Moving into Bunker Hill for Frostwood or Bunker Hill Elementary, out to a smaller place nearby, or into a rental while your lot is rebuilt? Our local crews work by the hour and plan each move around the village's quiet streets.
Local moves made easy
Short moves, local streets
Most local moves we do in Bunker Hill start or end within a few miles: a neighboring village, Memorial City, Spring Branch or a home just across the Katy Freeway. Because Bunker Hill is its own city, start-of-service tasks differ from Houston's. Water and sewer accounts are handled through the city, which offers a Move In / Move Out service account change, and trash and recycling go through the city's contracted hauler rather than Houston's Solid Waste Department.
Streets inside the village are residential and tree-lined, and Memorial Drive stays two lanes until it widens at the city's western edge near Gessner Road. A full-size truck needs a plan, so we look at your driveway, any gates and overhanging branches on the estimate call. The city's FAQ calls out vehicles parked on sidewalks and trails, and our crews stay off both. Memorial Middle School serves the western part of the village and Spring Branch Middle the eastern part, so weekday arrival times shift with the address.
For local moves into a newly built Bunker Hill home, keep in mind that permitted construction can run from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. If the builder still has trades on site, we coordinate so our crew and theirs are not both trying to use the driveway at once, and we lay floor protection over fresh finishes.
FAQ's
Questions Bunker Hill Village residents ask about local moves.
We recommend at least one week. Summer months and the last weekend of each month are the busiest, so plan earlier for those. We can sometimes handle last-minute moves, and holiday weekends should be booked three or more weeks in advance.
We have not found a Bunker Hill rule requiring a permit for an ordinary household move. Permits there cover construction, remodeling, fences, trees and similar work. If you are placing a dumpster or container on the property, call City Hall at 713-467-9762 first.
Yes. We pack and load everything, then hold it in storage overnight, weekly or month to month. When the new Bunker Hill house is finished, we deliver and reassemble furniture in the rooms you choose.
No. Stairs and long carries are not extra on any Tera Moving job. On deep Bunker Hill lots, we may bring an extra mover to keep the move efficient, and we discuss crew size with you during the estimate.
Payment is collected after the post-move walkthrough with your lead mover, once you have checked that everything arrived and is placed where you want it in the new home. We accept cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover, Zelle and Venmo, so you can settle up the way that suits you.
Thank you for considering us for your moving needs. We will get back to you during normal business hours.
