Neighborhood notes
Plenty of local moves here never leave the 77079 or 77024 ZIP codes. Families trade up within Nottingham Forest, a 1960s subdivision bounded by Memorial Drive on the north and Buffalo Bayou on the south and west, or move from Westchester or Fonn Villas to a newer build a mile away. Because the trip itself is short, the work is mostly loading and unloading, which is why careful wrapping and an efficient crew save the most money on these jobs.
Memorial Bend, first developed in 1955, is known for mid-century modern and ranch houses with low rooflines and wide single-story layouts. Those floor plans are easy to walk but often have tight turns into bedrooms. Larger rebuilds elsewhere in Memorial bring the opposite problem: two-story foyers, curved staircases and heavy furniture. We look at both ends of the move during the estimate so the right number of movers shows up.
Memorial Drive narrows to four lanes between Gessner Road and Highway 6, and side streets are residential and tree-lined, so we plan where the truck will sit before arrival. Moves toward Memorial City or CityCentre often end at an apartment or mid-rise with a loading dock and elevator booking. We can request those windows and send the building a certificate of insurance at no extra cost.
Ask your HOA or civic club whether trucks may park on the street or must stay in the driveway on moving day.If you are moving to an apartment near Memorial City or CityCentre, reserve the elevator and dock time as soon as you sign the lease.Measure doorways in older ranch houses before move day so we know which pieces need to come apart first.Moving between two Memorial homes on the same day?

FAQ's
Answers for people moving within Memorial or to a nearby Houston neighborhood.
It depends on the size of the home, how much is packed and how easy each house is to access, so we do not promise a set number of hours. After a walkthrough, in person or virtual, we recommend a crew size and give an estimate. Because billing is hourly, a well-packed home that moves a short distance costs less.
No. Stairs and long carries are included in the hourly rate. The only extra charges are small specialty handling fees for oversized pieces such as gun safes, pianos, hot tubs or gym equipment, and those are quoted before you book.
Yes. Many apartment and mid-rise buildings there require a certificate of insurance and a reserved elevator or loading dock. Send us the building's requirements and we will provide the COI at no added cost and plan the move around your reserved window.
The deposit equals the two-hour minimum. It is fully refundable if you cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead. Payment for the rest of the move is collected after the final walkthrough, by cash, check, major credit card, Zelle or Venmo.
Yes. Most of Memorial is in Spring Branch ISD, while some western sections, such as parts of Thornwood, are in Katy ISD. We move households throughout both, as well as into the Memorial Villages and Spring Branch.
