Neighborhood guide
Rice Military sits between Washington Avenue on the north and Buffalo Bayou on the south, with Shepherd Drive and Westcott Street as its east and west edges. Few building restrictions over the years produced a real mix: original bungalows and shotgun houses beside two- and three-story townhouses and condominiums. On one block we might move a single-story cottage in the morning and a four-level townhome in the afternoon, so we ask for the exact home type before sending a crew.
Crestwood borders Memorial Park directly to the west and runs south to Buffalo Bayou and north to I-10. Development began in the 1940s, and many original ranch homes have been replaced by large custom houses with Mediterranean, traditional or contemporary styling. Those newer homes tend to have big furniture, wide staircases and stone or hardwood floors that need full protection while we work.
Camp Logan, named for the World War I training camp that became the park, offers everything from luxury townhomes to large detached houses, some with rooftop decks. Inside these inner-loop neighborhoods, streets are narrower and on-street parking is tighter than in the suburbs. We plan the truck position, crew count and carry path before arrival so the move stays efficient on a short trip.
Reserve a parking spot for the truck in front of your townhome the night before by asking neighbors to leave room.Send us photos of the stairwell turns in a three-story townhome so we can flag oversized pieces in advance.Pick a weekday morning if your street sees heavy traffic from park visitors on weekends.If your new Crestwood home is still being finished, ask about short-term storage so items are not stacked in a construction zone.

FAQ's
Answers for people moving short distances around Memorial Park.
Yes, and it is one of our most common inner-loop jobs. Because both homes usually have multiple floors, we bring enough movers to carry efficiently on both ends and disassemble anything that will not clear the stairs. Stairs are never billed as an extra.
Yes. We lay floor protectors and pad doorways, railings and corners before any furniture moves. In rain, we add shrink-wrap and waterproof pads so wet shoes and furniture do not damage hardwood or stone floors.
At least one week ahead is ideal. May through August and the last weekend of every month are the busiest periods, so book earlier for those. We accommodate last-minute moves whenever a crew is open, and mid-week, mid-month dates usually have the most room.
Yes. We move upright, baby grand and grand pianos as well as gun safes, including stair work. These items may carry a small specialty handling fee, which we always quote upfront so there is no surprise on move day.
Yes. We move apartments, condos and mid-rise units across the corridor. Many buildings require a certificate of insurance and a reserved elevator, and we provide the COI at no extra cost and schedule around your building's move-in window.
