Best moving companies in Denton, Texas

King Moving Co. is the best overall Denton moving company

King Moving Co. is a family-owned business that started in 1995. It originally focused on moving antiques and fine art. Over the years, the company has grown to help thousands of renters and homeowners across North Texas with moving services. The team is experienced in handling large or delicate items, like a baby grand piano, big televisions or a barbecue smoker.

We received a detailed quote by email for a standard 1,500 square-foot home. King Moving Co. charges $169 per hour for a three-person crew and one truck, plus a $179 base fee to cover travel time and fuel. The company requires a minimum of 1.5 hours, so you can expect to pay at least $432.50. This means the cost for a typical six to eight-hour move ranges from $1,193 to $1,531.

The company accepts cash and debit or credit card payments, but does not take checks or money orders. There is a flat $5 fee for all card payments. The company requires a deposit equal to the base fee on your quote. In our example, the deposit cost is $179. It's fully refundable up to 48 hours before your move, 75% refundable up to 24 hours before and 25% refundable on moving day, minus any costs that you've already spent.

Services offered

• Local and statewide residential moves

• Commercial moves

• Specialty and oversized item moves

• Furniture disassembly and reassembly

• Junk removal

Your move includes furniture padding at no extra cost if it's returned the same day. Rental boxes are available for $5 each on moving day. All King Moving Co. movers are full-time employees who have passed background checks and completed training. The team has completed over 3,500 moves with a 98.6% customer satisfaction rating, according to its website.

It holds an A+ rating and accreditation with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with no complaints and a strong reputation across review platforms. Customers gave King Moving Co. a 4.9-star average on Google (325 reviews), a 4.9 on Yelp (398 reviews) and a 5.0 on Angi (693 reviews).

Einstein Moving Company is the best for statewide moves

Einstein Moving Company started with two childhood friends, Paul Morin and Cameron Brown, who wanted to give the moving industry a refresh. The two founders grew up together and were roommates at Texas A&M University. After trying other business ideas, their part-time moving job inspired the start of Einstein Moving Company. Today, it has 14 years of experience under its belt and landed in a top spot on our list of the best movers in Denton.

We called for an estimate, and a friendly Einstein Moving representative answered the phone. The Einstein representative asked basic questions about the move, including the size of the home, how many stories, the distance from parking to the front door and addresses of each location. After a few minutes on hold with "I'm On Hold" by Alex Cornell playing in the background, we received a detailed quote by phone.

Einstein Moving estimated the cost at $1,650 to $1,850 with two movers working for about six to eight hours. Since our move was more than 10 miles away from the branch, this quote includes the $150 travel fee. Short-distance moves don't require this fee.

This total is based on the company's rate of $100 per hour per mover, so $200 per hour for this move. You only pay for the time actually used and time is prorated in 15-minute intervals with a two and a half hour minimum. So, you'll pay at least $500 for a move similar to ours.

Services offered

• Statewide and local residential moving

• Office moving

• Packing services

• Storage services

There's no deposit required to book with Einstein Moving. You can only pay by card; it doesn't accept cash or checks. There's no added fee for paying by card. All movers are fully background checked and receive professional training. Einstein adds a personal touch by sending an email with photos and names of your crew so you know exactly who's coming to your home.

Einstein Moving has great review scores across platforms with a 4.9 on Google (954 reviews), a 4.8 on Yelp (226 reviews) and a 4.9 on Angi (63 reviews). It's not a BBB-accredited business , but it still has an A+ rating and only one complaint in the past three years.

Its branch location is at 13213 Senlac Dr., Farmers Branch, Texas, 75234. Einstein's hours are from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends. Call 214-299-8001, email northdallas@einsteinmoving.com or get an online estimate at its website.

Customer testimonial

We had an excellent experience with Einstein! They were fast and took great care. Nothing was damaged. All of our other moves have been corporate with national companies and Einstein was better! They even took extra care to put beds back together correctly, which is often a problem with moves. And it ended up being less than the quote! So glad we found them on Yelp. Shout out to Frankie, Johnnie, Cole and Clark. They were professional, personable and went the extra mile. - Eleonora S., Google Reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Firehouse Movers is a firefighter-owned moving company based in Lewisville with about 20 years of experience.

The company was founded by former firefighter Brian Purce and co-owned with his wife, Nikki Purcell.

When you contact Firehouse Movers, a representative will gather details about your home and the items you need moved before connecting you with a moving consultant to complete the estimate.

The company expects the move to take six to eight hours with a three-person crew. The time starts when the moving crew arrives, and it comes with blankets, dollies and any other equipment needed for a smooth move.

There's no deposit required and you can pay by cash, check, credit or debit card. Paying by credit card adds a 1.5% processing fee. The only additional charge you might have is if you request rental boxes, which cost $9.

All Firehouse Movers are in-house employees with complete background checks and proper training. The company doesn't use any day laborers, which adds peace of mind about who is entering your home.

BLVD Moving is the best national moving company

Yahoo Local is all about giving people the info they need to make confident decisions. We love putting the spotlight on local businesses, but sometimes a national moving company might be a better fit — it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're deciding between the two, check out our guide to local versus national movers . If you're going national, BLVD Moving is our top choice .

BLVD Moving was founded in 2000 and is run by a crew with decades of experience in the moving world. It only has four California locations, but it handles both local and long-distance relocations across the U.S. It's a family-owned, independent company that operates its own trucks and hires its own movers. Even so, the terms mention it may work with subcontractors or third-party agents for some jobs, something that's pretty standard when demand is high.

