General Moving Questions

Yes. We can move you anywhere in the US. For moves to neighboring states - Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico - our rates are competitive and the process is the same as a local move. For longer cross-country moves, we'll be upfront: a national carrier may save you money, and we'll tell you that. If you want 3MM handling your move regardless, call us for a custom proposal. We operate from four Texas locations: Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.

We are always looking for a variety of experts! Our career page will show you our office positions available. If you're looking to be a mover, please understand that we have a wait list of guys wanting to join our team. If you want to get on the list, start by bringing a valid Texas Driver's License to a 3 Men Movers office near you.

You bet we are. You can search 3 Men Movers or any other mover to make sure they're legit here: https://apps.txdmv.gov/apps/mccs/Truckstop/Certificate/Certificate_General_Info.asp

 

All trucks come with standard moving ramps. If you need a liftgate, be sure to request it when you book so we can see what we have available.

You can buy boxes from our office locations, the movers do not have them on the truck so you don't miss out on valuable space for your items. If you want to make it easy, order our packing service and they will bring all the boxes you will need.

Our crews do have EZ pass tags to use when needed, so you can get to where you are going quickly! No extra fees for toll roads – we cover the cost for you!

For speed and efficiency for both the packers and movers, we typically have packers come in the day before the move out and if hiring unpackers, the day after the move. Moving is chaotic enough without adding more people in potentially tight spaces.

We get it, sometimes there is a delay in getting into your new place. The carpet isn't dry, the old owners haven't left yet, closing gets delayed. If an overnight hold is necessary, there is an extra fee. Please call the office for details. If you need to store things for more than one night, let us know as we also have storage options available.

Our standard 24 ft truck fits an average 1,800 sq ft home and comes with a 3-person crew. For homes of 2,400 sq ft or more, our 48 ft Super Size truck comes with 4 movers and is available for moves starting in the Houston area.

Moving mid-week - Monday through Thursday - saves you up to $20/hour compared to weekend rates. On a larger home move, that's a real $80-$120 in savings. You'll also have more crew availability to choose from. If your schedule has flexibility, mid-week is almost always the smarter financial call. Ready to check availability? Book online or use our move calculator to get an estimate for your date.

The best way to help the movers is to have your belongings as ready to be moved as humanly possible, and communicate your needs room by room with our crew leader. Our guys move quickly, so making sure that kids/pets are looked after and safe will be more than enough help

Due to liability issues and space constraints, we ask that you follow the guys in their truck, or lead the way in your personal vehicle

Yes, and they're two of the biggest time-savers you can add to your move. Packing a home yourself can take days or weeks. Our pros do it in a fraction of the time, because it's what they do on thousands of moves every year.

Packing and unpacking are separate services, so you can book one or both. Schedule each one when you book your move:

  • Packing: we pack your home before move day so everything is boxed, labeled and ready to load.
  • Unpacking: after delivery, we unpack your boxes so you can get settled faster.

Who does the work: in Houston, a dedicated packing crew handles packing and unpacking. In Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, your movers are fully trained to pack and move.

We bring all the boxes, tape and protective materials. If you'd rather us use your boxes we can! If we packed you, we'll take the empty boxes with us. You get less downtime, fewer boxes piled in your new place, and more time to get back to living your life.

We offer perhaps the most convenient portable storage option in Texas! For a flat rate, our guys will come and load your stuff into a portable storage moving container, transport it to our secure, climate controlled facilities in Houston, Austin and San Antonio. Call a move expert for details. 

We can handle multiple stops, we just ask that you give us a heads up at the time of booking so that we can factor for it in the quote and notate for our crews. Best way to do this is by booking over the phone with a move expert.

You need an in-home estimate if it is a really big house, an out of state, long-distance move, or if there are special circumstances. Call our move experts for details.
