Master-planned communities, large family homes, and easy garage access. Vickers moves Katy on a flat, written price.
Moving in Katy: What to Expect
Katy is master-planned suburbia at the west edge of the metro, Cinco Ranch and the newer communities off the Grand Parkway, large family homes with garages, driveways, and HOA move rules. Access is comfortable out here, so we lean on the room, plan the longer run in from the loop, and keep a Katy move efficient.
What to square away before a Katy move
- Larger homes mean more volume and a longer day
- HOA and gated communities may set move-in hours
- The longer haul in from the loop factors into timing
Typical Katy move cost
| Home size | Crew | Est. time | Starts at* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | 2 movers + truck | 2–4 hrs | $270 |
| 2-bedroom home | 3 movers + truck | 4–6 hrs | $720 |
| 3-bedroom home | 4 movers + truck | 6–8 hrs | $1,380 |
| 4-bedroom / large | 4–5 movers | 8+ hrs | Custom quote |
Three ways to keep the day short
- Check your HOA for move-in hours or a gate pass
- Use the garage and driveway to shorten the carry
- Label boxes by room to speed the unload
Three Steps to Moving Day
From that first hello to the final box carried inside and set down in the right room.
Tell Us About the Move
Walk us through the move over the phone, on a quick video call, or right through the form. You get back a flat price in writing, never a soft figure that balloons once the truck is loaded.
Lock In Your Date
Lock in your day and we assign the right crew and truck, then handle the loading-zone permit, the building certificate of insurance, or the freight-elevator booking your move calls for.
We Carry the Load
A single lead runs the entire job, wrap, load, drive, and placement, with our own Houston crew, and we route the run around the 610 Loop, I-10, and Beltway 8 to keep the day on schedule.

I am a real estate agent, and have helped people move for over 15 years. I have always been hesitant to refer anyone to a particular mover, since something usually goes wrong and my clients would blame me. Part of my move involved moving a piano. I asked the piano movers who they thought was the best high-end mover in Houston. They replied Vickers. I am happy to report that this was the best move experience I have ever had. Alan showed up personally to bid out the move. Then he also showed up on move day to supervise everything. He was very hands on. Everything was wrapped and handled with great care. All my pretty things arrived safely and there was not one scratch. The price was on the high end, but completely fair given the professionalism of his team. I would certainly use him again, and will recommend him to all my clients who love their stuff enough to use the very best mover in Houston.
Great experience with Alan and his crew! Had a couch delivered that didn't fit around the stair case in my townhouse. Alan personally came to my place to check it out, before saying whether they could or couldn't fit it from the balcony. They took good care and moved it in from the balcony. Very nice and quick! Highly recommend them!
Hands down the best guys in the business! We have used them both times we have moved, and can't imagine getting better quality or service.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you move within Katy?
Yes, all across Katy and Cinco Ranch. Local moves run on our flat hourly with a written estimate, and we plan for HOA move rules and the drive in from town. When the move leaves Texas, we price it on weight and mileage instead.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are. Vickers Moving Service carries Texas household-goods authority and full insurance, and your job stays with our own crew start to finish, with no broker slipping in to grab a cut. We are glad to walk you through the authority numbers and coverage details, and we will review your valuation options before anything is locked in.
Can you do high-rise moves that need a certificate of insurance?
Yes, constantly. High-rises near the Galleria, Midtown, the Museum District, and the Medical Center expect a certificate of insurance on file and a freight elevator reserved for a set window. We submit the COI to building management, hold the elevator, pad the cab and hallways, and finish inside the booked slot so you are off the dock on time.
My Heights bungalow has a tight 1920s staircase. Is that a problem?
This is exactly what we do best. Those vintage bungalows in the Heights, Woodland Heights, and Norhill are raised on piers, with steep front steps, narrow doorways, and cramped boxed-in stairwells. We size up every turn, pad the jambs and railings, and lift or hand-carry whatever refuses to make the corner, just as we have done since 1993.
Will you handle the packing?
As much or as little as you want. Want the whole house boxed? Done. Just the kitchen and the artwork? That is fine too. We arrive with heavy-duty cartons and paper, mark every box by room, and once the truck is empty we will unpack you at the new place.
Can you move pianos, gun safes, and pool tables?
Yes, and our crew handles them week after week. Upright or grand, a loaded gun safe, a slate pool table, a family heirloom, or a framed canvas, every one rides the right board or dolly under proper straps and pads, and we build a custom crate any time a piece needs one.
Can I move or cancel my date?
Of course. Reschedule or cancel with at least two days’ notice and your full deposit comes back to you. Every condition is written into your booking in plain words, so nothing is left to guesswork.
