As Dallas and DFW apartment moving specialists, we move studios, one to three-bedroom apartments, condos, and high-rise units across the metroplex. We have done this for over 20 years, we are family owned, and we use our own trained crews rather than subcontractors. Because we run around the clock, we can move you on evenings and weekends, which is ideal for month-end lease turnovers.

Renters search for apartment movers, apt movers, and condo movers. All three land here, because we handle all three. Whether you rent a garden-style walk-up in Garland or own a condominium in Uptown, the crew and the equipment change to fit the building.

Apartments, Condos, and High-Rises We Move

No two apartments are the same, so we match the right crew and truck size to your move. We handle:

  • Studios and small apartments, with crews and trucks sized so you don’t pay for more than you need.
  • One, two, and three-bedroom apartments, packed and labeled room by room.
  • Condos and townhomes, including units with shared entrances and stairs.
  • High-rise and mid-rise units, with elevator coordination and care for shared hallways and lobbies.
  • Walk-ups and garden-style apartments, where stairs and tight access call for the right gear.

Condo Movers in Dallas: HOA Rules, COI, and Elevator Access

A condo move is not an apartment move. The building is owner-occupied, the HOA sets the rules, and approval starts earlier.

We move condominiums across Dallas, from Uptown and Victory Park towers to converted lofts in Deep Ellum and the Design District. Here is what changes.

HOA approval comes before the move date. Most Dallas condo associations require written notice and an approved moving window, often 10 to 14 days ahead. Some hold a refundable deposit against damage to common areas. Send us your HOA packet when you book and we complete the mover portion for you.

The certificate of insurance names the association. Condo boards usually want the association named directly, not just the property manager. We issue the COI with whatever wording your documents require.

Service elevator, not passenger. Condo towers protect their lobbies. We reserve the freight elevator, pad the walls, and lay floor runners through shared corridors.

Owner moves run heavier than renter moves. Condo owners tend to have more furniture, more artwork, and more pieces that need specialty handling or a piano crew. We size the team for that rather than sending a standard two-man crew and running over.

Condo, condominium, townhome, or loft, the job is the same to us. Call for a condo moving quote and tell us the building name.

We Handle Your Building’s Moving Requirements

Most Dallas apartment communities and high-rises have move-in rules, and we manage them for you. Tell us your building’s requirements when you book, and we take care of:

  • Certificate of Insurance (COI): We provide a COI to your property management or HOA when your building requires one, so your crew gets approved access without delay.
  • Elevator reservations: We coordinate service or freight elevator windows so your move stays on schedule.
  • Loading dock and parking: We plan truck access, loading zones, and long carries ahead of move day.
  • Approved move windows: We work within your building’s designated days and hours, and protect common areas as we go.

Same-Day and After-Hours Apartment Moves

The name says it: we move around the clock, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Apartment leases often turn over at the end of the month, and many renters can only move after work or on weekends. We schedule evening, weekend, and same-day moves so your move fits your life, not the other way around. You also get a direct line to the same local Dallas crew from your first call to the last box.

Small Apartment Moves and Single-Room Jobs

Not every move needs a full truck and a full day. We take small jobs: a studio, a few rooms, a single bedroom set, or a load-only job where you already have a truck.

Small jobs carry a minimum booking time, and we tell you what it is on the call before you commit to anything. Tell us what you have and we will tell you whether a two-man crew covers it. We would rather send two movers for two hours than sell you a job you do not need.

Apartment-to-Apartment Moves in the Same Complex

Moving to a different unit in the same building is a different job than a standard local move, and it should cost less.

There is no drive time. Our crew arrives once, parks once, and works the whole job on foot or in the elevator. You are not paying for a truck to cross Dallas twice. On short hops between nearby buildings, we often move items on dollies and pads without loading and strapping the truck for road transit.

That makes same-complex moves faster and cheaper than a comparable move across town. Many finish in half a day.

We handle these all the time in Dallas:

  • Upgrading to a larger floor plan at lease renewal
  • Downsizing to cut rent when a lease turns over
  • Switching to a quieter or higher floor
  • Moving out of a unit with a maintenance problem
  • Transferring between buildings in the same community

Same-day service is often possible, since these jobs are short and do not tie up a truck all day. If your leasing office gives you a narrow window to be out of the old unit and into the new one, tell us the window when you book. We schedule the crew around it and handle the elevator reservation for both units.

