Stan and Alex were great! I would definitely recommend them to anyone moving!
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.

What Sets Us Apart
Local expertise - Houston ⇆ New York City and surrounding areas
We regularly drive on major highways such as I-10, I-45, and I-95, which allows us to plan trips efficiently and avoid congestion. We know Houston and its suburbs well and are accustomed to New York City's strict parking and permit regulations. We take care of all the details ourselves, whether it's getting a street parking permit in a Manhattan high-rise or arranging elevator access in a Brooklyn apartment building. Also, we are not limited to New York City, but can also organize your move to nearby New Jersey or Connecticut.
Professional Movers
Our team is made up of true professionals for whom long distance moves are commonplace. Each team is headed by a professional with at least three years of experience. He is assisted by movers who have undergone the necessary training and can help to disassemble or assemble furniture, carefully pack fragile things. Our trucks are equipped with special equipment that guarantees the safety of your large-sized or especially valuable items.
Personalized Approach
We start with a pre-move consultation to analyze your inventory, timeline, and any special requests such as overnight storage, packing, or handling fragile items. Once we determine the best crew and materials needed, we will schedule the move at a time that is convenient for you. Every detail is arranged in advance so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
We take into account special requests: do you need several stops, movers transporting only furniture, or do you want to share the move with someone to save money? No problem!
Transparent flat rate prices
Let us tell you right away that basic insurance is included in the price of every move we make. You don't have to pay extra for it. We always have a flat rate; we don't charge extra for extra flights of stairs or distance of the front door from the parking lot. The only exception is for highly specialized or heavy items such as home exercise equipment, piano or heavy appliances.
We also ask for a deposit to place your order, it is fully refundable. If you cancel your order at least 2 weeks in advance - you will get your deposit back.
About New York City
New York is full of iconic places such as Times Square, Central Park and the Empire State Building. New York is a very wealthy city and is home to many top companies. The New York lifestyle will give you a unique cultural experience in any of the boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn or Staten Island.
If you want less of the hustle and bustle of a major city, you can settle near New Jersey, such as Hoboken or Westchester/Long Island. From there, it's easy to get to New York City by public transportation. The main problem would be traffic. Traffic jams on I-495 or I-278 are common. Also NYC has a high cost of living, Houston will be noticeably cheaper.

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.
