I cannot reccomend this moving company enough. We just used ironback movers for a full service move from Houston to San Fransisco. I interviewed about 6 moving companies and right away from talking with Abner I felt comfortable. Other moving companies were very persistent, trying to sell me, and seemed dishonest. Abner was very responsive and straight forward but did not contact me again after initial quote until I decided to go with him. He garunteed pick up date and arrival date (and time and was 10 minutes early each time!) which was huge for us as our move had to be very scheduled and other companies quoted us a 2 week interval (or more!) of when our items would be delivered. His crew in Houston arrived and packed our entire apartment, included disassembling basic items. They were extremely professional and efficient. Every item even valuable and breakable items arrived in perfect condition. He met us in San Fransisco 5 days later and him and two others unloaded all our boxes and assembled any dissassembled items. Again very professional and efficient. Iron back movers turned what could have been a very stressful move into 0 stress. Abner was extremely hardworking, professional, and easy to work with as was every member of his team. We hope we can use him for any future moves even though we are no longer in Houston! read more

4.5 stars. A friend who moved out of a 4 story town home recommended iron-back movers so we decided to use them since we were moving out of a 3 story town home. They were very responsive when we inquired (via text) and I liked that they charged per hour based on the number of movers you requested. We scheduled the moving date, signed a contract, and were ready to go! On moving day, the movers arrived promptly and they were so quick in moving everything! within two hours everything had been moved out of our townhome! It took them another hour and a half to move everything to the new place. Very impressed! They also wrapped certain pieces of furniture for us and disassembled as well as assembled others. Cost was reasonable as well. I would say they are more cost efficient compared to other movers we had inquired. Overall we had a good experience with iron/back movers and would use them again for our next move! read more

Well, it's 8 years later and my opinion hasn't changed. Iron back movers are still great. We had Miguel and his crew. It was a very long day and a very stuffed truck, those guys rocked and rolled, and even towards the end the general camraderie and upbeatness was nice to see. Since I made my original review, we had them move us again, and they moved my parents, my best friend, and have done some small moving for my IL in their home. No one has had any issue, they show up when they say they're going to, communicate well, can handle small to big jobs, and they work hard and do a great job. I didn't really bother with anyone else in terms of quotes, but based on what we were charged a number of years ago, pricing remains reasonable. Thank you guys! read more

I cannot say enough good things about iron back movers. Their team showed up and went right to work. They wrapped everything and took such good care of everything it was amazing. They took stuff from my house to my storage room. I had stuff in there already. They move stuff around. Wrapped stuff I already had to ensure nothing would get damaged. They will be my go to for anything else I need. Just amazing to work with. read more

Abner and his team did a fantastic job moving our family from Houston, TX to Baltimore, MD! The crew was professional, and took the time to pack all of our furniture very well. Everything arrived in the same good condition, including some non-standard items that required custom packing. I would highly recommend Iron-Back movers for any of your moving needs--whether it is local or long-distance they will do a great job. read more

This is an excellent moving company. They accommodated an Interstate move with a 2-day notice. Abner and his team were responsible, punctual, polite and did exactly what they said they will do. The pricing was clear and had no surprises. Highly recommended. read more

True to the reviews, I had an amazing experience with Iron Back Movers. I had to move a two bedroom apartment into a single family home this past Sunday. Three movers came and worked incredibly efficiently. I was worried about how long the move would take but these guys just worked so fast. They were very polite as well. At the end, I was just so grateful to each of them. Their rate was much more reasonable than quotes I got from some of the bigger moving companies who had a lot more flashy advertising but charged exorbitant prices. I also appreciated that Iron Back's entire process seemed very professional and modern, from the communication, to the signing of the agreement. Abner was very clear and responsive over text. I am 100% serious when I say I had zero surprises or hiccups with Iron Back Movers. Definitely planning on using them again in the future. read more

I hired a team of 3 and they did a great job getting me moved and setting everything up in my new house. They also give a discount if you hire them Mon-Thur. I would definitely recommend them. read more

They arrived right on time. They moved everything very efficiently for a very reasonable price.

I tried using the Yelp bidding and availability feature for our move from Greenway to Woodlands. But I found it better to just do a search instead as the responses seemed all automated and not customized. We moved on a Saturday morning and the move time was 2:47 minutes including drive time. Rounded up to the nearest quarter hour (ah so close to 2:45) clocked us in at 3 hours even for a 2 bedroom apartment. The 3 man movers were fast and friendly. Ben and crew - FF3. FYI We had everything ready for them so I think that always helps. Destination was on 2nd floor but the truck was able to pull right in front of the stairwell so it was a straight shot up 1 flight of stairs. 1 roll of shrink wrap is included but we only used like a fraction of that. There's a $10 surcharge for weekend help on a 3 man crew which comes with 26 foot truck. Plus a flat $100 truck/fuel charge for the drive. Drive is supposedly based on GPS direct drive time ignoring traffic conditions so you're not penalized for accidents and traffic but for us I think because there were none on a Saturday morning so it was just straight time which worked well as they arrived to the destination not long after I did. As for the initial meet they came right in the middle of the 2 hour window that I was slotted for, and called me when they were headed over which was nice so I wasn't just waiting around. Abner is an owner operator and was responsive. Main reason why I picked him. It was a young crew. One looked like a teenager maybe. Very polite. Observant and considerate. They looked on the smaller side but I think that was good because they could lift and move quickly. Also they are the only ones I saw who takes credit card without surcharge. You can tip on the card but I did cash as I think these guys prefer that. The last movers I hired the first thing out of their mouth when they arrived was "I heard Mr W. is a big tipper". Real turn off. But these guys were anything but that. Very humble and soft spoken. Highly recommend them if you're in need of some help. Best decision ever because I'd be dead in this June heat. read more

