Hiring in Texas: license and permit checks
Texas has no general state contractor license. Certain trades require state licenses: electrical, air conditioning and heating through TDLR, and plumbing through the state plumbing board; check the requirements for the work you need.
Ask the provider for the license or registration number if their trade requires one, and ask about insurance. Confirm city or county permits with the local building department and get a written scope of work.

FAQ
What site conditions should I describe after rain?
Describe any standing water and where the ground stays soft. Send current photos rather than assuming the whole property has the same drainage.
Which license and permit checks apply in Texas?
Texas has no general state contractor license. Certain trades require state licenses: electrical, air conditioning and heating through TDLR, and plumbing through the state plumbing board; check the requirements for the work you need. Ask the provider for the license or registration number if their trade requires one, and ask about insurance. Confirm city or county permits with the local building department and get a written scope of work.
What should my moving labor help request in Houston include?
For rental truck loading labor, include: customer-arranged truck size and arrival window; boxes, furniture and heavy item list; stairs, loading distance and supplied equipment. For this location, also describe: photos of standing water or soft ground after rain.
Which places near Houston can ask?
Requests from Katy, Pearland and Humble and nearby Texas communities are welcome. This service is new; provider availability is not guaranteed. If we cannot find a provider for your address, we tell you.
Does this include a moving truck or driver?
No. This niche is labor-only loading and unloading help or moving items within a property. You arrange and drive or separately contract the truck, trailer or container; it is not a truck-and-driver household-goods moving service. Border Quotes only makes referrals.
What equipment and item details should I share?
List heavy, fragile or oversized items, stairs and carrying distances. Ask who supplies dollies, pads and straps, which items are excluded and how damage coverage applies.
Can helpers pack boxes or assemble furniture?
List packing, disassembly and reassembly separately from loading or unloading. Agree these tasks, materials and handling limits directly with the independent provider.
What licensing or registration should I discuss?
Labor-only loading and unloading usually does not need a state trade license. Cities or counties may require local business registration or a permit, and some states register certain businesses. Full-service moving companies may need registration in some states. Ask the provider to confirm requirements for the exact labor-only scope.
