Hilshire Village Movers You Can Trust Since 1969

Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage has been Houston's trusted moving company since 1969, and Hilshire Village, one of the smallest and most wooded of the Memorial-area villages, sits just minutes from our warehouse door. A city of only a few hundred homes tucked among mature pines and ravine lots deserves a mover who already knows it, and ours do: the quiet streets, the deep driveways under low canopy, and the expectation that a moving crew works carefully and leaves no trace. Whether you are moving into a ravine-lot home off Wirt Road, out of a longtime family house, or rebuilding on your own lot, our licensed and insured movers handle every detail so you do not have to.

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 (TxDMV No. 0000005457), US DOT authority (No. 436264), cargo insurance, and an ATA ProMover certification held by fewer than 10 percent of moving companies in the country. In a village this small, a mover’s conduct is remembered for years, and we have decades of good memory here.

Our Experience Moving in Hilshire Village

Hilshire Village is home territory for us in the most literal sense, minutes from our own warehouse, and its handful of streets reward familiarity. The village’s wooded, sometimes ravine-backed lots mean truck staging is planned around canopy height and driveway slope rather than assumed. Its homes range from original mid-century houses to substantial new customs, and both playbooks are well practiced: honest whole-house estimating for long-tenured households, and new-finish protection for just-completed builds. Above all, a village of a few hundred homes runs on quiet and courtesy, so our crews keep streets passable, engines off when idle, and the block exactly as they found it. Proximity brings the practical perks too: fast arrivals, easy schedule flexibility, and climate-controlled storage minutes away when a rebuild or a closing gap demands it.

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 Hilshire Village movers?

Arrow Down

Book 2 to 3 weeks ahead for local moves, and 4 to 6 weeks for summer dates. Because our warehouse is minutes away, short-notice moves in the village are often workable too, so call even on a tight timeline.

How much does it cost to hire movers in Hilshire Village?

Arrow Down

Local moves typically range from $550 for smaller households to $2,000+ for the village’s larger estates, depending on crew size, hours, and services. Wooded-lot access and full garages and workshops affect time, and our walkthrough estimates account for all of it honestly.

Can your truck handle our wooded lot and steep driveway?

Arrow Down

Yes, with planning that starts at the estimate. We assess canopy clearance, driveway slope, and turning room in advance, stage at the street when the lot requires it, and plan the carry path so your trees and landscaping stay untouched.

We are rebuilding on our lot. Can you handle the move out, storage, and move back in?

Arrow Down

Yes, this is a signature village move for us. One company, one inventory: out of the original home, into our climate-controlled warehouse minutes away for the length of the build, and back into the finished home with full new-finish protection.

Will the crew respect the quiet of our street?

Arrow Down

Yes, and we brief for it. Engines off when idle, streets kept passable, no radios, and a block left exactly as we found it. In a village of a few hundred homes, we treat every move as a neighbor’s move, because it is.

Are you licensed and insured in Texas?

Arrow Down

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.

Can you move from Hilshire Village to another state?

Arrow Down

Yes. As an agent for National Van Lines, we are fully licensed and equipped for interstate and long-distance moves anywhere in the United States. We coordinate the full move from pickup at your Hilshire Village home to final delivery at your destination.

Do you provide packing materials and packing services?

Arrow Down

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.

Do you offer same-day or last-minute moves?

Arrow Down

We accommodate last-minute moves when availability allows. Call us directly to check availability rather than relying on the website calendar. Urgent situations happen and we do our best to help.

How do I know my belongings are protected during the move?

Arrow Down

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.
