Apartment Movers in Austin

Apartment moves have their own rules: elevator reservations, stairwells, narrow hallways, parking that is never close enough, and a property manager asking for a certificate of insurance. Elite Star Movers is a family owned and operated moving company based in Buda, and we move apartments, condos, and lofts all around Austin, north, south, east, and west, plus San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, and San Antonio. We plan around your building’s rules so move day stays on schedule.

What Makes Apartment Moves Different

Elevators and stairs

If your building has an elevator, it may need to be reserved and padded for your move. If it does not, every piece goes up or down the stairs. Either way, we plan the crew size and the order we carry things so the move keeps flowing. Tell us the floor number at both places when you request a quote.

Move-in and move-out windows

Many communities only allow moves during set hours or on certain days. Some charge fees or turn movers away when they show up outside the window. Share your windows when you book and we will schedule around them.

Certificates of insurance (COI)

Property managers often ask movers to provide a COI naming the property before move day. Send us the requirements from your leasing office early, ideally as soon as you book, so the paperwork is done before your date.

Parking and loading

Apartment parking lots fill up and fire lanes are off-limits. Ask your leasing office where a moving truck can park and whether there is a loading zone. The closer the truck can get to your door or elevator, the faster your move goes.

Tight spaces

Narrow breezeways, tight turns, and small doorways are normal in apartments. Our crews pad and wrap furniture, take apart beds and tables, and protect door frames and walls along the path.

Your Apartment Moving Checklist

1. Do your pre-move survey with us. Every move starts with one: we go over what is moving, floors, elevators, and parking at both places.
2. Call your leasing office. Ask about move hours, elevator reservations, COI requirements, and where the truck can park.
3. Reserve the elevator at both buildings for the same day and time window.
4. Book your movers early, especially at month-end, when most leases turn over.
5. Measure big pieces like sectionals and dressers, and the doorways they need to fit through.
6. Pack and label before the crew arrives. Keep an open-first box with chargers, toiletries, and bedding.
7. Do a final walk-through for your move-out inspection. Take photos of the empty unit.

Apartment Moving FAQs

Can you provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for my apartment?

Yes. Many Austin and San Antonio apartment communities ask movers for a COI before move day. Send us your property’s exact requirements as early as you can so the paperwork is ready before your date.

Do you move apartments with no elevator?

Yes. Stair carries are part of apartment moving. Tell us which floor you are on at both places so we can plan the right crew size.

What if my building only allows moves during certain hours?

Tell us your move-in and move-out windows and elevator reservation times when you book. We schedule the crew around them.

How are apartment moves priced?

Local apartment moves are priced by the hour based on crew size, with no truck fees. Travel time is listed separately on your quote. Stairs, elevator waits, and how far the truck can park from your door all affect time.

Can you move me out of a dorm or student apartment in San Marcos or Austin?

Yes. We move student apartments near Texas State and UT. Book as early as you can, because lease-turnover weeks fill up fast.

Do you move single items?

Yes. Single-item moves are welcome, whether it is a couch up three flights of stairs or one dresser across town.

Do you do a pre-move survey?

Yes, always. Every move starts with a pre-move survey, where we go over what is moving, stairs, elevators, and parking at both apartments, and any special items before move day, so the crew, trucks, and plan are right.
