RESIDENTIAL
When
you talk about moving, you really mean relocating. It's a process that
usually takes anywhere from 90 to 120 days. If you and your family become
involved in the process, you will find it can be a well organized, efficient
experience. The key is your effort to control each aspect of the relocation.
Moving is not something you can stand back and watch. Nor can it be done
alone. The responsibilities of relocating need to be shared...among you, your
spouse, children, friends, employer, and last but not least, the moving
company you select.
Harris Moving & Storage Co. is an agent of North American Van Lines, one
of this nation's premier transportation companies. We offer our residential
customers a variety of local, intrastate or interstate services - either moving
into the Houston area, or out to anywhere else in the nation or the world.
Our staff is fully versed on customs regulations, import and export
restrictions, and can work with any international carrier to best meet your
needs.
Because we are a family-owned business, we understand the needs of families,
particularly during the stresses that moving entails. If we can't make it
exactly fun, we at least make sure that your move is as quick, effective and
painless as possible.

Packing Is More Than Putting It In A
Box
Packing
is really the foundation of the move. If it isn't done right, things can go
wrong. When you move with Harris, you are guaranteed that the people who do
your packing are trained professionals. Packing is their job, and they take
pride in it. The techniques they use have been proven through years of
experience and successful moves.
The cartons and materials Harris uses are engineered for your contents.
Special cartons and cellular inserts protect your fine china and crystal. A
different carton is designated for books and records. Your clothes will hang
carefully in a wardrobe carton, and mattresses will be kept clean and hold
their shape in specially designed mattress cartons.
Your special items receive special care. Harris will construct crates or
other customized protection to ensure that your possessions have every
possible safeguard for the move.

The Science of Loading a Van
How
your possessions are loaded inside the moving van is just as critical as how
your china is packed. The concept of loading a van can be likened to a bag of
groceries: large heavy items on the bottom, and eggs on top. When you move
with Harris, you will get drivers and helpers whose everyday job is loading
and unloading moving vans--with the right equipment. We'll treat your
mahogany dining room table differently than your workbench in the garage.
With Harris, you know your goods are going to come off the van right because
they were loaded right. Our professionals use clean, high quality pads to
protect every piece of furniture against damage and dirt. With large, heavy
furniture on the bottom and light-weight cartons and items on the top.
Special straps and logistical tracks secure your goods from shifting in the
trailer when the road gets rough. And at Harris, brains count more than
brawn, so we use dollies and ramps so the trips to and from the van are
steady and smooth.
