Austin Movers

Yes. We handle apartment and condo moves throughout Rainey Street, Downtown, and across the metro, including high-rises that require freight-elevator reservations and loading dock windows — we've worked within two-hour dock windows on Rainey Street condo buildings. We pre-coordinate with property management and send proof of insurance automatically. Our crews hold a sub-2% damage claim rate, well below the industry average of 3–5%.

Yes. 3 Men Movers is fully licensed and insured to operate across Texas and has been since 1985. Every crew completes our Perfect Move Certified training before they show up at your door. If your Austin building, HOA, or employer requires proof of insurance before move day, we send it automatically. Verify our credentials: USDOT No. 1914113 at the Texas DMV TruckStop portal.

If you're trying to save on moving costs, the best time to book your movers is between Monday and Thursday. Weekday rates are more budget-friendly because weekends fill up fast and tend to cost more, sometimes up to 11% higher.

Real Example: Moving from a 4-bedroom home located 25–30 miles away? Weekend move: around $2,200 Weekday move: closer to $2,000

From what we've seen, moving a 2,000 sq ft home in the Austin area typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500. The total depends on:

• The distance between the home and the moving truck
• Whether the furniture needs assembly or disassembly
• If the entire home is being moved, or just selected rooms or items
• Total volume of belongings
• If your belongings are packed and ready to be loaded. More ready equals more efficient.

The moving industry has had problems with fly-by-night moving companies. So, as you start researching and shopping for Austin movers, remember to check for the following:

• Check for the basics, like proper Texas DMV licensing and insurance
• Obtain at least 3 in-person or virtual estimates to compare offers
• Read reviews for both 3 Men Movers and other moving companies, using Google, Yelp, and other community-driven platforms
• They have experienced movers and don't use day laborers. We don't use day laborers or anyone who isn't trained on the Perfect Move.
• The move coordinator should have good communication skills and be well-versed in asking you questions about your specific needs
• Ask about the moving company's on-time rate for their movers
• Ask for details on how specialty items are handled and protected

Our Austin movers are all trained in how to properly protect, pack, and label your stuff. Use our guys and gals for as little as 2 hours, or to pack and stage your whole house or apartment. Our packing crews provide the following:

• All proper packing materials - bubble wrap, paper, labels, and pens to protect and identify what the boxes' contents are and where they belong
• Boxes - no additional trips to Home Depot. Pay for the boxes you use and save money and time on trips to the store.
• Full wrapping, protecting, labeling, and staging of your belongings
• Removal of boxes used if you book our packing team to unpack at your new home. No waiting on the garbage guys to pick up the recycling, or needing to take the boxes somewhere yourself.

While 3 Men Movers performs mostly local moving services, we also help perform long-distance relocations. Most Austin moving companies consider a long-distance move to be more than 100 miles.

So when comparing other moving companies, know your needs first. If you need cross-country movers, we're probably not the most competitive. But if you're moving from the greater Austin area to other areas in central Texas, or further south to Houston, we perform hundreds of these types of moves each year.
