Carrollton is one of the few cities in Texas that spans three counties, Dallas, Denton, and Collin. The city sits on Interstate 35E about 14 miles north of downtown Dallas. Carrollton was incorporated in 1913, though the area was first settled in the 1840s, and it has grown to more than 133,000 residents, making it the 27th most populous city in Texas. Historic Downtown Carrollton, also known as Carrollton Square, still holds the small town feel of the original railroad town, and the city is served by DART light rail, including the Green Line and Silver Line, connecting residents to Dallas Love Field, DFW Airport, and downtown Dallas.
Our uniformed, background checked movers cover all of Carrollton. We never broker your move out to another company, and we never bring in day labor. The movers who give your quote are the same movers who show up on moving day.

Why two Carrollton moves with the same size home can cost different amounts. It usually is not the square footage. A one story home in an established neighborhood where the truck parks right at the driveway moves fast. A home near Historic Downtown Carrollton with a narrow street and no direct parking, or an apartment near a DART station with a reserved elevator window, takes more time. Access changes the price more than room count does. Tell us your street and your parking situation when you request an estimate.
How you pay. Our rates are generally quoted with a cash or check discount. We accept credit cards, but the discount does not apply to card payments. A service deposit is due at booking. Your written estimate is what counts.
