Local moves in Houston: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Houston: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $733.

| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $297 – $545 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Texas: hand movers there earn a median $18.05 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $37–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book Royal Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1719378
Royal Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1719378. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Royal Movers's 3 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (33.3%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Houston at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,394 – $9,858. A surveyed, written estimate from Royal Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