We reached out to BLVD Moving for a quote on a 500-mile move involving around 1,340 cubic feet of belongings, or roughly the amount you'd expect for a three-bedroom home without large appliances. The price came in at about $6,700, which is similar to what other national movers typically charge. To book the job, it asks for a 33% deposit, with half of the remaining cost due at pickup. The rest is paid when your items are delivered.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance moves

• Residential and commercial relocations

• Office transition services

• Professional packing assistance

• Storage options

• Flexible financing

If you need to cancel, BLVD Moving offers a full refund of your deposit as long as you cancel at least two full business days before the scheduled pickup. Its delivery window runs from two to 21 business days, depending on distance. That timeline starts from your preferred delivery date, so once you're ready to receive everything, you might wait a little over a month.

It recommends booking your move about a month in advance — or earlier if you're planning to move during peak times like summer or around the beginning or end of the month. (You can also read our full guide on the best and worst times to move .) Getting a quote is simple — either schedule a virtual walkthrough or fill out an inventory form online to speed things up. BLVD also offers financing to those who qualify, with interest rates starting at 0%.

BLVD Moving is accredited by the BBB and holds an A- rating. It has 80 complaints on file — which may sound high, but it's typical for a company operating on a national scale. It has a 4.3-star rating on Google (963 reviews) and a 2.3-star average on Yelp (349 reviews). All of its movers are actual employees who've passed background checks.

Its main office is located at 21622 Plummer St., Chatsworth, Calif., 91311. The company is open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time. You can reach BLVD Moving at 844-274-0500 or visit its website to request a quote.

Customer testimonial

Black Ops Moving & Delivery is the best for local hero discounts

Black Ops Moving & Delivery started when founder Dillon Bramblitt discovered a love for moving while finishing his degree at the University of North Texas. He found it more rewarding than a typical desk job and decided to turn his passion into a local business along with his wife, Bailey Bramblitt.

When we called for details, Dillon answered the phone and took time to clearly explain the process. He shared the quote, went over important move details and followed up with a text to confirm everything.

Black Ops estimated our move to take between six and six and a half hours. This was one of the most precise time frames we received, showing the team's focus on working quickly while still treating your belongings with care.

The hourly rate is $205 for a three-person crew and one truck. The price includes everything you need, such as fuel, dollies and protective padding. There's a two-hour minimum, so you will pay at least $410. After that, you only pay for the actual time it takes for the move.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance residential moves

• In-house moving support

• Storage

• Loading and unloading

• Commercial moves

There's no deposit required to book. You can pay by cash, credit card or Zelle. There's a 3.5% fee for card payments. Black Ops also offers a 10% discount for military, police, fire and other emergency service workers. If you have any leftover non-perishable pantry items, you can box them up, and Black Ops will take the donation to the North Texas Food Bank.

While there aren't as many total customer reviews available, the company has consistently high ratings across platforms with a 4.9 on Google (289 reviews), 4.9 on Yelp (37 reviews) and 5 on Angi (2 reviews). It's not BBB accredited and doesn't have a rating, reviews or any complaints. The company says it performs an extensive background check and drug test for every employee.

The main office is at 585 Bennett Lane, Lewisville, Texas, 75057. It's open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. Black Ops is closed on Sunday. You can call or text 469-344-9544 or submit an online estimate request .

Would highly recommend Black Ops Moving and Delivery to anyone in the DFW area.

On time, professional and courteous. - Craig C., Google Reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Denton moving FAQs

What info should you have when requesting an estimate?

Have your current and new addresses ready when you reach out for a moving estimate. Most companies will also ask for your moving date, home size, any delicate items you want to move and about the parking situation at your home. Some movers may ask for a complete inventory or for details about the garage and attic space.

None of the movers on this list required a site survey to provide an estimate. Before calling for a quote, consider what additional services you might need, such as packing, unpacking, storage or supplies. This information helps your quote be as accurate as possible since these items increase the total cost.

What should you know about packing and storage in Denton?

With Denton's hot summers and mild winters, you'll want to keep your packed boxes in a cool and dry spot before your move. Use sturdy boxes and wrap any fragile items for protection. Denton moving companies, such as Eagle Movers, offer temperature-controlled storage , in case your move-out and move-in dates don't match. 

What's different about condo and apartment moving in Denton?

Condo and apartment moving requires a few extra considerations, such as elevator access and parking availability. You may have to reserve the elevator ahead of time with your apartment building and provide proof of insurance from your mover for potential damage. Parking in busy areas, like around the University of North Texas or downtown, can be super tight. Check if your building has specific rules or parking options to avoid delays or days of frustration. 

Do you need moving permits or licenses to move in Denton?

In most cases, you won't need a special moving permit to move belongings within or to Denton. The main event where you do need a permit is if you're moving an entire house into or out of the city. However, we still recommend checking with your homeowners' association to know if there are specific rules in your neighborhood about parking or moving permits. 

You can check out more in our guide to Texas moving company licensing and regulations . 

How much should you tip movers in Denton?

Tipping your moving crew is optional in Denton. It's a nice way to show you appreciate service, but it isn't a requirement. If you plan to tip, we suggest between 10% and 20% of the total cost. You might tip closer to the 20% if the team had to handle heavy items, go up and down stairs, or work in extreme heat. For more information, check out our guide to tipping movers .