Call for a same-complex quote. These jobs are priced differently than a standard local move, so do not assume the regular rate applies.

Cheapest Days and Times to Move Your Apartment

Moving companies price on demand. If you can move when demand is low, you pay less for the same work.

Move midweek. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the cheapest days in almost every market. Saturday is the busiest, followed by Friday and Sunday. Most leases end on the last day of the month, and most people take a weekend day off to move. That pushes demand into three days a week.

Move mid-month. The window from roughly the 28th to the 1st sees several times the demand of mid-month dates, because lease turnovers and home closings cluster there. Booking the 10th to the 20th avoids the crush. This pattern holds even in slow months.

Move in the off-season. Roughly 60 to 70 percent of US moves happen between May and September. January and February are the quietest months and the cheapest.

Dallas has a real advantage here. Off-season moving in northern cities means snow and ice. In DFW, a January move usually means mild, dry weather. You get off-season pricing without the weather risk, which is not true in most of the country. Our blog covers the pros and cons of moving in the off-season in more detail.

If your lease dates lock you into a month-end Saturday, book early. The earlier you call, the more crew options we have, and the more likely you get the slot you want. For more ways to cut costs, see our tips for moving on a budget.

Apartment Movers vs Moving Containers and PODS

Containers like PODS work well for some moves. For most Dallas apartment moves, they run into a problem specific to apartments: there is nowhere to put the container.

Full-service apartment movers Moving container
Who loads it Our crew You, or labor you hire separately
Timeline One scheduled day Days or weeks at your pace
Where it sits Truck parks, loads, leaves Needs a parking spot for days
Complex rules Standard, we handle COI and elevator Many complexes restrict or ban containers
Storage between leases Available on request Included in most container quotes
Damage coverage Licensed and insured carrier You loaded it, so you own the risk
Typical local cost Higher Lower before you add loading labor

Where containers win. You have a gap between leases and need storage. You have a flexible timeline. Your budget is tight and you can do the lifting.

Where containers lose for apartments. Most Dallas complexes will not let a container sit in the parking lot for a week. Some require a permit or ban them outright. Check with your leasing office before you book one, not after.

The other issue is labor. Container pricing looks cheap until you add a loading crew, which most people end up hiring anyway. Once you pay for loading and unloading at both ends, the gap narrows fast.

Our honest take: if your complex allows a container and you want to pack slowly, use one. If you have a hard move-out date, a shared elevator, and a building that wants a certificate of insurance, hire movers. That is the job we do every week.

Dallas Apartment Communities and High-Rises We Serve

We move renters and condo owners across Dallas, in every building type the city has.

Downtown and urban core. Downtown and the Main Street District, Uptown, Victory Park, Deep Ellum, The Cedars, Design District, Oak Lawn, Knox-Henderson, and Trinity Groves. These are high-rise and mid-rise buildings with service elevators, loading docks, reserved move windows, and certificate of insurance requirements. We book the elevator and clear the paperwork before move day.

Established Dallas neighborhoods. Lower Greenville, Lakewood, Bishop Arts and North Oak Cliff, Preston Hollow, Lake Highlands, Vickery Meadow, Casa Linda, and the Medical District. Expect a mix of garden-style walk-ups, older mid-rise buildings, and converted properties with tight stairwells and narrow landings.

Suburban apartment communities. Las Colinas in Irving, Addison, CityLine in Richardson, Legacy West in Plano, and communities across Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Garland, Rockwall, Rowlett, Highland Park, and Mesquite. Most are three-story garden-style buildings with exterior stairs and no elevator.

We know which of these have loading docks, which make you carry across a parking lot, and which only allow moves on weekdays. Tell us your address when you call and we will tell you what to expect.

Licensed, Family-Owned, and Rated 4.9 by Dallas Customers

We have moved Dallas households and businesses for over 20 years. Here is what stands behind that.

4.9 stars across 228 Google reviews at our Dallas location on Preston Road. Read them on our reviews page or on Google.

Family owned and operated. We are not a national chain, a franchise, or an app that sells your job to whoever bids lowest.

Our own crews, never subcontracted. Every move is handled by our own trained staff. That is why the crew that quotes your apartment is the crew that shows up, and why our teams are consistent from job to job. Brokers cannot promise that.

