Happy Clients

This was the best move I have ever had, and I've moved a lot! These guys were efficient, fast, and great to work with. Very courteous and respectful but so much fun. Response time for my initial quote was fantastic. I wish everyone handled their business like this!
Play House movers had my entire storage unit moved into my house and the furniture put together, all within 3 hours. The customer service was top tier. They were friendly and got the job done with no questions asked.
Antonio and Jarrel did an excellent job moving our belongings. They immediately got to work on arrival and finished with time to spare.

Built on community
Playhouse Moving started with a simple idea: Austin deserved movers who were affordable, honest and genuinely good to work with. We are locally owned and operated, and the owner still shows up on moves. Every job is a chance to earn a neighbor's trust, and we take that personally.
“The key to success is community.”

Questions Austin movers get asked most
How much do movers cost in Austin?
Local moves in Austin are billed by the hour, and the rate depends on crew size. The total depends on how much you have, stairs and elevators, how far the truck parks from each door, the drive between homes and how ready things are when the crew arrives. Third-party guides put the Austin market around $120 to $180 an hour for two movers and a truck. Request a written quote for your exact rate.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks ahead for most local moves, and more for summer weekends and month-end dates. Long-distance moves should be booked three to four weeks out. Short notice? Call, because we often have openings.
How many movers do I need?
Studios and one-bedrooms are usually a two-person job. Two- and three-bedroom homes often need three. Larger homes, long carries or lots of stairs can justify four. We recommend a crew size when you request a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Playhouse Moving is insured and has USDOT 3707351. See our insurance and USDOT page for details.

Yes. Standard disassembly and reassembly of furniture we move, like beds and tables, is included.
