native5th Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Does anyone have a recommendation for a good moving company? We need a major one, like Mayflower or United to move us from one 2700 sq foot home to another. We have a full attic and garage, too. We are moving from Houston to Spring. We are doing the packing ourselves. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 To be honest, I recommend Cantu Movers. I've been recommending and using them for years. They've handled every job that I've referred to from a small apartment to major homes. They're also the most reasonable as long as you give a detailed list of what you plan on moving and they won't screw you around with "hourly" rates like other movers do. For the record, I've used them twice and I've referred them to MY clients for over 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 We've used # Men Movers about 6 times for various moves, from one house to another and to move things from a house to storage and back. Always on time, polite, and very careful with the furniture. They always took the time to figure out how to get something up or down stairs, and never hit the walls, even on stairs that make a U-turn.

Flamingyak Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Max Movers. We did an in-town move from North Houston to Central Houston, and they packed up our stuff in no-time flat. We were literally amazed... our jaws were on the ground. We spent 3 weeks packing up half of our belongings and they packed up the other half in 3 hours! Very careful, very courteous. We've recommended them to all of our friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLTD Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I used Mayflower for a cross country move a few years back. I was quite pleased. They packed/loaded/and unloaded at the other end. 1 broken wine glass out of the entire load was the only problem. Would use again.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapillionWyngs Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 If you aren't moving out of Houston, Di-Co movers are the best! We've used them many times, and they are excellent. They charge by the hour, and have a 2 or 3 person team. They pack if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieDidIt Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Graebel is the best.Whatever you do, don't use Westhiemer Moving and Transfer. They stole things, damaged antiques and had no clue how to move/pack paintings and lift antique pieces. The literally threw a Chandelier up on top of all the furniture in the truck and started to close the doors.

TonyH Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hiring a major one would only cost more and it all depends on the specific crew you get on your move day anyway.I have used Transpinello Movers and I was very satisfied: 281-364-8420http://transpinelomovers.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmallen Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) We've used ACME Movers (281-867-0322) twice for our moves from and to houses in the Clear Lake/League City area, and once for my mom who moved from Baton Rouge to Houston. No problems to report...they charge hourly (which we prefer)- $85/hr for a two-man crew and a $45 trip fee for our moves in the Clear Lake/League City area. For my mom's move (which was last week) they charged a total of $1575 which included the trip fees and hourly costs ($85/hr). We have not found anything broken/lost and they have always been very professional and fast (barely even slowing down to drink water during the loading/unloading). I should mention that all three of the times we have used them they did all the packing and supplied all boxes/materials (they stated each time that they would charge us for what was used, but after giving each mover a $20 tip, we never get charged for any of the boxes they used). They even sent 3 men to our first move because they were doing a real big move in the same area that afternoon, they only charged us the 2-man rate (because we only requested 2) so it only cost us one extra tip for a much quicker move.
