Whether you are moving into a gated complex off Wilcrest, relocating an office along the Beltway corridor, or coordinating an overseas transfer through National Van Lines, 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 district where employers, property managers, and relocation companies all check credentials before hiring, ours check out every time.

Our Experience Moving in Westchase

Westchase moves run on coordination, and decades here have made ours precise. The district’s apartment communities are largely gated and managed, so gate codes, leasing office hours, and assigned parking are confirmed before the truck rolls, and breezeway or third-floor walk-up carries are staffed into the estimate rather than discovered on site. The corporate side runs on a different clock: office relocations along the Beltway and Westheimer corridors happen on evenings and weekends, sequenced and labeled so teams are operational the next morning. And Westchase’s international character means many of our jobs here are one leg of a longer journey, packing to international shipping standards for an outbound transfer or receiving a household arriving from abroad, coordinated through our National Van Lines agency. Few districts ask a mover to do this many different jobs well, and few movers have done them here this long.

Frequently Asked Questions?

How far in advance should I book Westchase movers?

Arrow Down

Book 2 to 3 weeks ahead for local moves, and earlier for end-of-month dates when apartment leases turn over across the district. For long-distance and international relocations, give us 4 to 6 weeks minimum so shipping and documentation timelines line up.

How much does it cost to hire movers in Westchase?

Arrow Down

Local Westchase moves typically range from $300 for a studio to $1,400+ for large apartments and townhomes, with houses and offices quoted by scope. Gate access and stairs affect time, and our estimates account for your specific community up front.

Do you handle gated apartment communities?

Arrow Down

Every week. We confirm gate codes, leasing office hours, and truck parking with your community before moving day, and plan breezeway and stair carries into the estimate. Your move should not stall at a keypad, and ours do not.

Can you manage an international or corporate relocation from Westchase?

Arrow Down

Yes. As an agent for National Van Lines, we handle the origin services for international and interstate transfers: professional packing to shipping standards, inventory documentation, and coordination with your employer’s relocation program or destination agent.

Do you move offices in the Westchase business district?

Arrow Down

Yes, on schedules built around your business. Evening and weekend office moves along the Beltway and Westheimer corridors are core work for our commercial crews, with everything sequenced and labeled so Monday morning looks like nothing happened except the address.

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 Westchase 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 Westchase 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.
