Austin Movers You Can Count On

Looking for Austin movers who will treat your home like their own? Elite Star Movers is a family owned and operated moving company based just down I-35 in Buda, and Austin is where much of our work happens. Whether you’re moving from a Hyde Park bungalow to a house in Circle C, out of a downtown high-rise, into a new build in Southeast Austin, or out of Texas altogether, our crews bring the same careful, steady approach to every job.

We’ve been moving Central Texas families and businesses for more than 10 years. We’re state-licensed (TXDMV #007098595c), insured, registered with the Better Business Bureau, and screened by HomeAdvisor, where we earned their Elite Service, Top Rated, and Best of 2018 awards. And because our owner works in the field alongside our crews, the person responsible for your move is often right there on the job.

Moving Services for Austin Homes and Businesses

Every Austin move is a little different, so you choose the help you need. Some customers want everything handled from the first box to the last bed frame. Others just need strong hands for loading day. We’re glad to do either.

Residential and apartment moves

Houses, condos, townhomes, and apartments across Austin. We’re used to tight apartment stairwells, elevator reservations, gated communities, and parking that takes some planning. We pad and wrap furniture, protect doorways and floors, and place every piece in the room where you want it.

Commercial and office moves

Small businesses and offices can’t afford a week of downtime. We plan office moves around your hours, pack and label workstations and files, and set up furniture at the new space so your team can get back to work quickly.

Packing and unpacking

Full packing for the whole home or partial packing for the kitchen, closets, artwork, and fragile pieces. Want help settling in? We unpack, too.

Piano and heavy-item moves

Uprights, grands, and other heavy, awkward pieces need trained hands and a plan. Learn more on our Austin piano movers page.

Long-distance and out-of-state moves

Leaving Austin for another city or state? We plan for the extra miles from day one. See our long distance moving page for how it works.

What’s Included in Your Austin Move

Your quote spells out exactly what you’re getting. Depending on the services you choose, an Elite Star move can include:

Furniture protection: Moving pads, wrapping, and straps for furniture, mirrors, electronics, and other pieces that scratch or break easily.
Disassembly and reassembly: Beds, tables, desks, and other large pieces taken apart for the move and put back together at your new place.
Loading and unloading: Your belongings loaded in a planned order and unloaded room by room.
Full or partial packing: Boxes, wrap, and careful packing for anything from a single china cabinet to an entire house.
Appliance help: Help disconnecting appliances before the move and reconnecting them at your new home.
Unpacking: Help emptying boxes and getting your kitchen and bedrooms usable on the first night.
A final walk-through: Before we leave, we check that nothing was missed and everything is where you want it.

Moving Around Austin: Local Notes from Our Crews

Austin is a big, fast-growing city, and the details of a move change a lot from one neighborhood to the next. A few things we plan around:

Downtown and high-rise buildings: Towers downtown, around Rainey Street, and near the Domain usually require elevator reservations, loading dock times, and sometimes a certificate of insurance. Send us your building’s move-in rules early and we’ll plan the day around them.
Older central neighborhoods: Homes in Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Clarksville, and Bouldin Creek often have narrow driveways, porch steps, and tight doorways. We measure and wrap carefully so big pieces fit without damage.
Suburban neighborhoods: Circle C, Steiner Ranch, Avery Ranch, and the newer communities along SH-130 and SH-45 often have HOA rules about truck parking and moving hours. Let us know and we’ll work within them.
West Campus and student leases: Around UT, leases tend to turn over in late summer, so streets and elevators get crowded. Booking early helps.
Traffic: I-35, MoPac, US-183, and Loop 360 can all slow down at rush hour. We schedule start times to avoid the worst of it when we can, and early starts also help beat the summer heat.

We also move customers between Austin and nearby communities all the time, including Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and down the corridor to San Antonio.

Moving Out of State from Austin

A lot of our long-distance work starts in Austin. If you’re headed for a new job, family, or a fresh start somewhere else, we can pack your home, load it carefully, and stay in touch until your belongings are delivered. Long-distance moves come with our flat-rate price guarantee, with the details confirmed in your written quote. Some of the routes we help with most:

Staying in Texas but going farther than the metro? We also handle in-state long-distance moves, including Austin to Dallas and Austin to Houston. Our long distance moving page explains how quotes and scheduling work.

Austin Moving FAQs

Do you only move within Austin?

No. We handle local moves across Austin and the surrounding area, in-state long-distance moves to cities like Dallas and Houston, and out-of-state moves to places like Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Nashville.

How far in advance should I book my Austin move?

As early as you can, especially for weekends, the end of the month, and late spring through summer. Two to four weeks ahead is a good target for a local move, and earlier is better for long-distance. When we have openings, we’re happy to help on short notice.

How do I get a price for my move?

Submit your inventory through our online quote form and we’ll email you an estimated quote, or call us. For larger homes, we offer free in-home estimates. Your price depends on how much you’re moving, the distance, packing needs, and access at both homes.

Can you move me into a downtown high-rise or apartment?

Yes. Send us your building’s move-in rules, elevator reservation details, and any insurance paperwork it requires, and we’ll plan the day around them.

Do you offer packing services?

Yes. We offer full packing for the whole home or partial packing for fragile and hard-to-pack items, plus unpacking at your new home.

Do you move pianos in Austin?

Yes. We move upright and grand pianos locally and as part of long-distance moves. Let us know about the piano and any stairs when you request your quote.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Elite Star Movers is state-licensed in Texas (TXDMV #007098595c) and insured. We’re also registered with the BBB and screened by HomeAdvisor.
