Seriously, it's the best moving company in town! We used them once about 10 years ago and recently used them this month when we downsized from our house to an apartment building. They were easy to reach and speak to online and via text message. Booking is easy and quick, they were able to accommodate us for a last minute move within a week of our closing date. We booked packers for the day before our move, and Elva and her team were fantastic. They arrived on time and quickly moved throughout our house, packaging all our belongings and labeling each box efficiently. They were kind, well-organized, and fast. On a moving day, our 3 movers arrived 15 minutes early to assess our belongings and walk through the house before the move. Miguel and his team were amazing! They were friendly, extremely polite, and respectful. They took care to wrap our TVs carefully and also dismantled and reassembled our furniture for the move. We had to rent storage during the move as we had too much stuff), and they moved out the furniture accordingly without hesitation. They were attentive and mindful and really listened to our personal preferences. I highly recommend 3 Men Movers and will definitely use them again in the future!

I just finished my move with Robert Chacon and his team. Fantastic and excellent service from start to finish! I was worried at first, considering I have many fragile white pieces of furniture, but they were very thorough in double-wrapping all my pieces. Their loading was efficient and very quick. I couldn't speak more highly of their service. For the quality of service I received, the pricing was more than reasonable. I was charged $209 an hour with a flat rate base fee of $125, which I found to be an excellent value for the service provided. I moved from an apartment to a home and moved a few things to storage. With multiple stops, they were able to move everything within the span of less than 3 hours! Very impressed. I would definitely recommend them for a move!

After researching and vetting several moving companies, I'm glad we chose 3 Men Movers. They delivered excellent service at a great value. We needed a same-day pack and move for a 1-bedroom apartment. Dora and her team of packers arrived right on time at 8 AM and packed everything quickly and carefully. Salvador and his crew took over, moving everything efficiently, and were very professional. Norma coordinated the entire process seamlessly, including easy payment through Zelle. Everything was completed around 2 PM without issue. Highly recommended!

Joe and his crew were fantastic. They showed up on time and got busy. They were very careful with my stuff, they were polite and extremely hard working. After packing my house into the truck, they even went and grabbed everything from storage before heading to the new house. I would definitely use these guys again! This was a great crew to work with.
Cynthia Burkett Bates
I only use 3 Men Movers. They always do a super job. They had to haul a large, heavy couch up the outside of our home to get it in the upstairs loft, and they never said a negative comment just got with it and got it done. No scratches, no dents, just perfect work in a fast process. They never stopped, and all of the furniture was oversized and heavy. They brought with them a smile, and they left with a smile!!
Patty Long
We moved over the July 4th weekend and used the supersize truck. Best decision ever!! Alex and his crew were fantastic. Extremely kind and thoughtful. The crew worked fast, loading and wrapping my furniture. Once we arrived at the new house, they were extremely patient with furniture placement - even willing to move some pieces several times. If you have a major move - these are the guys you want responsible for moving your heirlooms and keepsakes. Great experience!
Cindy Shepherd
From the beginning, when we were getting quotes, we first talked with Teresa, who was awesome - very thorough & transparent about their pricing. On a moving day - Noe and his crew were punctual, quick, very thorough, and handled moving our things delicately. We couldn't have asked for better movers. Highly recommend! I can't imagine using anyone else in the future.
Bruce
The Crew I had from 3 Men Movers, including Alex and Nathan, provided service that was beyond the pale. When they arrived, the building hadn't cleared a spot for them to park, so they waited while I reached out to the building to resolve the issue and did not start the "clock" until they checked in with me in person. They were quick, efficient, and careful throughout the move. Unpacking the truck was planned, fast, and always with my end goal in mind. Alex was always adjusting the plan to unpack based on my needs and frequently checked in with me when he had questions. The entire crew was friendly and personable, but Alex was the spark that made this experience above the 5-star rating allowed. His insight, used because of 9 years with the company, was, without question, the final piece that placed this group and company over the top. Based on my experience, I would certainly choose this company, and specifically this crew, again.

