Elvin and his team moved us from the Houston area to the Dallas area. They were timely and professional throughout the process. They wrapped and protected our furniture better than movers I’ve used in the past. Highly recommend WellKnown Moving Company.
I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived early, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Located in central Texas, Austin is known as the "World Capital of Live Music." This city is characterized by rapid development, which makes it a well-known place for possible relocation.

I moved from Houston to San Antonio and it was a good move. They delivered everything safely and on time. Would recommend them.
Great experience today with Stan and the crew. They took great care of my stuff and managed to get everything from Dallas to Houston same day. 5 stars easy recommendation.
Alex and his team did a great job of moving us from one house to another, and also stopping to pick up stuff from a storage unit. They were efficient, and wrapped all the furniture to where we were not worried about it getting damaged. I will definitely use them again soon!
Stan and Alex were great! I would definitely recommend them to anyone moving!
These guys were the best! Elvin and his team were well prepared. We had a move from Houston to San Antonio and they came with an extra truck to make sure everything would all fit. They were very thorough and careful with our furniture, antiques and large terrarium. Also, were in great spirits the whole time! Highly recommend.
On time, very courteous and good service.
I had a great experience with WellKnown Moving Company! Stan and Alex were fantastic. They were professional, efficient, and handled all of my furniture and boxes with great care. They worked quickly while making sure everything was protected, and the entire move went smoothly from start to finish. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and they definitely made moving day much less stressful. I will 100% use them again and highly recommend Stan and Alex to anyone looking for reliable movers.
Stan and his team were a great help on our move from Houston to Dallas. They arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently and really reduced the stress of moving.

What day is the cheapest to hire movers?
The middle of the week was your most favorite moving day to move from Houston to Austin, as most people move on the weekend. We also advise you to book your move at least a week in advance.
Is it cheaper to use a moving company?
To put it bluntly, no. Of course, moving with your own hands from Houston to Austin may be cheaper. But be aware of the risks. Damaging expensive items will be more expensive than working with movers. Professional movers significantly reduce the risks, and also offer insurance.
Why is hiring movers so expensive?
That's because our services include everything you need to move. We pay for the truck, gasoline, labor, necessary tools, etc. You don't have to worry about anything!
How far in advance should I hire movers?
We recommend doing this 2 weeks before the move. The sooner the better, because this way you will be able to stake out the most convenient time for moving and the price will be the most favorable.
