About Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage

We are not a national franchise dispatching day laborers. Every crew member is a trained, full-time employee, and every move is backed by full Texas DMV licensing, cargo insurance, and an ATA ProMover certification held by fewer than 10 percent of moving companies in the country. Our warehouse sits on the northwest side of Houston, which makes Cypress one of the closest suburbs we serve, and it shows in how fast our crews arrive.

What affects your price

Stairs and elevators, specialty items (pianos, safes, artwork), packing services, distance between locations, time of year (summer moves cost more), and whether you need storage.

What does not change

Our hourly rates, our crew quality, and our commitment to no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Long-distance moves are priced differently, based on weight, distance, and services selected, and require a binding or non-binding estimate. Contact us for a free in-home or video survey for any move over 50 miles.

Questions? We have answers

Our team is here to address all your moving concerns. From pricing and timelines to licensing, insurance, and contracts, we provide clear, honest answers to help you make informed decisions. No question is too small our goal is to ensure your move is smooth, safe, and stress-free.

How far in advance should I book Cypress movers?

For local Cypress moves, we recommend booking 2 to 3 weeks in advance. During peak moving season (May through August), when families move between school years, dates fill fast, so book 4 to 6 weeks ahead if possible. For long-distance moves, give us 4 to 6 weeks minimum.

How much does it cost to hire movers in Cypress?

Local Cypress moves typically range from $300 for a small apartment to $2,000+ for a large home, depending on crew size, hours, and services. See the pricing table above for detailed ranges by home size. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know the cost before you commit.

Do you move within Bridgeland, Towne Lake, and other master-planned communities?

Yes, every week. These communities have HOA move rules, and some sections, especially in Towne Lake, have gate access. We coordinate these details in advance so your crew is not stuck at a gate on moving day.

Do you handle move-ins to new construction homes in Cypress?

Yes, this is one of the most common moves we do in Cypress. We coordinate around your closing date, protect new floors, walls, and door frames during the move-in, and if your build is delayed we can store your belongings in our climate-controlled warehouse until the home is ready.

What areas of Cypress do you serve?

We serve all of Cypress and the Cy-Fair area, including Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Cypress Creek Lakes, Blackhorse Ranch, Lakes of Rosehill, and neighboring Jersey Village, Tomball, and Northwest Houston. Call us if you are not sure.

Is Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage licensed and insured to operate?

Yes, Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured. Their licensing and insurance ensure that moves are safe, legal, and protected. Customers can verify their credentials to confirm their “ACTIVE” status for peace of mind.

How can someone tell if the business is legal and professional?

All reputable moving companies have clearly marked trucks displaying the company name, USDOT number, and any required licensing certificate number on both sides. It is legally required to have this information visible. If a moving vehicle arrives without the proper markings, do not allow them into your home or office.

Am I required to sign contracts or documents?

Yes, proposals, contracts, and other documentation are designed to protect the consumer. A licensed moving professional will review any proposal with you before requiring a signature. Once signed, no additional charges can be applied without mutual agreement. Always read all documents carefully before signing. Additionally, licensed movers are required by law to provide a “Rights and Responsibilities” brochure to inform consumers of their protections.

What a great deal. Is this price, right?

As the saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Extremely low prices may appear attractive, but they can end up costing the consumer more in hidden fees or rushed contracts. Be cautious of movers offering unusually low rates, and always review agreements carefully before committing.

Can customers ask questions before booking movers?

The customer should always feel free to ask questions. The best moving companies answer questions openly, provide documentation freely, and make the customer feel comfortable with a stressful situation.
