Moving Companies in Friendswood, TX
Before you call anyone, it is worth scrolling through the movers below to see who actually covers Friendswood. Once you have a shortlist, here is what shapes the price.
Local crews in the area bill by the hour, typically $100 to $200 for the whole crew, or about $54 per mover per hour. A small apartment move usually totals $200 to $600; a larger three-to-four-bedroom house in Friendswood runs $1,000 to $3,500 or more once stairs and packing add-ons are factored in. Most companies also add a one-time trip fee equal to roughly one hour of labor to cover the drive from their base to your home.
Before you sign
- Ask for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding one can legally rise on moving day if the job runs long.
- Book an early morning slot. Friendswood summer heat and afternoon storms slow crews down, and slower crews mean more billed hours.
- Have the company walk through your home, in person or by video, before quoting, so a piano, safe or gym equipment does not turn into a surprise fee.
- Check your coverage: basic liability pays only about $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV that breaks nets you around $18 unless you add Full Value Protection.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Galveston County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
