It’s important that you reach out as soon as you know you are moving to ensure you get the date that you need. At a minimum, contact us at least a month in advance. We welcome you to contact us by phone or through our online Estimate Request form.

You will speak to a Blue Ox Moving & Storage local moving expert who is knowledgeable about our area as well as the Blue Ox Moving Process. They will set up an in-person consultation or perform it virtually.

The Blue Ox Moving & Storage Experience

  • Moving Consultation & Moving Estimate In-House or Virtually

A Blue Ox Moving & Storage moving specialist will visit your home or business to gather the clearest picture of your move. We gather all the pertinent details including the size of your home, number of rooms, and any items that will require special care. As we walk through your home, we complete an itemized inventory in our tablets, placing each piece into our system.

They will also explain the moving process and what you should expect. You’ll also have the opportunity to book professional packing and unpacking or storage services should you need them. During your consultation, you will receive an accurate, clear, and concise moving estimate.

  • Scheduling & Preparing
    for Your Move

We will then schedule your move date. After this is done, you will begin preparing for your move. We have prepared the Ultimate Moving Checklist, which will help you with all of the tasks that must be handled for your move.

If you need professional packing services, we can schedule one of our professional packers to come out and carefully pack all your belongings before moving. If you decide to handle the packing yourself, Blue Ox Moving & Storage has all the moving supplies you need to get the job done. Two days before your move, you will receive an email reminder and a phone call.

 

 

  • Moving Day

Our friendly expert movers will arrive on time to greet you on the day of your move. Our team lead will introduce himself and tour the home with you and ensure that everything has been included. The team will start by walking you through the process and answering any questions you have about our services.

Neoprene floor runners are laid down and door covers are used to protect the high traffic areas in your home or business during the move. Our movers will protect your furniture pieces, disassembling them as needed. They will then carefully load them into the Blue Ox Moving & Storage truck and deliver them to your new home. If you’ve chosen full unpacking services, the packing team will arrive the day after the move to help you unpack and settle into your new space.

  • Settling into Your New Home

Once we reach your new home, our team will unload your belongings, placing them in the appropriate room. Have your inventory list available at this time to ensure that everything is accounted for. If you’ve chosen a full-unpacking service, the day after your move your packing professional will arrive to help you unpack and settle into your home.

Once settled, we are here to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have. You will receive a survey the day after your move. We ask that you complete this so that we can ensure your satisfaction.

Blue Ox Moving & Storage proudly serves Houston and the surrounding communities. We are committed to providing smooth and successful moves. We are licensed and insured and have experienced movers to efficiently handle your moving, packing, and storage needs. We invite you to request a complimentary estimate today.

My daughter moved to a new apartment on Friday, 7/31/26. I was at her old place to greet the three gentlemen who arrived to help us with her move. The three were absolutely perfect. They made the move such a delight and I had fun talking to them while they were working. They were extremely fast and so careful with all of her possessions. We will definitely be calling Blue Ox Moving & Storage in the future!

They did a really good job of moving my home from Katy to the other part of Katy. Nothing got broken and they were polite and courteous. Definitely one of the better experiences I’ve had with a moving company and pricing was fair. James was great for work with and even let us borrow tools and step ladder as we had those packed away.
