the packing falls to our own staff, never temp hands pulled in for one day.
Do you offer storage to cover the gap between Houston leases?
We do. When a closing runs long or the next place is not ready, climate-controlled units cost roughly $110 to $260 monthly depending on size and keep your things safe until everything syncs. Bring it up when you call and Alicia folds the storage straight into your estimate.
Does All Some run long-distance moves leaving Houston?
Yes. Our authority, USDOT and MC authority, covers it. A single truck with a single crew handles the entire trip, from your Houston front door to the address where you are settling. Frequent runs climb I-45 toward Dallas and head west on I-10 toward San Antonio and Austin, with cross-country lanes beyond. The same people who load also unload, so nothing ever changes trailers or sits parked in some lot mid-route.
After a third-floor walk-up in the August humidity, is a tip on the crew expected?
It is never required, though plenty of folks offer one after the team has plainly put in the work, and five flights in 98-degree heat tends to qualify. No fixed figure exists; some people pass each mover a set amount of cash, others go by a slice of the total. Entirely your call, and Reggie's and Hector's guys give the same effort regardless.
