Packing and Unpacking

Full pack, partial pack, or fragile-only packing for Fort Worth homes and offices. Our crew brings the boxes, tape, paper, and wardrobe cartons, wraps every piece of furniture, and labels cartons by room so unpacking moves fast on the other end. Materials are billed only when used and appear as a separate line on your invoice, never as a flat guess. Pack-only jobs typically run $1,164 to $1,943, and moving plus packing on the same day runs $1,322 to $3,128.

Packing Services

Commercial Moving

Office, medical, and retail relocations across Fort Worth, coordinated around your operating hours and building restrictions. Weekend and after-hours crews keep downtime low so your team is back online fast, and every workstation is labeled and mapped before the truck loads. Certificates of insurance are provided at no charge for downtown, Sundance Square, and Alliance-area buildings that require them. Most Fort Worth office moves bill between $665 and $1,267.

Commercial Movers

Piano and Specialty Items

Upright pianos, baby grands, gun safes, artwork, and gym equipment moved with the right dollies, straps, boards, and crew size for the piece. We measure doorways, stairwells, and elevator openings during the walk-through so the day-of path is planned before anyone lifts. Tight historic staircases in Fairmount and narrow service elevators in Alliance-area towers are routine for our crew. Fully insured, with valuation coverage available for high-value pieces.

Labor Only

Book our crew for labor-only loading or unloading of your rental truck, pod, or container anywhere in Fort Worth. Need storage between move dates? We hold your goods in a secure, climate-controlled facility with monthly billing and a full written inventory, so nothing sits in North Texas heat and nothing gets rehandled by a second company. Labor-only typically bills $450 to $825, and warehouse handling runs $326 to $413.

Labor Only Movers

Residential Moving

Apartments, condos, and single-family homes moved across Fort Worth and the wider Tarrant County area. Crews pad-wrap furniture, disassemble and reassemble beds and tables, and protect floors and door frames on both ends. We plan parking and elevator access ahead of time for Downtown high-rises, TCU-area rentals, and narrow Fairmount and Ryan Place streets. Local moves are hourly with no minimum-weight games.

Not-to-Exceed vs Open Hourly in Fort Worth

Neither model is automatically better for every move. Consider more than the advertised starting price when choosing between the two.

Factor Evolution not-to-exceed Open hourly (typical)
Pricing basis Documented belongings, access, and services Crew size and time worked
Best suited to Any local move with a clear inventory, and every long-distance move Very small or unpredictable moves
Traffic and normal delays Do not change the agreed cap Increase total time and total price
Added items or services Requires a revised, approved scope Adds hours, often unannounced
Budget certainty Highest when the inventory is accurate Final price depends on duration
Estimate requirements Video or in-home survey Accurate access and crew planning still matter

Every Move Includes

What’s Included in a Fort Worth Moving Quote?

The written estimate, not a general webpage, controls what is included in an individual move. The standard full-service features below apply to every Evolution local move.

Not included by default: full value protection above basic liability, custom crating, right-of-way permits where a lane closure is required, disposal of unwanted items, and third-party services such as appliance disconnection. Each is priced separately and shown on your estimate before you sign.

What’s Included

Furniture Protection
We wrap every piece for the truck, not just the fragile ones.
  • Couches
  • Chairs
  • Mattresses
  • Bed frames
  • Dressers
  • Tables
  • Shelving units
  • Cabinets
Disassembly & Reassembly
Bed frames, sectionals, table legs, and standard flat-pack furniture are taken apart and rebuilt at the new address. Hardware is bagged, labeled, and taped to the piece it belongs to.
Complimentary Wardrobe Boxes
Wardrobe boxes for the day at no charge on full-service moves. Dish barrels and picture cartons available; you only pay for the ones you keep.
Loading & Unloading
Boxes go to the room on the label and furniture is placed where you want it. We will move a piece twice if the first spot is wrong.
Transportation
Truck, fuel, tolls, and drive time between your two Fort Worth addresses are inside the price. There is no separate trip charge.
Basic Liability Coverage
Every move includes released value protection at $0.60 per pound per article. Full value protection is available as a priced upgrade, explained before you choose.
Moving Equipment
Dollies, four-wheelers, straps, ramps, tool kits, and piano boards travel with the crew. A certificate of insurance for your building is issued at no cost.

Typical Cost

What a Local Fort Worth Move Actually Bills

The card above is the hourly rate. This is what Fort Worth homes of each size have actually billed, measured across 404 local moves, so you can check any estimate against real outcomes before you sign it.

Home size Typical hours Typical total
Studio or one bedroom 3-4 hours $509 --- $836
Two to three bedrooms 4-5 hours $728 --- $1,490
Four bedrooms or more 6-7 hours $1,127 --- $2,786

Before Moving Day

What Fort Worth Requires Before Moving Day

Decide whether the truck needs a permit

On most Fort Worth residential streets the truck parks with no permit, and city code lets an oversized vehicle sit while it is actively loading or unloading. Off residential streets that drops to a two hour cap. Downtown, around Sundance Square, and on the tighter Near Southside blocks, a truck in metered spaces or a marked loading zone needs a temporary street use or meter rental permit, filed through Fort Worth Development Services on the city Accela portal. Tell your coordinator at booking and we file it.

