Why a Mile of Distance Tells You Nothing About the Bill
Out here, two homes can sit a few minutes apart and still cost wildly different amounts to move. One job is a single-story ranch place near Tivy: gravel drive wide enough for the truck, a clear path to the door, and the big armoire loaded before the morning gets hot. The next sits inside a Comanche Trace gate, where a guard logs the truck in, the cul-de-sac won’t let a 26-footer turn around, and a flagstone walk runs to a front door nobody wants chipped. What Wade or Rhonda writes down reflects that second house honestly, because the figure follows your belongings and your front door, not the odometer. Whoever pads your dresser in Riverhill works for us on a W-2, full stop; we don’t grab day labor off a corner and call it a crew.
Where the Local Rate Still Applies
Anywhere in Kerr County, plus the Hill Country around it, falls under local pricing. Picture a circle: Ingram and Hunt up the Guadalupe to the west, Center Point and Comfort to the east, Bandera and the dude ranches to the south, and Fredericksburg up SH-16 to the north. A ranch with a half-mile gravel approach off SH-27, a downtown unit on Sidney Baker, a cabin tucked along SH-39 by the river, we cover all three the same way. None of the usual snags stop us either, not a dead gate code, not a crossing the river shut overnight, not a yard too cramped to spin the truck.
Built Into Every Booking, Wherever You Live
- Two W-2 movers, and if you pick the clock at $120/hr there’s a two-hour floor
- Blankets and stretch wrap go on each piece before it leaves its spot, never after
- We lay runners in both houses and cap the doorframes and corners at each one
- Headboards, tables and the big case goods come apart here and go back together there
- Every loose screw and foot ends up bagged, labeled, and taped to its own piece
You Get Two Prices, and We Tell You Which Wins
Before you put a pen to anything, you’ll know the cheaper option. The flat bands look like this: a studio at $360 to $540, a one-bedroom $540 to $840, a two-bedroom $840 to $1,450, a three-bedroom $1,450 to $2,450. Light load, short distance, and the hourly clock at $120/hr for two movers (two-hour minimum) can beat all of those. We run both and quote you the lower one.
Two Things We’re Straight About
Take the hourly route and your own cabinets are yours to box, unless packing gets added on. The washer, sure, we’ll slide it back into place, but hooking up the water and the gas is a plumber’s call to make, not ours.
One Ordinary Kerr County Day
Here is the shape of a normal job, written out so neither the afternoon heat nor a quick-building storm surprises you:
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 7:00 AM | We get rolling early, ahead of the triple-digit heat; the lead tours both stops, lays runners, caps the frames |
| 7:30 AM | The back rooms come apart first, and every bit of hardware drops into a labeled bag |
| 9:30 AM | Loading runs deepest-room-first, so pieces come off in roughly the order you’ll want them |
| 11:00 AM | A quick county hop; as each item leaves the truck the lead ticks it off the sheet |
| 12:00 PM | Down go the beds and big case goods, then the cartons head to whatever rooms you tagged |
| 2:00 PM | One more walk of both homes, the count reconciled, runners up, signature done |
Reserve a crew any day, weekends included, by calling (888) 711-4778.
