Moving a whole house is a different animal from a quick apartment job: more rooms, more stairs, hardwood and trim to guard, and a garage nobody wants to think about. 1st Priority Movers handles full residential moves across San Antonio on one flat written rate, start to finish.
The homes we move
San Antonio runs from older two-story homes near downtown to far-north master-planned subdivisions — and there are no basements in Texas, so everything is stairs, garages, and elevators. We move all of it and size the crew to the home, not to a one-size truck.
Historic neighborhoods
Two-story homes in King William, Monte Vista, and Alamo Heights — tight staircases, original hardwood, and narrow door frames that need padding and runners.
Master-planned subdivisions
Newer builds in Stone Oak and the far-north Loop 1604 corridor — wide layouts, three-car garages, and Hill Country drives that mean more boxes and a bigger crew. See the full list of suburbs on our service-areas page.
How we protect the house
Floors and trim take the most damage in a careless move, so protection is standard, not an upsell. The crew sets up before the first box moves.
- Floor runners and hardwood pads on the main carry paths
- Door-frame and corner guards at every doorway and turn
- Shrink-wrap and blankets on dressers, sofas, and case goods
- Mattress and TV protection; beds and tables disassembled and rebuilt
- Garage and attic loads included in the plan, not skipped
| Home size | Flat written rate |
|---|---|
| 2-bedroom house | $900–$1,500 |
| 3-bedroom house | $1,700–$2,700 |
| 4-bedroom house | $2,900–$4,200 |
One flat rate for the whole house
We quote a flat written price for the full home — every room, plus the garage and attic — so the number does not climb because the job ran long in the heat. Pianos and climate-controlled storage carry their own clear lines if you need them.
Planning a summer house move
A full house can take most of a day, and a San Antonio summer does not let up. We start residential crews at dawn so the bulk of the load is done before the afternoon heat turns the driveway and the truck box into an oven. If the house move is also a downsize, ask about our senior moving and downsizing help, and request a free flat-rate quote when you are ready to book.
What Our San Antonio Crew Handles
- Crew sized to the home — 2 or 3 movers for full houses
- Hardwood pads, floor runners and door-frame guards as standard
- Shrink-wrap and blankets on all furniture and case goods
- Beds, tables and large furniture disassembled and reassembled
- Garage and attic loads planned into one flat rate
- Dawn starts in summer to beat the Texas heat
- $1M cargo coverage and a flat written price for the whole house
What It Runs
A two-mover team runs $110/hr (two-hour minimum); a three-mover team is $150/hr, and bigger jobs lock one flat figure on paper before we start
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded truck, dollies, shrink wrap and moving blankets — the entire San Antonio job folded into a single Texas rate.
