(10 out of 10 rating)

Our original, booked mover canceled two days before our move even after I had checked the website to confirm and directly emailed the original iMover broker to get a personal verification 4 days before. However, Better Deal movers quickly picked up the slack and emailed me through iMovers. I was very impressed with A.D., Hans, and Devin. They worked quickly without sacrificing careful and thorough wrapping of our furniture. They took care going through hallways and doors. They worked from 8:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m. and still had another 4 hours to get back to Houston the night.

Houston Moving Services Are a Click Away

iMoving streamlines your Houston move with a variety of services through our trusted network of movers. ״No matter the moveת we have you covered:״

Long Distance Moving

There's a surprising amount of long distance moving companies in Houston, but they're not all worthy of your attention. That's why iMoving made it easy to shop and choose from the best in town.

We're the only marketplace that lets you shop, compare quotes, and book your long distance movers in Houston without dealing with phone calls or in-home inspections. Just tell us where you're going and what needs hauling, and we'll provide a list of moving pros that are up to the task.

Local Moving

You're looking for the best local moving company in Houston, and iMoving can help you book them. We'll sort out all the sketchy operators to make sure you get a list of the more reliable and trustworthy options, and we'll make it easy to book once you've shopped through quotes.

Instead of dealing with in-home estimates or time-wasting phone calls, iMoving is the only platform that lets you book your local movers in just a few clicks. And even though you're just moving in Houston, we still hold your local movers to the same tough standards that we have in place for our cross country moving teams.

Packing Services

Do you have enough boxes for all your stuff? Do you have enough padding for all your fragile items? Do you have tape, packing peanuts, furniture pads, and everything else to keep your items absolutely safe in transit?

Amazon boxes won't cut it. And neither will your old t-shirts for padding and protection. Book packing services in Houston, and iMoving will make sure you'll get all the supplies you need - and the skilled hands to put it all in place.

Storage Services

Some people overestimate how much space they have. Some people underestimate how much stuff they have. And some people are a little bit of both. That's why iMoving offers secure, on-site storage for all your extra items.

Storage isn't just about square footage. It's also about spare time. It's tough to get situated at your new place if you have to weave through dozens of boxes. If those boxes are in a storage facility in Houston, it'll be a lot easier to set up your new place. And if your storage providers can deliver your items straight to your door? That's even easier - and that's how storage at iMoving works.

Commercial Moving

Pardon the pun, but moving a business includes a lot of moving parts. It's more than just moving desks: It's moving your team, moving your base of operations, and moving all the equipment and appliances that makes your HQ the beating heart of your company.

At iMoving, we only work with the best commercial moving companies in Houston. We make sure they offer all the specialty services you'll need for your fragile IT gear, your heavy machinery, and your mountains of inventory. And we made it super easy to shop for quotes and compare services while you're at it.
