What this calculator does—and doesn't—do
It gives a planning range based on typical crew sizes and hours for each home size, plus mileage for moves elsewhere in Texas and common add-ons. It's a starting point for your budget, not a binding quote.
What makes a real quote different
Your written proposal accounts for what a calculator can't see: stairs and elevators, the distance from the truck to the door, how much is packed, large or fragile items and your date. See how moving quotes work in Texas.
Ways to keep costs down
- Declutter before the move—less to pack and carry
- Pack non-fragile rooms yourself and leave the kitchen to the crew
- Have everything packed and ready before the crew arrives
- Reserve elevators and parking so no time is lost on the day
- Choose a mid-month, mid-week date if you have flexibility
