Local Moving in Farmers Branch & DFW | Senior Moving Company

Hourly moves throughout Farmers Branch and the DFW metroplex, on Senior Moving Company's own trucks with patient W-2 movers

Ask Brenda Whitfield where this company began and she points to a front desk in North Dallas. For twelve years she greeted visiting movers at a retirement community there, clipboard in hand, watching how they treated the people moving in. Most were decent. A handful were not, and those were the ones who stuck with her, the crews that hurried a frail resident, misplaced a headboard’s hardware, or left a scratch and a tearful family in their wake. By 2013 she was convinced the seniors of Farmers Branch deserved steadier hands, so she recruited movers who shared her patience, hired them as W-2 employees, and opened her own outfit here. Whoever guides your china cabinet through the doorway is whoever places it on the far side, and our calendar leans toward short hops inside the metroplex. A ranch near Valwood Parkway becomes a snug one-bedroom by the grandkids in Plano. A Carrollton split-level gives way to a flat place in Addison. A family inherits the old Preston Hollow house while Mom moves into an assisted-living suite in Las Colinas.

Pricing runs on the clock, and we say the figures plainly well before any handshake. A pair of movers costs $135/hr; a third raises it to $175/hr; a fourth brings it to $225/hr. Every one of those rates already covers the truck, the blankets, the dollies, and the wrap in a single number. There is no fuel line that shows up at checkout, no equipment fee lurking at the foot of the invoice. We send the written estimate before the truck rolls out of the yard, which leaves nothing to surprise you on move day except, perhaps, how quickly it goes.

How a Farmers Branch move day comes together

We plan the day from its endpoint and work backward. The move-in slot or the curb space gets fixed first, and the opening lift falls into place last. Beginning early is a decision, not a default. Late spring through September, a North Texas afternoon parks at 100 and stays put, which is tough on furniture and tougher on an older resident standing in it, so the heaviest pieces go out in the cool of morning, water rides with the crew, and the rhythm carries past the part of the day that would otherwise grind everyone down. A community on Marsh Lane wants its dock slot and elevator pinned down ahead of time. A walk-up by the DART Royal Lane stop earns a scouting visit before the date. Access gets settled before anything else, because a snug ranch hallway burns more clock than a run across I-635, and the clock kept off your bill is what keeps the total honest.

Brookhaven · Yelp
★★★★

“We needed to get Mom out of her Brookhaven two-story and into a single-level patio home, and I was dreading it. The crew took the stairs slow with her hutch and never made her feel rushed. They showed up about half an hour past the window, which threw my morning off a bit, but they called ahead to tell me and made up the time. Would use them again.”

“Brenda walked through Mom's place herself before we ever signed anything, and that put my wife at ease right away. Moving Mom into the retirement community off Mercer Crossing went smooth, the crew had the elevator reserved and everything labeled by room. Honestly the easiest part of a hard month.”

“After Dad passed we had to clear out his house near the Historical Park, and I cannot say enough good things. Tanya and her guys were patient with all of us. They helped us set aside the things going to family, boxed up donations separately, and never made the day feel like a job they wanted to rush through. Took two of my brothers and me a week to even decide what to keep, and they worked around all of it. Five stars and then some.”

Service FAQ

At what moment does the time begin, and at what moment does it end?

The clock opens as our movers reach your entrance and closes when the last carton rests where you indicated. Because the $135/hr pair-of-movers rate already folds in the truck and every standard tool, you will not see blankets, dollies, or fuel itemized as extras afterward.

Will a separate charge appear for the trip across town?

You will find a single flat travel fee on the estimate, covering the truck's run to you and back to the yard, and it is a standard part of how this business works. The leg between your two addresses just adds to the hours, nothing further.

How fast can you get me onto the schedule?

We commonly have room inside a few days, and a lighter load tends to fit the same week. Drop your particulars into the quote form and an honest answer on availability returns inside one business hour.

Are you fine with a community that enforces a strict move-in window and assigns an elevator?

Entirely. Ahead of your date we book the elevator and the parking window with the front desk, submit any certificate of insurance the community asks for, and report in when we arrive. Forward their rules at booking and access is handled in advance, which keeps your paid hours on the move itself rather than on paperwork at the entrance.

What role does North Texas heat play in the schedule?

A leading one. Heavy furniture loads while morning stays cool, water sits in the cab, and the crew keeps a measured pace even as a July afternoon slips past 100. The single exception is a rare ice or sleet event that locks up the metroplex; on a day like that we would rather move your date than send the crew, or your parent, onto the roads.

When You’re Ready, We’ll Put a Price in Writing
