What our customers are saying
A lot of moving companies treat small jobs like an afterthought — big minimums, slow callbacks, or quotes that don't make sense for a studio or a few rooms of furniture. We don't. Small moves are a real part of what we do, and we price them fairly with a short minimum so you're not paying house-sized rates for an apartment-sized move. Whether it's a studio, a partial move, or just clearing out a few rooms, we show up ready and get it done.
What counts as a small move
Small moves cover studios and one-bedrooms, partial moves where you only need certain rooms relocated, dorm and student moves, and jobs that are just a handful of furniture pieces and boxes. If your move would take a two-person crew only a couple of hours, it's a small move — and it's a great fit for our hourly pricing and short minimum.
Fair pricing, short minimum
We bill small moves hourly, with a two-hour minimum that covers the crew's trip out. For a studio or small load, that often means your whole move lands in the $250–$450 range. Because the clock is what drives the cost, being packed and ready when we arrive is the single best way to keep a small move cheap — and we'll tell you exactly how to prep.
Quick, careful, no upselling
A small move shouldn't come with a hard sell for services you don't need. We bring the same care to a studio that we bring to a five-bedroom — wrapping furniture, protecting floors and doorways — just faster, because there's less of it. No pressure to add packing or extras you didn't ask for.
Perfect for apartments, students, and partial moves
Austin has a lot of apartments, students, and people moving just part of a household — a parent's furniture, a home office, a single room. Small moves are built for exactly these situations. If you're not sure whether your move counts as small, just tell us what you've got and we'll quote it honestly.
