San Marcos Movers
San Marcos is home to Texas State University, so May and August bring thousands of student moves at once, and the apartment complexes near campus fill their move-in calendars fast. We book early, plan parking, and keep student moves short and simple.
Your crew comes from our Austin team, about 35 minutes south on I-35. You get the same trained movers and rate card as our Austin movers, and you can add labor only help or summer storage to the same quote.
Leaving San Marcos after graduation, or moving the family to another state? You get one flat price in writing before load day, built from crew hours, miles, and any overnight stop. Your things ride on our own truck with our own movers, never a shared load. The crew that loads in San Marcos unloads at your new home whenever the route allows. Ask about a dedicated truck for a set delivery day.
Long Distance Movers
Packing up an apartment between finals and graduation is stressful. Our packers bring new boxes, paper, tape, and wardrobe cartons, wrap dishes and electronics one by one, and label every box by room. Families in larger homes can choose a full pack or just the kitchen, and we can unpack at the new place and take the empty boxes away. Books go in small boxes so they stay easy to lift.
Packing Services
Shops, offices, and clinics near the square, along I-35, and around the outlet malls can move without losing a workday. We plan around your hours, send night or weekend crews when needed, and tag desks, stock, and computers by room. One coordinator runs the whole job, so your team or your customers barely notice the move. Free certificates of insurance come with every job.
Commercial Movers
Pianos, gun safes, and heavy furniture need the right gear and a careful crew, especially in third-floor walk-ups near campus. We bring piano boards, padded straps, and extra movers, and we check every stairwell and doorway before move day. Your heavy pieces arrive safe, and your walls, railings, and floors stay protected. Tuning after the move is up to your piano tech.
Piano Movers
Rented a truck to move out of a campus apartment? Our labor only crew loads or unloads it for you anywhere in San Marcos, with dollies, pads, and straps included. We pack the truck tight so nothing shifts on I-35. Short student jobs often fit inside the two hour minimum, which keeps the cost low for students and parents. Boxes should be packed and taped before we arrive.
Labor Only Movers
Going home for the summer or studying abroad? We pick up your things in San Marcos, keep them wrapped in secure storage, and deliver when the new lease starts. Store for a few weeks or a few months. Storage is billed by the month, usually $550 to $1,200 depending on space, and every charge is on your written quote from the start. Pickup and delivery use the same crew.

Before Moving Day
Book student dates early
Texas State move-out in May and move-in in August fill our calendar fast. Book four to six weeks ahead for those weeks.
Check apartment rules
Complexes near campus often set move-in times and parking spots. Ask your leasing office before move day.
Plan for the river
Summer weekends bring tubers to the San Marcos River, and nearby streets fill with traffic and parking.
Know your route
I-35 runs through town and backs up between San Marcos and Austin. Early starts keep the day on track.
Measure for walk-ups
Many student apartments are walk-ups with tight stairwells. Share photos so we bring the right crew size.
Beat the heat
Summer days pass 100 degrees. Our crews start early and load heat-sensitive items last.
