What makes a Katy move harder
46.4% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 2.36.
Tell the mover about access before the quote. The access problem these reviews name most is stairs and walk-ups. Put that constraint in writing with the address details you already know, so the quote prices the real carry. Then read how to read a moving estimate and check each line against what you described.
