Frequently Asked Questions
When should I begin planning my residential move?
It’s best to start planning your residential move at least two to three months in advance. This allows ample time to research movers, declutter, and begin the packing process.
Does Blue Ox Moving & Storage Supply Moving Materials?
Blue Ox Moving & Storage has a range of packing supplies to help make your move smoother and more organized. We invite you to check out our shop.
How much will my move cost?
How much a home moving service will cost depends on the size of your home or apartment and the level of moving services you require. The best way to see how much your move will cost is to request a free home moving estimate. For a local Houston move, you can even get an in-home estimate, which will give you the most accurate assessment or a phone estimate.
How long in advance should I contact Houston Home movers?
Most people don’t know exactly when they will move and thus they can’t schedule their home move in advance. We recommend contacting your Houston movers as soon as you can but at a minimum, you need at least a month in advance. Contacting movers early gives you more time to research moving companies and schedule your move for the desired day.
How long will it take to move my home?
Every move is unique, and the time it takes to complete one varies. The time depends on your home's size, the quantity of your household, and the distance traveled. Moving from a one-bedroom home may take up to three hours to pack, load, and move locally. If you are moving from The Woodlands to Sugar Land, Texas, the moving time will vary, and it may take up to a full day or two to deliver your things.
Some factors, like the distance from your front door to the moving truck, can increase the moving time for local moves.
Why should I hire a professional mover?
One of the main reasons you want to hire a professional mover is to reduce the stress involved on move day. Hiring Blue Ox Moving & Storage gives you peace of mind. Moving can be both emotionally and physically draining, and handling fragile or heavy items with care requires special moving skills. We highly recommend turning to specialists for this, as you would for many of your home moving needs, such as plumbing and electricity.
A professional moving service would include partial or full home packing, loading, transporting, storing, unloading, then helping you unpack. All the while, you and your family can focus on other parts of your move.
With years of experience as a Houston home mover, we can undertake moves of any size or complexity. Click here to request a free moving estimate or talk to one of our experienced sales professionals at 832-934-2583
How should I request an home moving estimate?
There are a few ways to request a home moving estimate. You can complete the form, which helps us understand your moving needs. Once that's complete, you can then set up an appointment for an in-person estimate convenient for you.
You can also call us at 832-934-2583 and speak to a representative.
An estimate is an educated guess of the approximate cost of your home move based on your inventory and the company's experience performing the same type of move.
Should I tip my movers?
As with other service industries, you may wish to thank your movers for a job well done by offering a tip.
While our movers don't expect a specific sum, you may want to adjust your tip amount if you feel that your movers went above and beyond in their efforts.
How do you treat special items?
Well, we treat every item with care but we understand that there are certain items in your home that need special care. How we pack it depends on the type of item. Glass, antiques, marble, or priceless items will need to be reviewed during your estimate review. We will consult with you on items that need to be crated or require special handling.

"I would recommend Blue Ox to anyone planning a move. We had four guys and two trucks, they showed up on time and had us moved in and out in one day. We lived in a two story house and had several large pieces of furniture that were very difficult to bring downstairs and then take upstairs in the new house, they worked hard to get that done. Overall I am very satisfied with the job."
