The Blue Ox Moving & Storage Experience
-
Moving Consultation & Moving Estimate In-House or Virtually
A Blue Ox Moving & Storage moving specialist will visit your home or business to gather the clearest picture of your move. We gather all the pertinent details including the size of your home, number of rooms, and any items that will require special care. As we walk through your home, we complete an itemized inventory in our tablets, placing each piece into our system.
They will also explain the moving process and what you should expect. You’ll also have the opportunity to book professional packing and unpacking or storage services should you need them. During your consultation, you will receive an accurate, clear, and concise moving estimate.
-
Scheduling & Preparing
for Your Move
We will then schedule your move date. After this is done, you will begin preparing for your move. We have prepared the Ultimate Moving Checklist, which will help you with all of the tasks that must be handled for your move.
If you need professional packing services, we can schedule one of our professional packers to come out and carefully pack all your belongings before moving. If you decide to handle the packing yourself, Blue Ox Moving & Storage has all the moving supplies you need to get the job done. Two days before your move, you will receive an email reminder and a phone call.
-
Moving Day
Our friendly expert movers will arrive on time to greet you on the day of your move. Our team lead will introduce himself and tour the home with you and ensure that everything has been included. The team will start by walking you through the process and answering any questions you have about our services.
Neoprene floor runners are laid down and door covers are used to protect the high traffic areas in your home or business during the move. Our movers will protect your furniture pieces, disassembling them as needed. They will then carefully load them into the Blue Ox Moving & Storage truck and deliver them to your new home. If you’ve chosen full unpacking services, the packing team will arrive the day after the move to help you unpack and settle into your new space.
-
Settling into Your New Home
Once we reach your new home, our team will unload your belongings, placing them in the appropriate room. Have your inventory list available at this time to ensure that everything is accounted for. If you’ve chosen a full-unpacking service, the day after your move your packing professional will arrive to help you unpack and settle into your home.
Once settled, we are here to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have. You will receive a survey the day after your move. We ask that you complete this so that we can ensure your satisfaction.
Blue Ox Moving & Storage proudly serves Houston and the surrounding communities. We are committed to providing smooth and successful moves. We are licensed and insured and have experienced movers to efficiently handle your moving, packing, and storage needs. We invite you to request a complimentary estimate today.

"Blue Ox movers were excellent in every area of the move, from the initial estimate, all the way thru the final move 5 months later. I had a HUGE house and 2 storage units and they packed and moved me in 4 days. The guys were very professional and we could not be happier with Staci and Blue Ox.

"I would recommend Blue Ox to anyone planning a move. We had four guys and two trucks, they showed up on time and had us moved in and out in one day. We lived in a two story house and had several large pieces of furniture that were very difficult to bring downstairs and then take upstairs in the new house, they worked hard to get that done. Overall I am very satisfied with the job."

"My awesome Husband decided to make an executive decision to use a moving company because we were just spent from preparing to list & sell our Cypress Texas home and move to Montgomery. Blue Ox - What an absolutely amazing experience. I normally like to move my own stuff because of moving horror stories and a bad experience myself. This company?...won't even be close to an 'okay' experience. It's easy peasy pumpkin spice awesome! And the price?? worth every penny. Love y'all @ Blue Ox, especially you James"
