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.

With years of experience, we know how to plan the best route—most moves from Philly to Houston take just two or three days. Whether you're moving to downtown Houston, The Heights, or one of the suburbs, we’ll make it simple. Moving from Houston back to Philadelphia? We handle that too.

Skilled Movers from Philadelphia to Houston

We Know the Areas – Philadelphia ⇆ Houston and Nearby Cities

Our team often drives major routes like I-76, I-70, and I-10. This helps us plan fast and smooth trips while avoiding heavy traffic. We know how to handle city rules in both Philadelphia and Houston. Need a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for your building in Philly or a parking permit for your place in Houston? We’ve got it covered.

We also move people in nearby towns—not just Philly and Houston. From Cherry Hill or King of Prussia in Pennsylvania to Katy, Sugar Land, or The Woodlands in Texas, our crew is ready to help.

Our Moving Team

Every move has a lead mover with at least three years of long-distance experience. All workers are background-checked, trained, and know how to load and unload safely. We also use modern tools to move big or breakable items. Our trucks have everything needed to keep your things protected, including padding and special equipment.

Moving Options That Fit Your Needs

Before your move, we’ll talk with you about what you’re bringing, whether packing or overnight storage is needed, and if there are any special items. Then, we’ll pick the right number of movers and bring the right tools. You can also choose extra services—like moving only your furniture or sharing a truck to lower costs.

Flat-Rate Pricing You Can Count On

We charge one flat rate, so the price stays the same—even if there are stairs or a short extra stop. The only extra cost is for very large or hard-to-move items like pianos or commercial machines. To book your move, we ask for a deposit. You can cancel up to two weeks before your move and get your money back. Check out our pricing for more info.

💡 Moving Tip: If you’re moving into an apartment or gated community in Houston, it’s smart to ask in advance about loading areas or elevator bookings—this helps things go faster.

Getting to Know Houston 🌇

Houston is a large and exciting city with a strong job market, especially in the energy and tech fields. It also has great food and fun places like the Museum District, Space Center Houston, and the Houston Zoo. For going out at night, try Midtown or Washington Avenue for music and drinks.

Of course, Houston has its challenges too. The weather is hot, traffic can build up on I-45 and the 610 Loop, and the city is spread out. But housing is cheaper than in many cities, and there’s no state income tax. Places like The Woodlands, Cypress, and Pearland give you more space and good schools while staying close to the city.

Plan and Customize Your Move

We develop a customized long-distance moving plan and determine the timing of the move. At this stage you need to decide whether you are doing the packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If you need additional services or special pricing, we'll find out during the call.

Loading and Transportation

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Philadelphia. If a packing service has been arranged, we carry out the packing on the same day or a day or several days in advance of the move. We load all the things into the truck, wrapping and disassembling the furniture beforehand. The presence of the customer during this process is highly desirable.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in Houston, TX or make a stop at the storage, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, leave them in the pre-agreed locations and collect the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.

Post-Move Support

Afterward, we are available to provide counseling and help with any questions you may have after the move. If you find your belongings missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We will solve everything!

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to Houston with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more!

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you.

Many people say yes—and for good reason. Houston is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. thanks to its strong job market, lower cost of living compared to cities like Philadelphia or New York, and no state income tax. It’s home to major industries like energy, healthcare, aerospace, and tech. Plus, the city is known for its diverse culture, great food, and endless entertainment options.

On the flip side, Houston is large and spread out, which means you’ll likely need a car. Summers are very hot and humid, and traffic can be heavy at times. But for many, the lower housing costs and career opportunities make it worth it.

This depends on your lifestyle, but a general rule is:
  • For a single person: Around $50,000–$60,000/year is enough to live comfortably, including rent, groceries, and basic expenses.
  • For a family of four: A combined income of $85,000–$100,000/year can offer a stable life, including rent or mortgage, utilities, transportation, and family activities.
Housing is the biggest factor. Rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in Houston averages around $1,200/month, but prices vary depending on the area. Neighborhoods like The Heights or Montrose are more expensive, while areas like Pasadena or Alief offer lower prices.

The middle of the week were your most favorable moving day, as most people move on the weekend. We also advise you to book your move at least a week in advance.
