The best time to move in Dallas is during the fall (October-November) or winter (January-February) when temperatures are cooler and moving companies are less busy. Summer months (June-August) are the busiest and can be extremely hot in Texas, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees. Moving during off-peak months can save you money and give you more flexibility with scheduling. Allen Moving, Inc. offers moving services year-round throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
You should book your Dallas movers at least 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season (May-September). For weekend moves or end-of-month moves, we recommend booking 4-6 weeks ahead. However, Allen Moving, Inc. can often accommodate last-minute and same-day moves depending on availability. Contact us at 214-536-7154 to check our schedule and secure your preferred moving date.
