How much does an apartment move cost in Austin?

Most apartment moves in Austin start at $350 for a studio or one-bedroom. Pricing depends on distance, floor level, and furniture volume. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing.

Do you handle stairs and elevators?

Yes. Our crews are equipped for walk-ups, elevators, narrow stairwells, and tight corners. We bring floor runners, door frame protectors, and furniture pads to prevent damage.

Can you coordinate with my apartment complex?

We routinely coordinate with building management on elevator reservations, loading dock access, parking permits, and move-in/move-out windows.

How long does an apartment move take?

A typical one-bedroom takes 2-3 hours. Studios are often done in under 2 hours. We give you a time estimate with your quote.

Do I need to pack everything myself?

You can, but you don't have to. We offer full packing services with boxes, tape, and materials. Or pack yourself and we load, transport, and unload.

Intro

What is included

What Apartment Moving Includes

Full-Service Apartment Relocation — From Packing to Setup

Apartment moves require a different approach than house moves. Tight corners, shared spaces, move-in/move-out windows, and building rules all add complexity. Our apartment moving crews are trained to work efficiently in confined spaces, protect walls and floors with padding and runners, and coordinate with building management on elevator reservations and loading dock access. We handle everything — disassembly, packing, transport, reassembly, and placement — so you can focus on settling into your new place.

We move:

Bedroom furniture and mattresses
Living room and entertainment sets
Kitchen appliances and dishware
Closet and wardrobe contents
Home office equipment
Bikes, sporting goods, and storage items
Fragile items and wall art

* Every apartment move includes floor and wall protection, furniture padding, and a dedicated crew leader.
