Before you leave or arrive
Many interstate moves here are tied to work. The Woodlands hosts major corporate offices, including Chevron Phillips Chemical, which bought a six-story building at 9500 Lakeside Boulevard for its headquarters, along with Huntsman and Occidental. Healthcare accounts for nearly a third of local jobs, with Texas Children's, Methodist and MD Anderson facilities in the area, and life sciences companies have been recruited from California. If an employer is setting your start date, we build the packing and loading schedule backward from it.
Arriving from out of state? Your new home sits under The Woodlands Township, not a city. For resale homes, trash and recycling service through Waste Management transfers automatically at closing and is paid through property taxes, while new construction needs carts ordered from Waste Management. Covenants are administered by the Township, and projects such as pools, additions and tree removal need approval. It is worth reading the standards before you plan a new shed or play set for the backyard.
Leaving The Woodlands takes some planning on the disposal side. Garage and estate sales are prohibited under Township standards, though online sales are allowed, so start selling large items weeks before your pack date. Usable furniture can be donated, and many charities offer free pickup. Anything else too big for a cart goes out as a scheduled bulky collection. Paring down before an interstate move means fewer boxes to pack and a faster unload at the other end.
Start online sales of furniture early, since Township rules do not allow driveway garage sales before you leave.Ask for a virtual walkthrough if your Woodlands home is large; it helps us build an accurate flat-rate quote.Book three or more weeks out if your departure falls near a holiday weekend or in the May through August peak.Arriving from another state?

FAQ's
What people ask before a long-distance move to or from The Woodlands.
Tera Moving handles long-distance moves anywhere in the continental U.S. from The Woodlands and the rest of greater Houston. Most jobs are dedicated single-truck moves, so your load stays on one truck with one crew instead of being consolidated with other shipments or transferred at a hub.
You receive a flat rate that locks in once confirmed, with a 15% deposit. Stairs and long carries are not extra. Oversized specialty items such as a gun safe, piano or home gym may carry a small handling fee, and it is always spelled out in the quote.
Yes. Storage is available overnight, week to week or month to month. That helps when a Woodlands home sale closes before the new place is ready, or when an incoming family arrives before their own closing date.
The Woodlands is a master-planned community of eight residential villages governed by The Woodlands Township rather than a city. Most of it is in Montgomery County, with Creekside Park extending into Harris County. Township deed restrictions cover items like vehicle parking, trash cart storage and exterior changes, so review them early.
Yes, through our partner RunBuggyOne, which ships vehicles door to door anywhere in the U.S. It lets you fly to your new city or drive one car while the other is delivered separately, without adding a second driver to the trip.
