Choosing a moving company is like hiring a babysitter for everything you own. You need someone trustworthy, professional, and experienced. So how do you make the right call? Here’s a 1000-word breakdown of what to ask — and why Fast McAllen Movers checks every box.
1. Are You Licensed and Insured?
This is non-negotiable. A legit mover should be registered with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) and carry liability insurance. We are — and we’ll show you proof.
2. What’s Included in the Price?
Don’t just ask, “How much?” Ask what that quote includes:
- Labor?
- Truck and fuel?
- Packing supplies?
- Insurance?
- Stairs or long-carry fees?
We believe in upfront pricing — no surprises, no hidden fees.
3. How Do You Handle Specialty Items?
If you’re moving pianos, antiques, large TVs, or delicate artwork — ask about experience and equipment. We’ve moved everything from heirloom china to commercial safes.
4. Can You Provide References or Reviews?
A great mover has happy clients. Check Google reviews, Facebook, or ask us directly. We’re proud of our 5-star reputation across McAllen and beyond.
5. What Happens If Something Gets Damaged?
We treat your items like our own, but accidents happen. Make sure your movers offer valuation coverage and a clear claims process. We do both.
6. What’s Your Cancellation Policy?
Life happens. Ask how far in advance you need to cancel or reschedule without fees. We offer flexible options — just give us a heads-up.
7. Are Your Crews Background-Checked?
You’re letting strangers into your home. It’s fair to ask. All Fast McAllen Movers team members undergo background checks and training before they ever touch your stuff.
8. How Will You Protect My Home?
Ask about floor runners, door covers, and blanket-wrapping furniture. We come prepared to protect both your items and your space.
9. Will I Get a Written Contract?
ALWAYS. A legit moving company gives you a written agreement — not a handshake. We’ll walk you through every clause.
10. What Makes You Different?
At Fast McAllen Movers, we combine small-town care with big-league professionalism. Our crew is local, responsive, and always ready to go the extra mile.
