01 Overview

Moving Houses, Not Just Boxes

A house move is different from a quick load-and-go, and Space City Movers treats it that way. Since 2012 we’ve moved families across Greater Houston — out of brick ranches in Crosby, two-story homes in Atascocita, new builds in the petrochemical subdivisions of Mont Belvieu, and acreage places around Dayton with a shop out back. Every one gets a flat written price and the same uniformed crew on both ends. We own our trucks and we hire our movers; nobody else touches your home.

From Baytown to Kingwood, our Dayton crew turns the whole job into one flat figure before move day and stands behind it, with nothing extra waiting at the end.

Houston-Area Homes Have Their Own Quirks

Around here the housing stock is its own animal. Almost everything sits on a slab with no basement, which keeps the carry clean, but it also means big attached garages stuffed with tools, two-story interiors with tile stairs, and master-planned homes with wide entries and long driveways. Out in Liberty County you add acreage, manufactured homes and outbuildings to the mix. We walk all of it during your estimate — house, garage, shop and shed — so the flat number covers your whole life, not just the living room.

Flood Zones, Raised Homes and the Gulf Calendar

A real Greater Houston mover has to know flood country. Plenty of homes near Lake Houston, the Trinity River and the older Kingwood villages are raised up on piers with exterior stairs to the living level. Our crews, led on the tough stuff by Shawn Kowalski, bring ramps and plan those carries so nothing gets risked on open steps. And because move day in hurricane season can collide with a storm in the Gulf, dispatcher Travis Lange keeps watch and we’ll be honest with you if the weather says wait.

One Flat Price for the Whole House

We don’t run a meter on home moves. After we walk the property you get a single flat figure — and if you’d rather go hourly, two movers and a truck are $185 an hour and three movers and a truck are $255 an hour. A $105 deposit holds the date and comes off the total. Your belongings are covered at the 60-cents-per-pound released-value standard, with full-value protection optional and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment.

  • Whole-home moves for slab, brick, two-story and acreage properties
  • Garages, shops and outbuildings included in the flat price
  • Ramps and planning for raised and flood-zone homes
  • Same crew loads and unloads — our trucks, our people

  • Whole-home moves for brick ranch, two-story and new-build slab homes across Greater Houston
  • Careful handling of big-garage contents, shop tools and acreage outbuildings around Dayton and Liberty County

How we land on the price

It begins with a short walkthrough or video survey, and off your actual inventory we set one flat Greater Houston rate — no hourly meter hiding anywhere inside it. Whatever that quote reads is the whole price, with nothing tacked on once the truck is loaded or a storm slides in off the Gulf and shifts the date.

02 How we protect your move

We treat your things the way we'd want ours treated

Every truck pulls out loaded with pads, shrink film, and floor runners — ready to blanket furniture, keep tile and hardwood clean through a muddy summer downpour, and cushion the breakables, whether it's a brick ranch on slab out in Liberty County, an Atascocita home on Lake Houston, or a high-rise condo downtown with a freight elevator to reserve.

Quilted pads

Dressers, dining tables, and headboards get blanketed right where they sit, padding on long before anything rolls toward the door.

Stretch film

Drawers stay shut and cushions stay clean — wrapped tight so road grime and a damp, humid walk to the truck never reach the fabric.

Floor & doorway guards

Runners rolled out, rails wrapped, jambs padded — first thing we do at both homes, so floors and corners look untouched after the last trip out.

Built-to-fit crating

Right in the room, before anything fragile leaves it, we measure a mirror, glass tabletop, framed canvas, or flat screen corner to corner and build the crate around it for a snug, exact fit.

Break-down & rebuild

Bed frames, dining tables, and sectionals come apart to ride safe, and once they're through the new door our crew puts every one back together.

Straps, dollies & gear

A third-floor walk-up downtown, a long load-out across a flooded yard, or the single heaviest piece in the house — each calls up the right tie-downs and rigging off our truck, and none of it gets left behind.

03 Why us

The name on the door of the truck is the same name at the bottom of your contract

Book Space City Movers and the truck rolling up your driveway is ours, the contract is ours, and the uniformed crew walking your sofa out through the Gulf heat is on our Greater Houston payroll — your move never gets sold off. A broker works the other way around: they auction your job to whoever bids lowest that week, collect their cut, and step out of it for good.

Space City Movers
  • Our trucks, our fleet, and the full-time background-checked movers riding in them are on our own payroll — we never fill out a crew with day labor pulled off a listing site
  • The figure we write down is the figure you pay — set, signed, and accurate to the dollar before the first box gets lifted
  • The same crew end to end, from the first piece out the old door to the last one set down at the new place
  • Texas (TxDMV) household-goods registration, USDOT/MC authority for interstate runs, and every job carried on full insurance with up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage
  • One point of contact at our Dayton office, with you from that first call straight through to the last box carried inside
What a broker does
  • Farms your move out to whatever crew undercuts the rest in the week you happened to call
  • Lets the total drift up once the truck shows, stacked with line items nobody mentioned the day you signed
  • Sends strangers you have never spoken to through your front door, putting your whole household in the hands of a crew you can't vouch for
  • Leaves it a guess whose insurer covers it the day a TV corner catches a doorframe
  • Parks a call center between you and whoever finally shows up to load, so one simple question turns into a runaround

Questions we hear about this service

Our house is in a flood zone and sits raised up on piers — can your crew handle that?
Yes. Raised and elevated homes are common around Lake Houston, Kingwood and the Trinity River, and our crews move them regularly. We bring ramps for the exterior stair flights up to the living level and plan the carry so heavy pieces aren't being muscled down open steps. Shawn Kowalski, who leads our stairs and high-rise work, has done plenty of these.
We have a big rural lot near Dayton with a shop and a couple of outbuildings — is that extra?
Acreage homes are our backyard, literally. The shop, the shed and the garage all get walked during your estimate so they're inside the flat number, not a surprise add-on at the truck. Tools, mowers, shelving and outdoor gear are part of a real home move out here, and we plan the truck space for them up front.
Can you do the whole house, or just the heavy stuff?
Either way. Some families want us to handle everything from the closets to the patio set; others pack their own boxes and hand us the furniture and appliances. We'll scope it however you like during the estimate and the flat price reflects exactly what we're moving.
