Conroe Movers for Lake Homes, New Neighborhoods and Downtown
Blue Ox Moving & Storage has been moving families since 2012. Around Conroe that means waterfront houses on Lake Conroe, new homes in Woodforest, Grand Central Park and Harper's Preserve, and older houses near downtown. We are family-owned, our trucks roll out of a northwest Houston warehouse each morning, and every mover on your crew is a Blue Ox employee, never day labor. We hold Texas DMV license No. 006708702 and USDOT No. 2378720.
Tell us your move date with the short form or call (832) 934-2583. A moving consultant can see a lake house in person or walk through a smaller move with you by video.
- Hourly rates posted right on this page, with a 2-hour minimum
- Gate codes, HOA truck rules and steep lake drives sorted out before move day
- Warehouse storage if your new build closes late
Moving Services in Conroe
-
Residential Moving in Conroe
Lake houses, new two-story homes in master-planned neighborhoods and older homes inside Loop 336. Your residential move is billed by the hour, and the pickup and delivery dates go in writing.
-
Packing and Unpacking
Our packing crew comes the day before for a whole-house pack, or handles only the kitchen, the china and the art. At the new house they unpack, so you are not living out of boxes.
-
Storage While Your New Home Is Finished
Builders in Conroe's newer neighborhoods often push closing dates. We keep your furniture in sealed vaults in our climate-controlled warehouse until the house is ready, then deliver it. See moving and storage.
-
Senior Moves and Downsizing
Leaving a longtime home for something smaller near the lake, or for a senior community? Our senior moving services help sort, donate and set up the new place, and seniors who downsize get 10% off.
-
Office and Business Moves
Offices downtown and businesses along I-45 and Loop 336 can move after hours or over a weekend so you lose as little work time as possible. Ask us about office moves.
-
Long-Distance Moves
Moving out of state, or into Conroe from another city? A long-distance move is quoted as one job rather than by the hour, with pickup and delivery dates in writing.

Around Conroe the hours usually go to long driveways and gated entries on the lake, two-story new builds full of boxes, and the drive between addresses when you move across the county. Your moving consultant sets the crew size and hours after seeing what you have. Check Houston moving prices by home size or read how our free estimates work.
Conroe and Lake Conroe Neighborhoods We Move In
Conroe is the Montgomery County seat, about 40 miles north of downtown Houston on I-45, with Loop 336 around the city and Lake Conroe to the northwest. These are the areas our crews work in most:
- Woodforest and Montgomery (77316): Johnson Development's golf-course community about six miles south of Lake Conroe, plus Crown Ranch and the neighborhoods around the city of Montgomery
- Lake Conroe: April Sound, Walden and Bentwater (77356): lake communities with golf clubs, coves and boat slips, many of them behind a gate
- Grand Central Park and south Conroe (77384): a 2,046-acre planned community on I-45 about five miles north of The Woodlands, near Stewart Heights, Wedgewood Falls and River Plantation
- Harper's Preserve and SH 242: a neighborhood planned for about 1,700 homes, with lakes, trails and private streets off SH 242 near I-45
- Downtown Conroe, League Line Road and Willis (77301, 77304, 77318): older homes near the historic downtown and the 1935 Crighton Theatre, newer houses west of I-45 toward the lake, and Willis to the north
We also move families in Shenandoah, Oak Ridge North and Magnolia, and between Conroe and The Woodlands or Houston. A move from one side of Lake Conroe to the other is billed the same hourly way.
Moving in Conroe: What Our Crews Plan For
Lake lots, gated entries, new construction and I-45 traffic shape most moves up here. This is what we plan ahead:
-
Lake Homes and Long Driveways
Waterfront homes on Lake Conroe often sit at the end of a long, sloped drive with little room to turn a truck. We look at the approach during the estimate, decide where the truck will stop and bring enough movers for a longer carry.
-
Gates and HOA Move Rules
April Sound, Walden, Bentwater and many planned neighborhoods use gate codes, guest lists or set hours for moving trucks. We collect the access details from you ahead of time so the truck is not held up at the entrance.
-
New Builds and Shifting Closing Dates
Much of south Conroe and Montgomery is still under construction. When a closing slips, we hold your things in storage and deliver once the builder hands over the keys, protecting new floors and fresh paint on the way in.
-
I-45, Loop 336 and SH 105
Construction on I-45 and traffic on Loop 336, SH 105 and SH 242 can cost an hour if the timing is wrong. We set start times around rush hour and Conroe ISD school runs, and the trip charge stays the same whatever the traffic does.
-
Summer Heat
Montgomery County summers are hot and humid. We start early on summer moves and keep wood furniture and electronics wrapped and out of the sun while the truck is loaded.
Tips for Your Conroe Move
- Send your moving consultant the gate code and any HOA move-day rules a week ahead.
- On the lake, mention steep drives, dock furniture and anything kept in a boathouse.
- If your builder's closing date is not firm, book storage as a backup.
- Pack a first-night box with chargers, medicine, sheets and coffee.
- Carry jewelry, passports and closing papers in your own car.
Your Dates, Guaranteed
We put your pickup and delivery dates in writing when you book. When a builder pushes a closing or a buyer's lender runs late, call your moving consultant and we pick a new date together.
Getting to Conroe
Downtown Conroe is about 41 miles from our Clara Road warehouse, roughly 50 minutes by I-45 north outside rush hour. For Woodforest and the Montgomery side of the lake we usually take SH 249, close to an hour. The trip charge is one hour at your crew's rate either way, with no mileage fee and no fuel surcharge.