Our own trucks and equipment. Padding, blankets, dollies, shoulder straps, and specialist gear travel with the crew. Nothing gets rented on the morning of your move.

Licensed and insured in Texas. TxDMV 009357688C and USDOT 1942102. You can verify both on the TxDMV website before you book, and we recommend you check any mover that way.

Two Dallas-area offices. 17330 Preston Rd, Suite 200D, Dallas, and 501 W Main St, Suite B, Mesquite. Two bases means shorter travel to your building on both sides of the metroplex.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you hire movers for an apartment?

Yes. Apartment moves are most of what we do. You do not need a house or a full truck to hire professional movers. We move studios, one to three-bedroom apartments, condos, and single-room jobs. Many renters assume movers only handle houses. Two movers and a small truck cover most apartments in half a day.

How do you price an apartment move in Dallas?

We quote each apartment move individually, because the same one-bedroom can take very different amounts of time depending on your floor, your elevator, and where the truck can park. A number posted on a website ignores all three. Call (469) 853-0045 with your unit size, floor, elevator situation, and both addresses, and we give you a firm estimate the same day. No deposit, no obligation, and the quote holds.

What is the cheapest day to move an apartment in Dallas?

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Saturday is the busiest and most expensive day, followed by Friday and Sunday. Timing within the month matters just as much. The stretch from the 28th to the 1st carries several times the demand of mid-month dates, because that is when leases turn over. A midweek move between the 10th and the 20th is the cheapest slot available, and January and February are the cheapest months.

Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance for my apartment complex?

Yes. Most Dallas high-rises, managed communities, and condo associations require a certificate of insurance before they release the service elevator or loading dock. Send us your property manager’s or HOA’s requirements when you book, including who to name and what limits they want. We issue the COI directly to your management office. Give us a few business days so nothing holds up your elevator reservation. You can read more about coverage on our moving insurance page.

Can you move me on a weekend or after 5pm?

Yes. We run around the clock, seven days a week. Evening, weekend, and overnight apartment moves are a normal part of what we do. Renters often cannot take a weekday off, and leases turn over at month end whether it is convenient or not. One thing to check first: many apartment communities restrict move hours, often to weekdays or a set window like 9am to 5pm. Ask your leasing office before you book an after-hours slot.

How long does it take to move a 1-bedroom apartment?

Three to four hours is typical for a one-bedroom with a crew of two, from truck arrival to the last box in the new unit. Add an hour or more for a walk-up, a shared elevator, or a long carry across a parking lot. Add two to four hours if we are packing for you. Same-complex moves usually finish faster.

Do you handle buildings with no elevator?

Yes. Garden-style walk-ups are common across DFW and we move them constantly. Stairs slow the job, so we send the right crew size and bring shoulder dollies, stair rollers, and padding for railings and corners. Tell us your floor when you book so we size the crew correctly. We also wrote a guide on moving into an apartment with no elevator.

What if my complex only allows moves during certain hours?

We work inside your building’s rules. Send us the approved days, the hour window, and any elevator reservation process when you book. We schedule the crew to arrive at the start of your window and plan the load order so the heavy work happens first. If your window is too short for the whole job, we tell you upfront and propose a split across two days rather than get shut down halfway through.

Can you move me from one unit to another in the same complex?

Yes, and it usually costs less than a standard local move. There is no drive time, so you pay for labor rather than transport. Many same-complex moves finish in half a day, and same-day scheduling is often available. If you have to be out of the old unit and into the new one on the same date, tell us both unit numbers and we handle the elevator for both.

How far in advance should I book an apartment move in Dallas?

Four to six weeks for a month-end or summer date. Two to three weeks in spring and fall. One to two weeks in January and February, outside holiday weeks. Booking early gets you the time slot you want and a crew that is not stacked behind another job. If your date is already tight, call anyway. We run 24/7, so we often have slots other companies do not. See what to do when your preferred moving date is not available.

What items will movers not move?

We cannot transport hazardous materials. That includes propane tanks, gasoline, paint, aerosols, pool chemicals, ammunition, and fireworks. Most movers also decline perishable food, live plants on long-distance moves, and anything already leaking. Cash, jewelry, passports, and prescriptions should travel with you, not on the truck. Our full list of items we cannot move has the details.
