Houston Heights Movers You Can Trust Since 1969

For local moves in the Houston Heights, 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 moves in the Houston Heights 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, decades of it. Historic bungalows come with narrow doorways, plaster walls, original hardwood floors, and steep attic stairs, and our crews protect all of it. We pad door frames, lay floor protection, measure large pieces before lifting, and disassemble furniture when needed. Moving a hundred-year-old home safely is standard work for us, not a special request.

Many Houston Heights streets are narrow, tree-lined, and dependent on street parking. We plan truck placement in advance, and if your street cannot accommodate a full-size truck, we coordinate a shuttle or stage from the nearest workable spot. Tell us about your street during the quote and we will handle the rest.

Yes. New construction townhomes in the Heights and Shady Acres often have tight interior staircases and multiple flights. Our crews handle these layouts daily. For oversized pieces that will not make the turns, we plan disassembly or alternative routes in advance rather than improvising on moving day.

Stairs 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, and townhome stairs are factored into your estimate up front.

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 Heights home to final delivery at your destination.

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.

We serve the entire Heights area, including Houston Houston Heights, Woodland Heights, Sunset Heights, Norhill, Shady Acres, Timbergrove, Lazybrook, and Greater Heights, plus every surrounding Houston neighborhood. See the full list above or call us if you are not sure.
