Dallas Area Apartment Moves
Apartment moves have their own unique challenges. From managing several flights of stairs or elevators, to narrow hallways, to limited parking space, these challenges could throw a wrench in your plans. That’s why it’s important to work with a moving company with years of experience handling apartment moves. Longhorn Moving has been handling apartment moves in East Texas for over 25 years and our movers are trained to handle all the potential apartment moving pitfalls.
Benefits of Working With A Trusted Apartment Moving Company
We’ve Done It Before
Nothing about your apartment move will surprise us. We’ve seen it all and have learned how to overcome the challenges of apartment moves.
We Save You Time and Money
Nothing is worse than a moving company showing up unprepared to navigate apartment stairs or hallways. These mistakes could cost you invaluable time, perhaps even causing to reschedule your move. You may also be charged for the extra hours the company did not plan for.
We Treat Our Community Like Family
Unlike national moving companies, Longhorn has kept a small business approach to business. Simply put, our customers are our family and we take great pride in our service to you.
Moving during time of low demand and high availability can save you money. Summer and Spring are peak moving season, while Fall and Winter provide an opportunity for cost savings. Additionally, weekday moves typically provide greater opportunity for deals with moving companies than weekends.

Key Things To Consider Before Your Apartment Move
Apartment moving adds a layer of complexity to any move, and you have a lot on your mind. Longhorn doesn’t just want to help you move your things from one place to the next, we want to go the extra mile to make sure your overall experience is as stress-free as possible. Below we have outlined some important things for you to consider before your apartment move. Not all of it relates to what a moving company can do, but we are more than a moving company. We are your moving partner.
Pack What You Can In Advance
In most cases, a significant number of items can be packed in advance of your move. Things like pictures, decorations, clothing, and other items that aren’t required for use on a daily basis can be packed ahead of time. This will save you a lot of time in the days before your move and on moving day. It will help you avoid the frantic rush of forgetting to pack certain things, and it will also give you an idea of the amount of packing materials you need for the whole move. You may be surprised to find out how fast packing tape runs out, or how many boxes you actually need.

Give Your Current Landlord Enough Notice
Hopefully you have a good relationship with your landlord and he or she is cooperative with your decision to move. But if you don’t, or if they are not the easiest person to deal with, the last thing you want is for them to be a hinderance on your moving day. Giving your landlord an advance notice of your decision allows them to plan accordingly. It also offers them an opportunity to go over any requirements you may have agreed to should you move out. Cleaning the apartment, repainting the walls, returning the keys, and fixing damage inside the apartment are just a few examples of things that you may be liable for. You don’t want a last minute notice to comply or a fine, so don’t give your landlord a last minute notice of your move.

Speaking Of Cleaning.....
It will take more time than you think. Even if you’re a very clean person, when you start moving furniture you’re bound to realize there is more to be done than you thought. Not only that, the process of packing creates messes in and of itself, so plan to clean in stages so you don’t have to do it all at once. Work on things that won’t get cluttered during the packing process, like the fridge, oven, microwave, and windows. If you have a deck or patio, don’t forget that it is also a part of your apartment and will need to be cleaned up just like the inside.

Schedule Shutoff Of Your Utilities
This is the one that gets forgotten about most often. With all the things on your mind ahead of your move, you may not remember that your water, electric, gas, and internet services are all tied to your current address and will need to be canceled or transferred to your new location. This can be a costly mistake, because you may be on the hook for the next month’s service after you move if you don’t provide advanced notice to the providers before you move.

Consider If You Can Sell Or Donate Items
Most people accumulate items they no longer need or use over time. It doesn’t make you a hoarder....or maybe in some cases it does.....but moving is the perfect time to go through your apartment and determine what really needs to make the trip to the new home and what could be sold or donated. Not only could you make some extra cash or help others in need, you could significantly reduce the work and effort put into moving by eliminating items that will end up in permanent storage at your new home.
