Methodology

Sources & Methodology

Cost figures are Moving Company Guys' own published DFW rates, based on thousands of local home moves as a licensed Texas carrier (USDOT 3918729 · TxDMV 009567347C). Square-footage and time ranges assume a move-ready home on typical access; actual quotes depend on volume, stairs and distance. Updated 2026-07-03.

FAQ

House Moving Cost — FAQ

How much does it cost to move a 3-bedroom house in DFW?

A 3-bedroom house typically runs $1,200–$1,800 for a local Dallas–Fort Worth move — a 3–4 mover crew, a 26-ft truck, and 6–8 hours at our flat rates. Full packing, stairs and specialty items add to that.

How many movers do I need for a house move?

Two movers for a studio or 1-bedroom, three for a 2-bedroom, three to four for a 3-bedroom, and four to five for larger homes. More movers finish faster, which often costs about the same.
