If you’re moving inside Harris County — a Heights bungalow to a Montrose loft, a River Oaks brick estate to a Memorial ranch, a Bellaire two-story to a Galleria high-rise — 1st Choice Moving & Storage handles the day with one signed Texas flat figure and the same Kyle-led crew from curb to last carton.
Local rate is $179/hr for two movers plus a truck. A 1-bedroom typically lands near $545, a 2-bedroom near $1,195, and a 3-bedroom near $2,095. Deposit is $215 and credits to the final invoice the moment the truck rolls out of the Spring Branch yard.

Why an in-Loop local crew matters
The I-610 Loop is its own traffic animal. We time inner-Loop drops against the 7–9am and 4–7pm crush windows, run the Galleria freight-dock booking through Amanda the day before, and stage on Long Point Rd so the truck never sits in rush-hour drift on your dime.
Med Center and high-rise COIs
Amanda Russo files the Certificate of Insurance with Galleria building management, the Texas Medical Center freight desk, and the Sugar Land HOA boards 48 hours before the truck arrives. Trent walks the freight-elevator path before the first dolly comes off so the crew isn’t guessing on dock height.

Not included in the local flat
Boxes and packing paper, full-pack labor, piano walk-boards, gun-safe stair-climbers, and storage-in-transit nights at the Spring Branch yard are line-itemed separately. Bryan Hollister prices every add-on in writing before Kyle counter-signs the figure.
