McKinney Movers

5.0 on Google · No truck fee · No card fee · No distance charge

Carrying a dresser down the steep front steps of an old house near the McKinney square, or up the stairs of a 2-story home on the west side? Our McKinney movers plan the truck, the padding and the crew for either one. We're locally owned, with a 5.0 rating on Google, and 2 movers with the truck cost $139 an hour, with nothing added for the truck, the card or the distance.

What comes with every McKinney move

The truck is in the rate: Some DFW movers add a truck or travel fee to every booking, and one publishes $99. Ours is already in the hourly rate: a 3-bedroom in Stonebridge Ranch that takes 3 movers and the 26-ft truck 6.5 hours costs 6.5 × $179 = $1,163.50, and nothing on top for the truck or for getting it to you.
No trip fee to McKinney: McKinney, Anna, Melissa and Princeton are all in our service area, so there's no fee to bring the crew to you. Billing starts when they arrive at your door.
No card fee: One DFW mover publishes a 2.5% card fee, which on a $1,642.50 move would be $41.06 more. We take Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Google Pay and Apple Pay at the cash price.
A crew lead runs your move: Every McKinney move has a crew lead who brings a crew and truck of their own, tours the house with you from the front steps to the back bedroom, and works from your written proposal.
On time on moving day: Title companies set closing times and leasing offices hand out elevator slots, so your crew is there on time.
Booked right away: You don't wait days for a price. Average-size apartments book online in minutes, and we usually send a McKinney house its written proposal within 30 minutes.

5 things that slow down an apartment move

What to sort out with your leasing office before moving day.

Historic Downtown McKinney and the west-side HOAs

The streets around the historic square, where the old Collin County courthouse has stood since the 1870s, are narrow; many houses nearby are older, and parking can be tight when the square is busy. Older homes often have steep front steps and small doorways. We plan for that: a smaller truck where it helps, extra padding for door frames, and furniture taken apart and reassembled when a piece won't turn a corner.

West McKinney is mostly master-planned communities such as Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch, where the TPC Craig Ranch golf course is, with HOAs, wide driveways and 2-story homes; a 26-ft truck usually fits in the driveway. Trinity Falls, in the north of the city, is newer still. Send us the HOA's truck and pod rules, plus any gate or guard-house instructions, and we plan the crew and the truck around them. An HOA street adds no fee: there's no long-carry fee when the truck has to park down the block.

Where in McKinney we move

Every part of McKinney, from the historic square to the master-planned west side, Trinity Falls and the newer subdivisions east of US-75, plus Allen, Frisco, Prosper, Fairview, Princeton, Anna and Melissa.

McKinney area by area

Around the square: tight parking on weekends.
West side: newer homes and apartments, many with garages and HOAs.
East McKinney: newer subdivisions with wide streets and builder traffic on weekdays.
Narrow lanes: where homes sit close to the street, the 16-ft truck may fit better.

Anna and Melissa

Up US-75, Anna and Melissa have many new builds, and closing dates can move. We serve both with no distance charge.

Princeton

Princeton sits east of McKinney on US-380 and has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, so many moves there are into brand-new subdivisions. Expect unfinished streets and builder traffic, and send us the HOA's move-in rules. Princeton is in our service area: hourly rate only, no distance charge.

Headed to Allen, Frisco or Plano instead? See our Allen movers, Frisco movers and Plano movers: one hourly rate everywhere in our service area, and no distance charge between cities.

Moving in or out of a McKinney apartment community?

Many newer apartment communities in McKinney sit along US-75 and SH-121, with elevators or breezeway stairs and assigned parking. Each one writes its own move-in rules, and a few phone calls to the leasing office save time on moving day:

Book the elevator, or ask which stairwell is closest to your unit
Reserve a spot near your building's entrance where a moving truck can stand
Ask about quiet hours and whether moves are allowed on weekends

Pass those rules on with your quote request, and our apartment movers in McKinney fit the crew, the truck and the parking to them. Breezeway stairs cost nothing extra; there's no stair fee, only the time they take. Your furniture gets wrapped in moving pads before it goes out the door.

Online booking is built for an average apartment. In McKinney that's usually a studio or 1-bedroom moved by 2 movers with the 16-ft truck. If your place holds more than most, like an upright piano, a packed storage room or a solid-wood armoire, ask for an exact quote or call (214) 204-7224 so the price matches your things.

What McKinney moves usually look like

As residential movers in McKinney, we spend most days on west-side houses: 4 movers, a 26-ft truck and most of a day. Historic-district moves are smaller but slower per item, with narrow stairs and old doorways. Apartment moves along US-75 are usually 2 or 3 movers and wrap up in 3–5 hours. Every one of those moves is billed at the same hourly rate, with the truck included.

Before you move to McKinney

Electricity in McKinney depends on the street: much of the city is in the Oncor area, where you choose a retail plan, while some areas on the edges are served by electric co-ops such as Grayson-Collin Electric, which serves rural Grayson and Collin counties, mainly north of US-380. In a co-op area you can't pick a provider. Ask your builder or seller which one serves your address. About two-thirds of McKinney is in McKinney ISD; the rest is in Frisco, Prosper, Allen, Melissa, Lovejoy or Celina ISD.

The city's trash and recycling pickup is run with Frontier Waste Solutions. Flattened boxes go loose in the blue recycling cart, and bulky items are picked up by appointment, booked through the city's Waste Wizard. Or book a haul-away load with your move.

Yes, at the same hourly rate, with no distance charge.

Does a Sunday move in McKinney cost more?

No. Weekend moves are billed at the weekday rate, and there's no weekend fee.

Yes. We hold a Texas DMV household goods licence, and our coverage is all the insurance Texas law requires, plus cargo insurance.
