Evolution is a licensed carrier, not a broker. The company that quotes your move is the company whose crew loads it in San Antonio and carries it into your Pasadena rooms. Brothers Ryan and Cameron Hughey still run the business, and our trucks work Texas lanes every week. No outside long-haul carrier ever touches your load.

San Antonio to Pasadena Movers
Moving from San Antonio to Pasadena
San Antonio to Pasadena movers who load your home and drive it east on I-10 to the Ship Channel side of Houston, where your new street is waiting. A video or in-home walkthrough sets a written ceiling on your price before move day. Call our Parliament Street office or request your quote online.

Gulf-Bound Route
San Antonio to Pasadena Road Notes
Your load leaves San Antonio on I-10 east. It stays on that road through Seguin, Flatonia and Columbus. The slow part waits west of Houston. The Katy Freeway stretch between the Grand Parkway and Eldridge Parkway sits on the 2025 Texas list of most congested road segments. We time departures so the truck clears it before the afternoon rush builds. From there, freeway connectors carry the truck to SH 225 east. Drivers top off fuel on the open stretch so the truck never hunts for diesel in Houston traffic.
At pickup, Tobin Hill is one of San Antonio’s designated historic districts. Exterior changes there need review by the city’s Office of Historic Preservation. So if a sofa will not clear an old front door, the crew takes it apart. Nobody pulls trim or porch rails. At delivery, Pasadena publishes an allowed truck route map built around SH 225, Red Bluff Road, Spencer Highway and Richey Street. Your driver plans the approach on those roads and keeps the residential part to the final few blocks.
Before the truck rolls, your coordinator studies the walkthrough video for tight halls, stair turns and pieces that come apart. That review sets the crew size and decides whether one truck or two makes the trip. We also map where the truck parks at both curbs. Questions from either end go to that same person. See how our San Antonio moving team sets up each job.
Before Your I-10 Run
- Pick a date clear of rodeo weeks
- Skip Strawberry Festival weekend in May
- Plan outdoor unloading for cooler mornings
- Check the zip code evacuation map
- Ask your Pasadena HOA about truck parking
- Check Harris County flood gauges before delivery
- Measure big furniture against new doorways
- Photograph valuable pieces before packing day
Event dates shift each year, so confirm rodeo and festival calendars before booking.

What Will Your San Antonio to Pasadena Move Cost?
Weight drives most of the price on this coastal run. Crew size, truck count and how far the crew carries items at each house come next. Packing, crating and storage add to it only if you ask. After the walkthrough, you get a ceiling in writing. The final bill can land under it but never above it.
| Your home | Approx. load | Team | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,450 to $1,650 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,650 to $1,850 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,850 to $2,350 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, tolls, loading, the I-10 drive and unloading in Pasadena. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

City Snapshot
Sizing Up San Antonio Against Pasadena
Figures in the table come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, so both cities are measured the same way.
| Measure | San Antonio, TX | Pasadena, TX |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 1,479,835 | 149,433 |
| Median household income | $65,056 | $64,927 |
| Median home value | $235,700 | $209,600 |
| Average commute | 24.5 min | 26.6 min |
| Median age | 34.9 | 33.0 |
| State income tax | None | None |
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, retrieved through Data USA.
Incomes in the two cities sit almost level, while Pasadena homes tend to cost a bit less. That means the same budget can stretch to a slightly larger house or a deeper yard. Commutes run a little longer on the Pasadena side, and big employers sit along the Ship Channel. Drive your future route at shift time before you sign a lease or a contract.
One bill the table leaves out is flood insurance. Standard homeowner and renter policies generally exclude flood damage. A new flood policy typically takes 30 days to become active. Price a policy before you commit to a house, and fold that premium into your monthly budget. FEMA explains the flood insurance waiting period.
Pasadena Realities to Plan For
- Chevron Phillips runs its Pasadena Plastics Complex beside the Houston Ship Channel
- Armand Bayou Nature Center covers more than 4,300 acres on Bay Area Boulevard
- Pasadena library branches serve as cooling centers during heat advisories
- City truck enforcement officers are certified DOT inspectors
Leaving San Antonio: Brush First
Clearing the yard before you sell? San Antonio picks up curbside brush twice a year. A door hanger arrives 7 to 10 days before your week. Piles must stay under eight cubic yards, sit within eight feet of the curb and be out by 7 a.m. Monday. Send branches to the city, not onto our truck, since your price follows weight. Sell or donate heavy patio pieces before the walkthrough as well.
Settling into Pasadena: Box Pickup
Unpacking leaves a mountain of cardboard and paper. Pasadena runs heavy trash on Wednesdays, and your garbage day sets the week. Monday and Thursday routes get the first and third weeks; Tuesday and Friday routes get the second and fourth. Large piles must sit curbside by 7 a.m. Monday of that week. On move day, tell the crew where the truck can park and which room gets each box, so nothing lands in the garage by mistake.
Storm Season Plans in Pasadena
Moving in while the Gulf is active? Pasadena tests its 30 outdoor warning sirens every Saturday at noon. A test needs no action. A real alarm means go indoors, and our crew stops work until the all-clear. Text PTXREADY to 77295 before you arrive to get city alerts. If a storm threatens, we keep the load secure and agree on a new date with you.
Rain Bands on the Coast Side
The National Weather Service warns that two feet of moving water can sweep vehicles away. Slow tropical systems soak an area the longest. Our drivers never push a loaded truck through a flooded road; they wait or reroute instead. Inside the trailer, furniture rides in pads and plastic wrap, so a wet walk from the truck to your door leaves upholstery dry. When a storm stalls, your goods wait safely with us until roads reopen.
