Long-distance moving all across the United States. Experienced and insured, residential and commercial.
No two Dallas moves are the same. A family relocating from Uptown to Frisco has different needs than a business moving its office out of the Arts District, and someone navigating a townhome in Oak Lawn faces different challenges than someone moving out of a high-rise in Downtown Dallas. Coastal Moving Services covers residential, long distance, same-day, commercial, and professional packing under one roof, with a single point of contact who coordinates everything on your behalf.
We work with a vetted network of licensed, insured moving companies serving Dallas and the greater DFW metro area. When you request a free moving quote, we evaluate your specific situation, including move size, distance, timeline, building type, and any special items, then connect you with the movers best suited for the job. You get transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and a dedicated coordinator available through every stage of your move.
Local and in-state household moves handled with full-service care across Dallas and the surrounding communities. Whether you are leaving a Lakewood apartment or a Plano single-family home, our movers bring the equipment, experience, and attention your belongings deserve.
Interstate and cross-country moves coordinated from your Dallas pickup to final delivery. We connect you with DOT-licensed carriers who specialize in long-haul transport, with clear timelines and binding estimates so there are no surprises on arrival.

Dallas moving costs vary based on the size of your home, the neighborhood or suburb you are moving within or between, drive distances across the DFW metro, and whether packing services are included. Local moves within the Dallas area are priced hourly, while long-distance moves out of Dallas are typically quoted as a flat binding estimate based on weight and mileage. Getting an accurate number early helps you plan your budget and avoid surprises on moving day.
| Home Size | Estimated Cost | Crew |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $300 – $560 | 2 movers |
| 1 Bedroom | $480 – $850 | 2 movers |
| 2 Bedrooms | $720 – $1,350 | 3 movers |
| 3 Bedrooms | $1,050 – $1,900 | 3 movers |
| 4+ Bedrooms | $1,550 – $2,900 | 4 movers |
Hourly rates across Dallas typically run between $90 and $160 for a two to three person crew, with Uptown and Preston Hollow on the higher end due to larger home sizes, gated community access requirements, and longer drive times to northern suburbs like Frisco and Allen. Interstate moves originating in Dallas start around $1,700 and increase based on shipment weight, distance, and whether storage-in-transit is needed along the way.
Moving in Dallas involves logistical challenges that simply do not exist in most other markets. Understanding these factors before you book helps you compare quotes accurately and avoid unexpected charges on moving day.
The Dallas-Fort Worth metro is one of the largest land-area metros in the country, and drive time between pickup and delivery is one of the primary cost variables on any hourly move. A relocation from Oak Cliff to McKinney or from Garland to Las Colinas can involve 40 to 60 minutes of transit each direction under normal conditions, and movers bill portal-to-portal in most cases. Choosing a crew based in or near your origin neighborhood is one of the most effective ways to reduce billable transit time on a local Dallas move.
A Certificate of Insurance is increasingly required by managed apartment communities, luxury high-rise buildings, and HOA-governed developments across Dallas, particularly in Uptown, Downtown, and the Medical District. COI requirements specify minimum liability coverage amounts, and some buildings also require the property management company to be listed as an additional insured. Confirm these requirements with your building or HOA at least two weeks before your scheduled move date.
Dallas has a high concentration of gated communities, secure parking garages, and controlled-access residential developments, particularly in Highland Park, University Park, and the northern suburbs. Moving trucks often cannot enter these properties without advance coordination with the homeowners association or property management, and some require scheduled access windows that limit flexibility on move day. Confirming gate codes, guard protocols, and loading zone availability well ahead of your move date prevents costly delays and rescheduling fees.
Traffic on Dallas's core corridors — I-35E, I-635 (LBJ Freeway), US-75, and the Dallas North Tollway — builds quickly during morning and evening rush hours and can add 30 to 60 minutes of transit time to moves crossing through central Dallas or heading to the northern suburbs. Moves that begin or end between 7 and 9 AM or 4 and 6:30 PM are most exposed to delays. Starting your move before 7:30 AM on a weekday, or opting for a Saturday morning start, keeps transit time predictable and total cost in check.
Dallas is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country, which means moving demand stays strong year-round with less seasonal relief than slower-growth markets. Summer months from May through August represent peak season when crew availability tightens and rates climb, driven largely by corporate relocations and the large volume of job transfers into the DFW area. Moving mid-month on a weekday between October and March gives you the best access to competitive pricing, crew availability, and lighter freeway traffic throughout the metro.
Professional packing is quoted separately and priced based on the number of rooms, the volume of fragile items, and whether specialty crating is needed for artwork, mirrors, or antiques. Partial packing, where movers handle only breakables and high-value items, is a cost-effective option for many Dallas residents moving on a tighter timeline. Unpacking at your destination is also available and can be added at the time of booking.
Your quote explains crew size, hourly or flat rate, any minimums, travel/fuel if used, packing materials, and the assumptions we’re planning around stairs, elevator or dock time, driveway length, and how far a truck can park from the door.
Save more: Pack some rooms yourself or choose fragile-only; label clearly; share building or HOA rules early so we can secure the best time slot.
Most local Dallas moves fall into a predictable range shaped by home size, packing level, parking, and access. Ground-floor apartments move faster than multi-story homes or gated communities. Your written quote shows the full breakdown before you approve.
Some Dallas high-rises and managed properties especially in Uptown, Downtown, and Deep Ellum require a mover’s Certificate of Insurance (COI) and scheduled service-elevator access. We handle all building communication, send the COI in advance, and confirm your time slot for move day.
Yes, often. Many Dallas communities like Las Colinas, Highland Park, and Plano have HOA or gated-entry requirements. Share your management contact, forms, and codes, and we’ll coordinate directly to keep your schedule intact.
From Uptown’s tight apartment garages to suburban cul-de-sacs in Frisco or Plano, we plan where the truck will stage and how far items must travel. For condos or towers, we coordinate with the building’s elevator schedule and confirm loading areas ahead of time.

Special pieces deserve a deliberate approach. When you tell us about pianos, large safes, fine art, hot tubs with proper access, or gym equipment, we plan the route in and out of the home, protect floors and doorways, and bring the right equipment. If crating is the safest option for a glass or marble top, we will recommend it and include it in your written plan.

Will you handle my building or HOA paperwork?
Yes. Many Dallas condos and high-rises, especially in Uptown and Downtown require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and reserved elevator access. We handle all coordination with your property manager to ensure move-day approval.

In dense areas like Downtown, Uptown, or Deep Ellum, yes it’s often helpful to reserve space or obtain a temporary “No Parking” permit. We’ll advise based on your address and handle timing for proper staging.
Do you handle gated communities or suburban neighborhoods?
Absolutely. Many areas like Plano, Frisco, and McKinney have gated entries or HOA requirements. We confirm gate codes, entry access, and truck size restrictions before your scheduled date.

Can I pack some rooms myself?
Definitely. You can save by choosing partial or fragile-only packing. We’ll supply materials and integrate your self-packed rooms into our plan for efficient loading.
