We're in the process of selling my wife's house, and need to move some of the furniture to storage while our new house is being built. Move is local, from Castlegate to the storage facility on Southwest and Earl Rudder.

Oddly, I couldn't find movers listed in Best of the Brazos.

Any recommendations?

G & M Haulers. Used them twice and they are the best!
We’ve never lost a halftime...

There's one definite "stay away from" mover in town. Do a search and you'll find numerous warnings. And same search will show you G&M and Little Guys are great movers with high recommendations.

I've used G&M twice in the last 8 years and would use them again.

Just came here to say I used G&M in February and they did a great job for a reasonable price. I also used them 5 years ago when I moved and it seems they have stayed consistently reliable.

G&M.
Used two others in town that I can't say nice things about without being moderated.

How dare you post facts and truth based on past personal experience!

Waiting for that one moving company owner to pop into this thread, and accuse negative posters of being his competition.
We used them. Once. Used a different guy that was recommended by a family member. Won't use them again.

If we have to move again, I'm just going to abandon my house and contents like they do in Japan.

I think he finally quit doing that because people brought receipts when replying to him.

Don't use D&D. Guys took a break as soon as they arrived at 9 in the morning. And only 1 of the 2 guys worked at any given moment while they took turns resting.

I basically sent them home and made due since they weren't any faster than me doing it alone and I didn't have to continue paying the hourly rate.

I wish I could recall who helped me move into the first house when arriving in College Station, they were a few college kids and did amazing work. I hate we didn't save their information.

D&D can make a 2 hr move turn into a 9 hr day. They're amazing at this.

There's some pretty epic threads in the TexAgs archives (tm) on them.

I wanted to use G&M but they were booked.

Went with Sarge. Do not recommend. They damaged multiple pieces of furniture.

I looked at old threads a couple of years ago, to decide who to hire. I saw pos and neg comments about them all.

I went with Crossroads Movers. I have used them 4x now in the past two years. That is who I would recommend.

I'll save you the effort of searching. D&D sucks. I used them once. Crew showed up late and one was hungover. Puked in my driveway. Broke numerous items and tried to hide damage. Owner refused to call me back for days until I sent an email mentioning their TexAgs sponsorship. And even then, he was an *******. I'd rather trust random transients on a corner in Austin to move my belongings than deal with D&D.

No need to tell me any of this. I had a very similar experience.

Sorry, was referring to saving the OP the effort of searching.

I paid Brazos Moving & Storage to:

- break a mirrored nightstand
- dent my almost-new washer
- punch 2 holes in my brand-new-build-house sheetrock with the SAME REFRIGERATOR

so I would avoid them
