Elvin, Eugene, and Alex were a great team. They did our entire move from Houston to Dallas in one day. They were very professional and hard working. All of our belongings, including a piano, made it in great shape because they packed the truck very carefully. Would recommend.
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.

About Dallas, TX
Dallas, North Texas, is an important business center with a fast-growing economy and diverse culture. It has vibrant neighborhoods like Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts, renowned for nightlife, restaurants, and art communities. Nature lovers have fun exploring White Rock Lake, Klyde Warren Park, and the Katy Trail.
Dallas Independent School District offers excellent learning and excellent private schools like The Hockaday School and St. Mark's School of Texas are among the best in the country.
But, like in any large city, Dallas does have its problems. Traffic along I-35E, US-75, and the Dallas North Tollway is heavy at times, especially during heavy rush hours. In addition, home prices have gone up because demand is high, but they are still more affordable than in most other large American cities. According to NeighborhoodScout, Dallas has a total crime index of 3, meaning it is safer than only 3% of U.S. cities.
If you want a less busy lifestyle, look to suburban locations such as Allen, Flower Mound, or Rockwall, which provide roomy homes without losing proximity to the city.

They did such a good job! They were friendly, took great care moving my furniture and were quick as well. Will definitely use them again!
Professional service all the way around. We used them to move an heirloom bedroom set from Houston Tx to Fate Tx. They showed up on time, were very professional and kept me updated on their progress along the way. Once they got to my home, they got it upstairs and set up and cleaned up all the protective wrap before they left. The furniture arrived in perfect condition. I would definitely use them again if needed.
I'm big on great customer service and Elvin, Deny, and Volodymyr did just that! Communication prior to the move to just 30 minutes before the move was straight forward and clear. I knew what to expect. They worked efficiently and smoothly. All of my items were handled and delivered with care.<br>Very smooth moving process. Thank you and will definitely recommend ya'll.
Elvin, Volodymyr, and Denys were AMAZING!!<br><br>They were communicative, on time and beyond efficient. We under anticipated our estimated box count between two locations and they TETRISes the heck out of it all and made it all fit!!! They were respectful and constantly asked how/where we’d need items placed. The disassembly and reassembly of all items needed was done with care and attention. Everything was beyond expectation and we highly recommend this particular crew!<br><br>They were extremely polite and kind throughout the entire process. They even offered to account for things that were not originally included in the original list of inventory.<br><br>This was by far the best moving experience I’ve ever had and would certainly call them again and ask for these specific individuals!
We moved from Houston to Austin. Thanks to Wellknow Moving for moving our furniture and belongings quickly and safely.
By far the best moving crew we’ve ever used. I hope we never move again, but if we do, Well Known will be our first call.
Stan and his team were professional and considerate. Highly recommended!
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.
