FAQ

Residential moving questions

How much does it cost to move a 2-bedroom apartment in Austin?

Most 2-bedroom apartment moves take 4–6 hours with 2 movers. Stairs, elevators, parking and packing change the time, so we give every move a free, no-obligation quote.

How many movers do I need?

2 movers for up to a 2-bedroom apartment, 3 movers for 3-bedroom apartments and most houses, and 4 movers with a second truck for 4+ bedroom homes. If 2 movers would need 7+ hours, we'll suggest adding a 3rd.

Do you take apart and put back together furniture?

Yes. Beds, desks, couches, cabinets and shelves are included in your moving time. If something is too complex for a moving crew, we'll tell you before moving day so you can line up a handyman.

Will you hang my TV in the new place?

We take down TVs and art and move them safely, but we don't remount them.

Should I reserve the elevator or loading dock?

Yes, if your building has one. Reserving it for your move time saves waiting, and since you pay by the hour, it saves you money.