Your Moving Questions, Answered
How much do movers cost in Houston?
At 3 Men Movers, we believe in transparency from start to finish. Our rates range from $189/hour (Monday–Thursday) to $209/hour (Friday–Sunday) for a professional three-men moving crew.
For moves within Houston metro area, you can expect to pay between $450 and $2,000, depending on the size of your home and the distance to your new location. We also handle long distance moves with the same commitment to clear pricing and exceptional service.
No surprise fees—ever. We don't charge extra for stairs or heavy items. Our flat travel fee covers the crew’s travel to your starting location and from your final destination—so you know all costs upfront. Plus, we provide essentials like wardrobe boxes to keep your clothes organized and protected during the move.
Hidden costs? Not with us. The only charges you’ll see are the hourly rate and the one-time travel fee. That’s it. And if you have questions along the way, our knowledgeable staff is always ready to help make your move smooth and stress-free.
What day is cheapest to hire movers?
If you're looking to cut moving costs, the most budget-friendly days to hire movers are Monday through Thursday. Rates are lower during the week because weekends tend to be in higher demand, driving prices up by as much as 11%.
For example, moving from a 4-bedroom home located 25–30 miles away could cost around $2,200 on a weekend, but closer to $2,000 on a weekday—a noticeable difference when you're budgeting for a big move.
Is it cheaper to hire movers or do it yourself?
For smaller moves, DIY can be cheaper. U-Haul’s daily rental rates start at $19.95 for pickup trucks and cargo vans, $29.95 for 10- and 15-foot trucks, and $39.95 for 20- and 26-foot trucks. Keep in mind, there are per-mile charges ranging from $0.59 to $0.99, depending on the vehicle size and location. If you have some spare time and don’t mind doing the work yourself, this can be a budget-friendly option—especially for students or new residents at Texas State looking to save during a short-distance move.
However, for larger moves, hiring professional movers may actually be more cost-effective. With hourly rates between $189 and $209, movers handle all the heavy lifting, logistics, and time-consuming details. You also avoid additional expenses like renting equipment or paying for extra help.
In the end, professional movers can save you time, stress, and even money, making them well worth the investment for a smooth moving experience.
Is $100 a good tip for movers?
In Houston, average tips vary by move type: $69 for standard moves and up to $149 for large, heavy-item moves. For most jobs, tipping between $70 and $150 total is typical and appreciated.
How much does it cost to move a 2000 sq ft house?
Based on our experience, moving a 2,000 sq ft home typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500. The final price depends on several factors, including the distance from the door to the truck, whether movers need to assemble or disassemble furniture, the amount of heavy items, and the overall volume of belongings

How We Support the Houston Community
Donating Our MOVITS Portable Storage to Habitat for Humanity
In February of 2015, we donated one of our smaller MOVITS to Habitat for Humanity in Houston! Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that builds houses for people in need. With more than 1,400 local affiliates around the country, they have helped build and repair more than 800,000 houses! More than 1 million people volunteer each year to help build homes, so we are very proud to have donated one of our MOVITS to this great organization.

Superhero 5K benefiting Keep Kids Connected
On September 22, 2014, a few members of the 3 Men Movers family got together bright and early to participate in the Superhero 5K benefiting Keep Kids Connected! Keep Kids Connected was created to help keep kids connected to their family and friends while they are undergoing treatment for cancer or other life-threatening illnesses.
The organization was inspired by Caitlyn Mortus who is, herself, a cancer survivor. Her wish is that every kid battling cancer or any life-threatening illness be given a computer so they can stay connected to their family and friends while they go through their treatments. We had a blast taking part in such an inspiring organization!
Delivering Donated Bikes to Over 20,000 Children in Houston
3 Men Movers executive team, office staff, and movers volunteered their time on December 12, 2013, to partner with the Elves and more organization for the 9th year in a row. Bikes and toys were donated and delivered with the help of the volunteers to over 20,000 children in the Houston community.
The volunteers of 3 Men Movers worked alongside Elves & More volunteers to load donated bikes and toys onto 3 Men Movers trucks to be delivered to local schools in the Houston community. In order to get a bike, each child met certain criteria throughout the year, such as good grades, positive behavior or attendance to qualify for the gifts. The staff always looks forward to volunteering each year to bring smiles to the faces of deserving children throughout the city.
Box Recycling Program
Demonstrating their continued commitment to providing helpful services and environmental stewardship, 3 Men Movers conducted a box recycling program in May 2013. Box recycling services were offered not just to customers but the entire Houston community free of charge. Though this program is no longer active, 3 Men Movers remains environmentally conscious through an internal recycling program for employees at the Houston office.