Plan the truck route

I-35W between the Mixmaster and Loop 820 North is the most congested corridor in Tarrant County and backs up most of the day, not just at rush hour, so Stockyards and Northside jobs get an early start. Loop 820 north of I-35W runs heavy toward US-287. I-30 east is unusable on Cowboys and Rangers home dates. Downtown is a one-way grid with low-clearance garages, and Fairmount and Mistletoe Heights depend on street parking that fills by mid-morning.

Confirm building requirements

Ask both buildings about:

  • Certificate of insurance
  • Freight elevator reservations
  • Approved moving hours
  • Loading dock access
  • Protective coverings
  • Move-in or move-out deposits

Describe stairs and access accurately

Fairmount, Mistletoe Heights, and Berkeley Place are pre-war housing with narrow stairs, short driveways, and long carries, and a 26-foot truck often cannot stop at the door. Four-mover jobs are only 47 of our last 702 Fort Worth moves, so if access is the reason you need a bigger crew, say so at the walk-through and it goes into the written price instead of onto the invoice.

Plan for August and month end

Fort Worth turnover peaks in the last two weeks of every month and across the summer. Two dates compress it further: TCU move-in in mid-to-late August, when apartments near campus turn over at the same time, and the Stock Show from January 15 to February 6, 2027, which ties up the Cultural District and Will Rogers parking for three weeks. Book those windows four to six weeks out.

Plan for the heat

From June through September we start at 7 a.m. so the heaviest loading finishes before the afternoon. Heat-sensitive items such as candles, electronics, and vinyl load last and come off first.

Service Area

Fort Worth Neighborhoods and Nearby Cities

The Dooling Street yard runs the whole of Fort Worth plus the surrounding Tarrant, Parker, and Johnson County suburbs. What changes between them is access, not price. The rate card and the two hour minimum are identical in Aledo and in Sundance Square.

Fort Worth ZIP codes in the 761 series, plus surrounding Tarrant County communities. Not sure if you are in range? Call and we will confirm in one minute.

Coverage

Valuation Coverage Options and Prices

Released value coverage is included free on every move. Upgrades are flat fees, not a percentage, and 187 customers bought one in the last six months. The $100 tier is the one most people take, sold 95 times.

Coverage tier Price Protects up to
Worry Free Basic $100 $2,000
Worry Free Plus $200 $5,000
Worry Free Premium $300 $10,000
Worry Free Platinum $1,000 $50,000
Worry Free Platinum $2,500 $100,000

Choose your tier before signing the bill of lading. Ask how owner-packed boxes are treated under each one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Worth Moving Questions

How much do movers cost in Fort Worth?
Local Fort Worth moves start at $160 an hour for two movers and a truck, with a two hour minimum plus travel time. Three movers run $220 and four movers with two trucks run $310. Measured across 404 local jobs here, a studio or one bedroom billed $509 to $836, a two to three bedroom $728 to $1,490, and a four bedroom or larger $1,127 to $2,786.
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Fort Worth?
On most residential streets, no. If the truck must occupy a traffic lane or metered spaces downtown or in Sundance Square, a City of Fort Worth right-of-way permit may be required. We check the address and handle the application when one is needed. Permits are filed through Fort Worth Development Services on the city Accela portal, and we file it for you. City code also caps an oversized truck at two hours on streets that are not zoned residential.
Can you move me into a Downtown or Uptown high-rise?
Yes. Your coordinator reserves the freight elevator, confirms the dock window, and sends a certificate of insurance to your building, usually the same business day. The certificate is the ACORD 25 form naming your property as an additional insured, and freight elevators should be reserved two to three weeks out.
How far ahead should I book Fort Worth movers?
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and a one-hour deposit holds your local date. Month end, mid-to-late August around TCU move-in, and the Stock Show run of January 15 to February 6, 2027 all book four to six weeks out. Mid-month weekdays are the easiest dates to get and the fastest to load.
Can Evolution provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes, at no cost, naming your building and management company. Request it when you book and it is usually issued the same business day.
Can a not-to-exceed price change after booking?
Only if you add items, services, stops, or addresses outside the written scope, and only with your written approval before the extra work is done. Ordinary delays never change it.
Does the quote include packing?
Furniture wrapping and protection are always included. Box packing is a separate line item you can add in full, in part, or for fragile items only.
Do you handle long-distance moves from Fort Worth?
Yes. Flat rate with a guaranteed delivery window, 344 of them in the last six months. Houston and Austin are the most requested lanes out of Fort Worth, at $1,889 to $2,089 and $1,523 to $1,723 for a two to three bedroom home.

Our guides cover what to pack first, how to label boxes so the crew can place them, and what your building will ask for before it lets a truck near the dock.

Evolution Moving Cares

The Team Behind Your Fort Worth Move

Every successful move in Fort Worth begins with the people who make it happen. Our movers are full-time Evolution employees, trained together and dispatched together, not a crew assembled the night before.

Each one completes a two-week training program, passes federal and state background checks, and is drug screened. That is why the damage claim rate sits at 1% across more than 1,200 surveyed moves.

When you work with us, you are working with the same people whose names show up in the reviews above.

Local Information

Moving to Fort Worth?

The numbers people ask us about before they sign a lease.

Inside the city the spread is wide. A one bedroom near Downtown or the Cultural District can cost far more than the same floor plan on the Northside or in far south Fort Worth, and property tax rates vary across Tarrant, Denton, Johnson, Parker, and Wise counties. Budget for the tax line, not just the mortgage.
