The Cost of Moving Services in Houston, TX
Full-service movers have a higher cost, but they provide a truck, load it with your stuff, drive it to your new home, and unload it for you once there.
Labor-only movers help you load and unload your packed boxes, furniture, and other items, but you're responsible for renting and driving the truck or scheduling storage container pickup and dropoff.
Either way, hiring professional movers is a literal load off your mind and your shoulders.

We were extremely happy with our two movers, Larry and Elton. Both were extremely courteous and they were very careful with our things. They were careful not to bring any dirt into our new home. They were very quiet throughout the move and you barely knew they were there.
Absolutely amazing experience. I am so grateful this was the company I chose. Insightful, respectful, fast, thorough, clear and concise communication, just overall fantastic. Will definitely be using them again
Larry & Elton were great. Very personable and quick! They were on time with a 15 min call beforehand to left me know their eta. Listened to me requests of what stuff was going. I very much appreciate their help today!
Great communication, friendly, quick, cared about doing a great job! Jerome kept in touch with me and maintained patience while waiting for the POD to arrive. The POD arrival was pushed back 3 times, and they still came when it finally was ready to unload. Would recommend them to you
Team was on time, respectful of furniture and all goods. Not prepared for lifting heavier things, should have had belts and should have been better prepared. For their backs as well.
Shawnâs crew did an excellent job. They treated my belongings as their own. They spent extra time getting as much as possible into the pod by rearranging boxes and filling the smallest spaces. They wrapped everything. I am very pleased with the results. I would definitely use them again.
Brandon, Terrance and Alan were superb. I canât imagine that you have a better 3 man crew! Thanks for sending me your A Team! When we encountered some surprise difficulties, they solved the problems by being creative and with a positive attitude. They clearly exceeded my expectations.
Leroy and Edwin at Above the Rest Mover's did an amazing job on our recent move. Extremely hard workers that went above and beyond making sure we were completely packed and the Uhaul was loaded properly. They stayed beyond their allotted time to help us finish the job and were super easy to work with. Don't bother with anyone else, Leroy and his team are who you need for your move.
This team exceeded my expectations. They were professional, great optimistic attitudes. They moved quickly, consistently checked with me to assure everything was being moved, setup properly. I am so grateful for Sean and his team. Thank you. Highly recommend.
The two gentlemen sent to help us load our truck were friendly respectful to both myself and my family!!!! Fast and very hard workers!!!! I had to tell them to take a break! If you are as lucky as we were to get the help from the two gentlemen that helped us, you too will rate them as we did! Can not say enough about those two. Enjoyed the service that they had provided.!!!
Shaun and his crew did an excellent job in loading our moving POD. Not a inch of space was wasted. I was amazed at how much stuff they were able to pack. More than what I expected. Very professional and respectful. Will use only them in the near future.
The first two guys were on time and worked very diligently, very impressed with them. The third guy was there for about 30 minutes at the end, supposedly working with his boss. I paid for three guys for two hours but really did not have all three for the two hours. It is not fair to the two who were there on time and did the job to get paid the same as the third guy.

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Houston
Tip 1: Check Your Moving Route for Construction Zones
The Houston landscape constantly changes, with multiple major roads seemingly always under construction. Map out your moving route to dodge road construction to save money and time on moving day.
Being proactive can substantially reduce frustrations for everyone involved.
Tip 2: Be Prepared for Moving in the Heat
Summer is the busiest (and most expensive) time to move, and the heat doesnât make it any easier. You want to end moving day happily exhausted in your new home â not overheated on the sidewalk. If you have to move in peak season, plan to stay cool by following a few tips:
- Stock a cooler with plenty of water and sports drinks for you, your family, and the movers.
- Keep cool towels on hand to help beat the heat.
- Plan regular shady breaks to prevent heat exhaustion.
Tip 3: Get Early Details About HOA Moving Rules
When moving into communities with HOAs, make sure you're clear on parking and other rules beforehand. Some HOAs cap move-in hours or have strict rules about where to park a moving truck.
Being respectful of the rules early on can help keep the peace, plus youâll avoid fines and that dreaded side-eye from your neighbors.
