Fort Bend County Movers You Can Trust Since 1969

For local Fort Bend County moves, we recommend booking 2 to 3 weeks in advance. During peak moving season (May through August) and around the end of the month when leases turn over, dates fill fast, so book 4 to 6 weeks ahead if possible. For long-distance moves, give us 4 to 6 weeks minimum.

Local Fort Bend County 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.

Yes. Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage is fully licensed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV) and carries liability and cargo insurance on every move. Ask us for our license number and we will provide it immediately. Any mover who cannot give you their TXDMV number should raise a red flag.

Yes, and this is where local experience really matters. Communities like Riverstone, Sienna, Telfair, and Cinco Ranch often have gate access procedures, HOA move-in rules, and restrictions on truck parking or moving hours. We coordinate these details in advance so your crew is not stuck at a gate on moving day.

Stairs and elevators affect how long a move takes, which can affect the final cost on hourly moves. We discuss access details during the quoting process so there are no surprises. For apartment and townhome communities, we work with property management to coordinate access in advance.

Both. We offer full-service packing where our crew packs your entire home, partial packing for specific rooms or fragile items, and packing supply delivery if you prefer to pack yourself. All packing uses professional-grade materials, not grocery store boxes.

Yes, and this comes up constantly in Fort Bend County with so much new construction. If your new home is not ready when your old one sells, we can move your belongings into our secure, climate-controlled warehouse and deliver them when you close. Short-term and long-term storage are both available.

Every item we move is handled by trained, full-time employees, not day laborers or temp workers. We use furniture pads, shrink wrap, dollies, and proper lifting technique on every job. Our trucks are maintained and equipped, and we carry cargo insurance that covers your belongings in transit. We will also walk through the home with you before and after the move.
