Moving Services in Galveston, TX

Every move is different, so we offer a menu of services that can be mixed and matched. Choose full-service support, or keep it simple with help where you need it most.

Local Moving in Galveston

Local moves may be shorter in distance, but they still require good planning—especially when you’re coordinating building access, tight stairways, or limited parking. Our crew arrives prepared to protect floors, wrap furniture, and keep the day moving efficiently.

Long-Distance and Interstate Moving

Moving from Galveston to another Texas city—or out of state—requires consistent timelines and careful inventory management. Star Van Lines helps coordinate loading, transportation, and delivery so your move stays organized from pickup to drop-off.

Apartment and Condo Moves

Apartments and condos often come with details that can slow a move down: elevator reservations, narrow hallways, time windows, and specific loading zones. We’ll help you plan around building rules and minimize disruption. If you’re moving into (or out of) a multi-story unit, we’ll account for stairs and access during your free quote calculation.

Commercial and Office Moving

Office moves require speed and structure. We can help relocate desks, chairs, filing systems, and equipment with a plan that reduces downtime. If you need after-hours or weekend scheduling, we’ll discuss options based on your building’s requirements and your business needs.

Packing and Unpacking Services

Packing is where most moving-day damage happens—usually because items are boxed too loosely or without the right materials. We offer packing and unpacking services to protect dishes, glassware, electronics, artwork, and everyday essentials. Want to pack yourself? We can still provide guidance and packing supplies.

Loading and Unloading (Labor-Only)

Already have a truck or portable container? Star Van Lines can provide labor-only movers to load, unload, or rearrange heavy furniture safely. This is also a great option if you’re moving within a building or just need help with the big items.

Moving and Storage Options

Sometimes your move-in and move-out dates don’t line up. We can help coordinate short-term or longer-term storage solutions so your belongings stay protected until you’re ready for delivery.

Specialty Items and Heavy Furniture

Large furniture, safes, pianos, and oversized items need extra care, the right equipment, and proper wrapping. Tell us what you’re moving during the quote step so we can plan for safe handling and the correct crew size.

What Your Move May Cost and What Affects Pricing

When people search for movers in Galveston TX, the next question is almost always: “How much will it cost?” The best answer comes from your real details—not generic ranges. That’s why we encourage a free quote calculation based on your home, access, and service needs.

Here are the biggest factors that influence moving costs:

• Home size and inventory (studio vs. 3-bedroom, number of large pieces, volume of boxes)
• Distance and travel time (local vs. long-distance routes)
• Stairs, elevators, and long carries (how far movers must carry items to the truck)
• Packing needs (full packing, partial packing, fragile-only packing, supplies)
• Specialty items (pianos, safes, oversized furniture, delicate pieces)
• Access and parking (tight driveways, street parking, restricted loading areas)
• Timing (weekends, peak dates, tight deadlines, required delivery windows)

Checklist for an accurate free quote calculation

To get the most accurate estimate, have these details ready:

How Our Galveston Moving Process Works

Star Van Lines follows a simple, repeatable process designed to reduce stress and avoid last-minute surprises.

1. Free quote calculation Share basic move details and get an initial estimate quickly.

2. Plan and schedule We confirm the scope—services, access notes, special items, timing—and lock in a schedule that fits your needs.

3. Packing and preparation If you choose packing services, we’ll pack room-by-room with the right materials. If you’re packing yourself, we can advise on protecting fragile items and labeling boxes for faster setup.

4. Moving day arrival and walkthrough The crew arrives, reviews key instructions, and identifies items needing extra protection. We focus on safe handling from the start.

5. Loading and transport Furniture is wrapped and secured. Boxes are stacked for stability, and the truck is loaded to reduce shifting in transit.

6. Unloading and placement We place items where you want them, reassemble basic furniture as needed (when applicable), and help you confirm everything arrived in good condition.

7. Final walkthrough You check the space and inventory, and we make sure nothing is missed before closing out the move.

Tips for a Smooth Move in Galveston

Galveston has its own rhythm—coastal conditions, seasonal traffic, and areas with tighter parking. A few practical steps can make moving day noticeably easier:

• Plan parking early. If you’re near busy streets or popular areas, reserve space or coordinate a clear loading zone where possible.
• Label boxes by room and priority. Mark essentials separately (kitchen basics, bedding, chargers, toiletries).
• Pack for humidity and coastal air. Use sturdy boxes, seal liquids carefully, and protect electronics and sensitive items with proper padding.
• Take photos of connections and setups. Quick pictures of TV cables, desks, and appliances save time later.
• Keep valuables and documents with you. Important paperwork, jewelry, medications, and small electronics should travel in your personal bag.
• Confirm building rules. If you’re in a condo or apartment, ask about elevator scheduling and move-in time windows before moving day.
