Top Local Moving Companies for Your Next Move in Dallas

By Steven Thomas | Refind Realty

Hi, I’m Steven Thomas with Refind Realty. One of the most common questions I get from clients—especially those relocating or moving across DFW—is: “Do you know any good movers?”

Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or heading to a new neighborhood, having the right moving company can make all the difference. I've helped dozens of families relocate, and I've seen first-hand which moving companies show up on time, treat your belongings with care, and make the process smooth from start to finish.

Here are some of the top local moving companies I recommend to clients in the Dallas area.

Moving Tips I Share with Every Client

Beyond picking the right mover, here are a few things I always advise:

• Book early: Especially in spring and summer, movers book up fast. As soon as your home is under contract, start calling.

• Declutter first: Don’t pay to move what you don’t use. Clean out closets before packing.

• Label everything: Use a sharpie and mark boxes by room. It'll save hours on move-in day.

• Create a moving checklist: I cover this and more in my Home Seller Checklist to make sure you’re prepared.

Moving Into a New Build?

Many of my clients moving into new construction homes across Dallas-Fort Worth ask for movers who can also help with temporary storage while waiting on completion. That’s where companies like Firehouse Movers or AB Moving come in handy. If you’re shopping for new builds, check out these resources:
