How much do movers cost in Irving, TX?

Local Irving moves are normally charged by the hour for a truck and crew, so the total depends on how much you're moving, stairs or lifts at either end, and how much packing you want the crew to do. Long-distance moves out of Irving are priced on shipment weight and mileage. Getting two or three written estimates is the only reliable way to see your real price.

Do I need an interstate mover to leave Texas?

Yes. Any mover crossing a state line must be registered with the FMCSA and carry a USDOT number. For a move that stays inside Texas, a local in-state mover is all you need.

When is the cheapest time to move in Irving?

Midweek dates in the middle of the month, outside the May-to-September peak, are usually the cheapest. Booking three to six weeks ahead also gives you more choice of crews.

How far in advance should I book Irving movers?

Four to six weeks is comfortable for a local move. Allow six to eight weeks for a long-distance move or any move landing on a month-end or summer weekend.

Moving in Irving: local considerations

Irving is located in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area, bordered by the Trinity River and home to the Las Colinas district, a major business and canal front development. The city sits near the intersection of State Highway 183, State Highway 114, and Interstate 635, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport lies within its boundaries, making Irving a frequent destination for corporate relocations.

Irving's housing mixes high rise and mid rise apartments in Las Colinas with single family neighborhoods elsewhere in the city. Because many buildings are part of larger commercial or planned developments, it is worth checking with the property manager or HOA about loading dock access, elevator booking, and any move scheduling requirements before the moving date.

With the airport nearby, Irving sees a steady flow of relocations tied to corporate transfers throughout the year, and many movers try to avoid the peak heat of a Texas summer when possible. Local moves often connect Irving with neighboring Dallas, Fort Worth, and Grapevine, given the shared job market across the metroplex. Confirming these details early tends to make the move day itself much less stressful.

Irving is the 12th largest city we cover in Texas, home to roughly 0.8% of the state's residents, spread over about 67 square miles of land (US Census Bureau Gazetteer, 2023). In areas built at this density, homes are usually a mix of houses and apartments. As a general rule, stairs, narrow streets and parking on move day tend to affect an hourly quote more than the furniture does, so confirm access at both ends with your mover.

What a move in Irving costs

A local move inside Irving is usually quoted hourly: a two- or three-person crew, a truck, and travel time. The size of your home drives the hours, and packing services, stairs, long carries and bulky items such as pianos or safes add to them.

A move from Irving to another state is priced differently, on the weight of your shipment and the distance it travels, plus any packing, storage or specialty handling. Ask every mover for the estimate type in writing: binding, non-binding, or binding not-to-exceed.

Local move or long-distance move?

Staying inside Texas? That’s an in-state move and a local crew can handle it. Crossing the Texas state line makes it an interstate move, which needs a carrier registered with a USDOT number. Our call line routes you to the right kind of mover once you tell us which one you’re doing.

Before you book an Irving mover

Get at least three written estimates so you can compare like with like.
Check the mover’s USDOT or state licence number and current insurance.
Confirm what valuation coverage is included and what an upgrade costs.
Ask how they handle stairs, lifts, long carries and parking at both ends.
Never pay a large deposit in cash before the truck arrives.
