Specialty & Piano Moving in Houston
Free, No-Obligation Estimate
Pianos, gun safes, pool tables, antiques, and fine art handled by movers trained for exactly this, every piece on the right board under proper straps and pads, plus a custom-built crate whenever one is needed.
Specialty & Piano Moving in Houston
A few pieces take more than a strong back. We move pianos, gun safes, slate pool tables, antiques, and fine art across Houston with a crew trained for it, the right gear, and the patience a valuable piece deserves.
What sets it apart
Weight is one problem and fragility is another, and we show up ready for both. An upright or a grand, a gun safe, a slate table, a marble top, a framed canvas, each gets its own board, straps, and pads, plus a crate built to fit whenever the piece calls for it.

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.

What Our Customers Say
We had such a perfect (yes perfect) moving experience with Alan and company. We did not have an easy job for them and they never showed frustration and were extremely professional throughout the entire process. The pricing was very comparable to other companies, and the previous reviews don't lie, this is the best of the best in Houston moving. Our move consisted of three stops and multiple swaps of very antique, delicate furniture, and they never missed a step and were full speed (in 90 degree weather) the entire ten hour move. They took care of our furniture better than we could have imagined. They showed up on time and followed all directions with a smile. They did not overcharge for anything or try to add extra charges along the way. Two flat screen TVs, glass coffee tables, antique china cabinets, mirrors from the early 1900s and much, much more, all moved with the hourly charge plus the materials they used. The end price was exactly what Alan quoted me. Honest, legit, hard working people. Do yourself a favor and hire Alan and his team, worth every penny!
Great company! Sarah was wonderful and helpful when she came out to look at our stuff and house. The price quoted was very competitive and fair. The crew arrived on time and were all extremely professional and courteous. They never hesitated in moving furniture around when we got to the new house. Even my mother-in-law, who has moved overseas several times and used many moving companies, was incredibly impressed. Would highly recommend this fantastic family-owned company.
I recently moved into a new office and needed to move my furniture in, 2 large desks and a heavy wooden filing cabinet. Sounds simple, but I needed them moved up a very tiny, narrow stairway in a historic Heights home. After scouring the Internet, I decided to book with Vickers Moving because several reviews mentioned them coming through on tough jobs like getting furniture over a balcony. From my first phone call to the end of my move, I was very impressed with Vickers Moving. They showed up early the morning of my move, and were very friendly and patient. When it came time to move my largest desk in, it wouldn't fit up the stairs so the owner ended up coming out himself to assess the situation. They had to come back later that night with more people, but 2 hours, many ropes and 8 movers later my desk was literally hoisted vertically through the stairwell. It was a sight to behold! All in all, I had a great experience and would not hesitate to recommend Vickers. If you are looking for a professional company with a higher end moving experience, not one scratch on my walls or furniture, this is the one.
Questions We Hear a Lot
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.
What will my move cost?
Two things drive it: the size of the load and how easy the access is. Book a truck with two movers and the rate opens at $125/hr, with a written line-item estimate in your hands before the first box moves. Need a firm ceiling? Ask for a flat cap and the figure you sign is as high as the bill can go. When the move crosses state lines, we price it on weight and distance instead.
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.
What if a piece gets damaged?
Thorough padding keeps it rare, but should something take a hit, we record it on the spot and start the claim that same afternoon. Before the job we go over released versus full-value coverage, so you know exactly how any claim would work out.
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.
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.
