Sheri Schrader
Raul and his crew were amazing. They kept me updated on when they would arrive, were courteous, friendly, kind to my belongings, and fast. I would definitely recommend them to help you with your move. They made everything so easy.
Pam
We thoroughly enjoyed having the 3-Men Movers work in our home today! They were awesome from the time they entered until the job was done. They worked constantly, were very professional, were courteous in all they did and very respectful! This was our first time to use the company so we were extremely impressed. I highly recommend the company and especially Robert and Crew to be hired for a moving job. You will be extremely pleased and proud you chose them. Go for the best!!!!!!!
Brittany Bright
The crew was outstanding! Very attentive to our direction and needs. They moved at the speed of light (without causing damage or chaos). They loaded up our home, drove 4hrs to the destination and unloaded all in the same day without a single grunt or complaint. We scheduled it for two days, but they were willing and so were we. I’m so happy we went with 3 Men Movers and this crew did NOT disappoint! I’m thrilled with how everything was executed and will absolutely use them again. Thank you!
Logan Wise
Jose Ovalle and his Crew did such a great Job moving for me! Worth every penny. Very professional, kind and carful with all my things. Special mention to Lilly and Michael for getting me all set up prior to the move.
Bryana Taylor
This was my first ever experience hiring movers. Jose and his crew were punctual, professional and extremely efficient in moving my things to my apartment using their 24ft truck. My unit was on the 3rd floor but they made taking up my mattress, washer, dryer, bike, and dual recliner set look EASY! Their time management was excellent - the job was done in roughly 1hr, 40min. This company has been the go-to movers for my family for years and they’ll continue to be our first choice! Thank you Jose and crew!
Our Residential Moving Process
Pre-Move Communication
Our experts will build out as much detail as you can provide to give our moving crews a rough idea of what they should expect as well as what you should expect. Including:
- A personalized confirmation of details about the rates, the move crew selected and reserved, who will be contacted the day before the move and on move day
- A call or text the day before the move, confirming the move, start time, and an introduction to the crew lead
Crew Arrival And Pre-start Walk Through
The selected crew arrives on time, in uniform, with a clean 3 Men Movers truck and all supplies/tools necessary to do the move. Our crew lead will walk through each room with you to:
- Determine what is being moved
- Note any particular order of rooms being moved
- Check items for pre-existing damages and note
- Check for items that require waiver signatures (washer/dryer disconnect, moving televisions, etc)
- Determine what needs to be disassembled and reassembled during the move
- Confirm the rates and estimate and have you sign the contract
Move Preparation And Protection
Once the crew leader has performed the walk through, then we prep both the house and your belongings to prevent damages and make executing the move easier for the crew, including:
- Protective runners to prevent damage to flooring
- Shrink wrap for furniture fabrics
- Moving blankets to cover hard surfaces and prevent items from rubbing together during transit
- Tools to properly disassemble/reassemble furniture/other items
Execute Loading The Truck
This is where we shine. You’ll appreciate the care, efficiency, and hustle that our movers exhibit throughout your move. Typically one of the three movers is focused on loading the truck itself, while the other 2 movers are focused on bringing belongings from the house to the truck. This accomplishes the following:
- Our movers load the truck in a manner that makes the best use of space, which will both prevent damage and reduce the possibility of a second trip
- A mover in the truck adds a level of security to prevent theft
Second Walk Through
Once we’ve emptied the home of all belongings that will be moved, our movers will perform another walk through with you to determine:
- All of your possessions to be moved are accounted for
- We make sure that we have all of our tools and equipment back on the truck
- If we’re ready to travel to your destination location
Destination Walk Through
When we arrive at your destination, our crew leader will walk with you to determine where your possessions are to be placed and arranged. Then our crew will:
- Begin the process of protecting floors
- Unload your belongings per placement direction
- Reassemble any furniture necessary
- Remove any shrinkwrap or move materials used during the move
Final Walk Through And Completion
Once we’ve finished unloading the truck, we perform one final walk through to make sure:
- Items are placed in rooms and spots per your wishes
- We’ve cleaned up any packing materials used during the move
- We’ve reassembled anything taken apart during the process
- You’re happy with the finished product
After completing the final walk through, our crew leader will stop the clock, provide you the details of total hours worked and the final bill for the services completed. You pay and we all get to relax, knowing that the heavy lifting is done!
If you really want to relax even harder(maybe even party), you can book one of our packing/unpacking service crews, sit back, relax and enjoy your favorite beverage while we give you a full white-glove move experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you're planning to move the contents of a 1500 sq ft home in Texas, the average cost with 3 Men Movers typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,000 for a local move. This includes a team of 4 professional movers, one large truck, all necessary equipment (like blankets and shrink wrap), and no hidden fees — what you see is what you pay.
The final price depends on factors like the number of hours required (on average, 7–9 hours), the distance between locations, and the time of year. Since we bill by the hour with a 2-hour minimum, you only pay for the time you use — in 15-minute increments after the second hour.
If you are referring to physically relocating the entire structure of a house (foundation and all), please note that 3 Men Movers does not provide that service. We specialize in safe, efficient household moves, packing, and storage for your belongings — not structural relocation.

At 3 Men Movers, all moves — even for a single item like a couch — are billed hourly with a 2-hour minimum. That means the typical cost to move just a couch locally starts at approximately $400.
This price includes a 3-person crew, a fully equipped truck, protective materials like shrink wrap and blankets, and handling of stairs or basic disassembly — all at no extra charge. You’re not paying per item, but for professional service by the hour, so whether it’s one couch or an entire room, it’s the same minimum rate.
For quick, one-item moves, we recommend contacting our team to check availability and confirm timing.
For a standard local move, relocating a 4-bedroom house typically takes between 8 to 12 hours, depending on the number of movers, access to the home, and how much packing is already done.
With 3 Men Movers, a reasonable budget for a local move in Texas typically ranges from $400 to over $3,000, depending on the size of your home, how long the move takes, and any extra services you might need — like professional packing, unpacking, or storage.
For example:
-
A small apartment move might cost around $400–$700.
-
A standard 3-bedroom home move usually ranges between $1,200 and $2,000.
-
Larger homes or full-service moves (including packing) can exceed $3,000.
All moves include a 3-person crew, truck, protective equipment, and free shrink wrap — with no hidden fees for stairs, heavy items, or long carries. The company bills hourly with a 2-hour minimum, so your total depends on the time used, billed in 15-minute increments after the second hour.
Fridays, weekends, and the end of the month tend to be the most expensive times to move due to higher demand. To save money, consider scheduling your move mid-week and avoiding peak summer months if possible.

Our Services
Safe Movers
Safes are dense, awkward, and unforgiving on floors and doorways. Our crews are trained and equipped to move safes up to 600 lbs, with the right tools and technique to protect every surface along the way. Safes under 300 lbs move at no extra charge beyond the hourly rate.
Long Distance Movers
Long distance moving across Texas or into a neighboring state comes with more variables than a local move. Our crews manage the full process, from pack to final placement, with the same licensed, background-checked professionals on both ends. One company, one point of contact, start to finish.
Super Size Moves
4 to 5 bedroom home or larger? Our 48-ft Super Size trucks carry twice the load of a standard moving truck, paired with a four-man crew built for large estates and commercial spaces. One trip, less time, lower final cost.
