Our Houston Moving Process

Here’s the sequence we follow on a Houston move, start to finish.

Describe Both Homes

Tell us the size of your home, any stairs or elevators at both ends, and your preferred date. A written quote follows, hourly or flat rate.

Set the Arrival Window

We set the crew’s arrival window and send a moving checklist to keep packing on track.

Load Floor by Floor

The crew works from the top floor down, carrying the heaviest pieces while stairways are clear, then loads the truck in delivery order.

First-Night Setup

Beds and the kitchen table go together first, so the home works on the first night.

How Much Does It Cost to Move in Houston?

For moves within Houston, pick an hourly price or a flat rate. Stair climbs in multi-story homes, waits for a shared dock or elevator, and add-ons like packing or storage account for most of the difference between quotes.

Hourly Rate Moving

Hourly pricing is ideal for most local Houston moves.

Pay based on the time it takes to complete your move.
Time starts when movers arrive and ends when the move is complete, plus fixed travel time.
Most moves require a 3-hour minimum.
Hourly rates vary by season and moving requirements.

Flat Rate Moving

Available for qualifying moves when the scope can be clearly defined in advance.

Pay one agreed price, regardless of moving time.
Pricing is based on the amount you’re moving, distance, and moving requirements.
No additional hourly charges if the move takes longer.
Changes to the agreed list of items or services may affect the price.

Preparing for Your Houston Move

Houston prep has two jobs: securing building access and keeping belongings dry.

Before your scheduled date:

Reserve the loading dock and freight elevator at both buildings.
Clear garages and stair landings in multi-story townhomes.
Let coolers, tents, and outdoor gear dry fully before packing.
Bag anything going into storage in breathable covers, not sealed plastic.
Back up computers and keep chargers in one labeled box.
Pack a bag with medications, documents, and two days of clothes.
Drain the washer hoses and leave the door open so it dries.
Keep towels by the door for wet shoes on rainy days.
Photograph TV and computer wiring before you unplug it.

Houston Moving Questions Answered

Can I book a Houston move during hurricane season?

Yes. The Atlantic season officially spans June through November, and most of those days are ordinary moving days. If a tropical storm or heavy rain is forecast for your date, we’ll work out a new one with you, because Houston streets are designed to hold stormwater when rain overwhelms the drains and can flood quickly.

How do you park the truck at a townhome on a shared drive?

It depends on the layout. Many Houston townhome rows share a private drive, and some sit behind a gate, so a parked truck can block neighbors’ garages. Depending on the space, we park at the street and carry in, or load quickly on the drive, and we’ll need the gate code or an HOA contact before move day.

Does the drive across Houston change the price?

On an hourly move, yes. The clock runs while the loaded truck travels to your new address, so a Kingwood to Meyerland move takes longer than one within the same neighborhood. A flat rate folds that drive into one agreed price, which makes long in-city moves easier to budget.

Can you move our things out while the house is raised or repaired after a flood?

Yes. Many homeowners in flood-prone areas such as Meyerland have raised or rebuilt their houses after storms. We can pack and move your furniture out before the work starts, keep it in storage for as long as the project runs, and deliver it back when the house is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
