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.

Experienced Movers for Raleigh to Houston Moves

We Know the Raleigh ⇆ Houston Route and Nearby Areas

Our movers often travel along I-85, I-20, and I-10, so we know how to plan around traffic and time your move right. We understand how things work in both cities—from Raleigh neighborhoods to Houston’s building rules. If you need a freight elevator or a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for your new place in Houston, we’ll take care of it. We don’t just stop in Houston either—we move people to areas like Katy, Pearland, and Sugar Land too.

Skilled Moving Crews

Every move has a crew leader who has done long-distance moves for at least three years. Our team is trained, background-checked, and knows how to load and unload everything safely. We bring the right tools to move big, heavy, or breakable items. Our trucks also come with gear made to protect special items the whole way.

Flexible Moving Services

We’ll contact you before the move to talk about what you’re bringing, what needs to be packed, and any special instructions for their storage and transportation. Based on that, we’ll pick the right team and bring all the equipment needed. You can also ask for extra services—like moving only furniture or using a shared truck to save on cost.

Upfront Flat Rates

We charge a set price for the move. A few extra stairs or a short detour won’t change the cost. The only things that might cost more are very heavy or tricky items like large fridges or pianos. To book your date, we ask for a deposit. If you cancel at least two weeks before your move, we’ll return it. Learn more about our prices here.

💡Moving Tip: In Houston, check with your new building about parking and elevator use ahead of time—it can help things go more smoothly on moving day.

What to Expect in Houston

Houston is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. It has lots of jobs in energy, healthcare, and tech. You’ll find places like the Houston Museum of Natural Science and NASA’s Johnson Space Center. If you like the outdoors, visit Hermann Park. If you love food, Houston has tons of choices—from Tex-Mex to BBQ and everything in between.

Of course, big cities have downsides too. Traffic can be heavy, especially on the 610 Loop and I-45, and summer heat is strong. But compared to Raleigh, Houston often has more affordable housing and more choices for where to live. Areas like The Woodlands, Cypress, and League City are great if you want 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 Raleigh. 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

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. 

The best time to move to Houston is during spring or fall. More specifically, the period from late March to mid-May and from late September to early November is the most comfortable. The temperatures are cooler, the air feels less humid, and you’re less likely to deal with extreme summer heat or storms, which are more common from June to August. 

Houston is generally cheaper to live in than Raleigh. On average, everyday costs in Houston are about 7% lower, and housing usually costs a bit less too. People in Houston also tend to pay less for groceries and utilities, which can add up to noticeable savings. On the other hand, getting around in Houston can cost a little more than it does in Raleigh. Still, for housing and regular expenses, Houston is often the more budget-friendly choice. 

If you're getting ready to move and wondering about moving costs, local movers in Houston usually charge between $75 and $200 per hour. The price depends on how many workers you need and how much you're moving. For a small place like a studio, you might pay under $400 total. For a larger home, the cost can be well over $700. If you're moving out of town, expect to spend more—long-distance moves usually start at about $2,200 for a one-bedroom apartment and go up from there based on distance and the amount of furniture. You might save money by moving on a weekday or in the winter, when fewer people are booking moves. While tipping isn’t required, it’s common to give movers extra based on service—either 10 to 20 percent of the total or a set amount per person.
