How far ahead should I book movers in San Marcos?

As early as you can for the busy times: the end of any month, summer, and the Texas State move-in and move-out weeks in August, May and December. Outside those times, a week or two is usually plenty. Need it sooner? We do same-day and last-minute moves.

How much do movers cost in San Marcos?

It depends on how much you're moving, the crew size, the distance, stairs, and whether you need packing. The quickest way to know is a free quote: call or text (512) 227-4743 or use the quote form on our website. Ask us about price matching.

What's the best day to move?

If your dates are flexible, mid-week and mid-month dates are usually the easiest to book. Tell us your options and we'll find the best fit.

How do I know a moving company is legit?

Check that it has a TxDMV number (ours is 007203314C), a real local address, a written quote, and recent reviews. Red flags: no license number, a price far below everyone else, or a big cash deposit up front. More in our guide on how to choose a moving company.

Do your movers bring pads and dollies and wrap furniture?

Yes. Our crews bring dollies, furniture pads and straps, and wrap your furniture so it arrives safely.

Do you take apart and put back together beds and furniture?

Yes. Our crews take apart beds, tables and other furniture that needs it, and put them back together at your new place.

Do you help Texas State students?

Yes. We move dorms and apartments all over San Marcos, including second- and third-floor units, and students get a discount with a valid ID. See Texas State student moves.

Do you have storage?

Yes, through our partner Ranch Road Storage in San Marcos. See storage.

Do you move offices and businesses?

Yes. See office and commercial moves.

Can you haul away things I don't want to move?

Yes. See junk removal.

What's the difference between a local and a long-distance move?

A local move stays in San Marcos and the Central Texas area. A long-distance move goes to another Texas city like Dallas, Houston, Waco or Corpus Christi. We do both. See local and long-distance moves.

Is there anything movers won't load?

Yes. Like the big national moving companies, we don't load hazardous materials: gasoline and other fuels, propane tanks and other compressed gas, paint thinner, lighter fluid and other flammable liquids, pool chemicals, fireworks, ammunition, car batteries and fertilizer. Keep cash, jewelry, medicine, important papers and family photos with you. Not sure about something? Just ask.

Should I tip my movers?

Tips are appreciated and go 100% to your crew. Cash works, or ask the office about other ways to tip.

How can I pay?

Cash, credit or debit card, Venmo, Apple Pay, Zelle, PayPal and Cash App.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Sí, hablamos español. Spanish-speaking staff are available at all times.