Hard workers goes without saying. But the best part was they were both good and fast. This was a big house move. The guys worked hard and efficient for 8 hours before taking any break and they only asked for 20 minutes! Then 3 more hours work until done. They took great care of all our things. Took apart our furniture carefully and re-assembled it perfectly. Asked a million questions and each question was needed to place things where they needed to go. The were very cooperative and competent. I should mention that the company owner suggested a low-cost box store for our boxes a week before the move, and then offered to to to that store with his truck to pick up the boxes and bring them to us! These guys are THE BEST. Price was fair, lower than any other mover who had good reviews. Highest recommendation A++++ they are an asset to the Houston metro. read more

I found these guys thru Yelp and their great reviews and I have to say that they were fantastic! Setting it up was easy, the guys that came were polite, professional and got the job done quickly! And we had them move a 1000 lb gun safe! Highly recommend!!! read more

The Iron-Back moving crew that did our move from Houston to the Hill Country were top notch! Abner the owner was flexible on our scheduling when it came to a change we had to make concerning the weather. I thought it was a good value too! Abner was even available on the load up side and they went above and beyond. They wrapped up some things that needed the extra protection. Even used one of their own large boxes for some odds and ends that couldn't be boxed up. Hopefully all is well when we go to move out of storage as they packed it in there using space as they could so it would all fit. OH and be sure to tip your movers too! I forgot to at first and had to send the tip separately. read more

Iron-Back Movers - Movers Near Me - Houston, Texas

First I must tell you that I really don't trust and like movers and their general attitudes. We have lived in over 15 different locations States side (we lost count) not mentioning 5 overseas countries with permanent residences in over a 40 year period of time. I say all of this to say we have more experience moving than most anyone else. We did our due diligence in calling many movers starting with the YELP family of listings. We decided on Iron-Back Movers and we have absolutely no regrets! We hired the 3 man package to move a full 2 bedroom apartment. This was scheduled for 8/5 during the area's heat wave from HELL!! The crew was led by Manuel who was a professional who made sure all of our concerns were answered and adhered to. This crew worked non stop not only in moving us but also in unloading us in our new location. Finally the heat was getting to them so we gave them plenty of cold water which they showed their appreciation for them. Quite honestly I was a bit nervous at first since all the contracting was done via text and email. No one to speak to until the move date. The crew came on time and was finished in 5 hours time. This company and the crew led by Manuel were the very best that I have ever dealt with and cannot recommend them any higher than they truly were the best. Why did it take me a couple of weeks to write this? To see if anything was broken in the move and the answer is: nothing, not one thing broken. And we have many things that cannot be replaced. read more

Moving is stressful, but thanks to Yelp (FTW as always), I found Iron-Back Movers. I requested a quote through Yelp and the owner, Abner replied immediately. Throughout the entire process, Abner was awesome! He always replied in a timely manner, no matter what time of day or night I messaged him. Booking was a breeze and Abner even agreed to price match a competitor's quote. Much appreciated! I had the option of a two or three person crew. I went with three just to speed up the process. On the morning of the move, the foreman Brian called to let me know that he and the team were on their way. They showed up early in the 2 hour time window and got right to work! Brian and the team were so nice and worked FAST! Brian did a great job of communicating as far as what items I wanted moved, where I wanted furniture placed, and pieces of furniture that had scuffs and marks on it already. I moved from a third floor unit in the middle of June and they handled it like pros. The entire job took 3 hours. Brian called Abner when the job was done and he emailed me an invoice with a link to pay online. It was super simple and straight forward. There was an option to add tip online, but I tipped in cash. An hour or so after the team left, Abner texted me to check in and make sure everything went smoothly. Customer service at it's finest! I was so worried about hiring the right moving company, but there was no need to worry. Iron-Back Movers were amazing and I would definitely hire them again in the future. Thank you Abner, Brian and the team for a smooth process from start to finish! read more

Fabulous! 1. Quick response with information when I requested service. 2. They came at the time we agreed upon. 3. The guys were: Efficient . Focused. Polite. CAREFUL! They treated my stuff with care. Everything I want in a mover. Best moving experience EVER! read more

I had a really good experience with Iron-Back Movers during my latest move. It was easy to schedule and I had 3 movers who were very efficient and nice. They took care of all pieces of furniture and made sure to not damage them or damage the floors. Price was reasonable as well. The only thing I didn't like was the $100 trip charge even though I was literally moving one block away but I think that's standardized. read more

Used this company for a last minute move since other companies were all booked up. 4 guys showed up on time and for the most part were very professional and worked hard on a hot summer day. I encouraged them to take breaks and told them to get lunch on the clock. once we arrived to my new location, a fairly new 85 inch TV that was packed and loaded into a box supplied by them was removed and part of the plastic casing snapped off. The piece was a couple inches long in the bottom left corner. There were some apologies and awkward silence, and then I asked "so what do we do about it? what is your policy?" assuming they would have a policy in place to reimburse for the damage and that would be the end of it. They all told me that they would not be paid for the job or that any repairs / compensation would be taken from their pay. I obviously felt extremely guilty about this. They then asked if they could run to the store to super glue the piece back, and I said fine because I wanted the guys to get paid, but only as long as everything works fine. They superglued the piece back, turned on the TV, and it seemed to be functioning ok so I was content at the moment. Less than 4 weeks later (after not using my TV much), I notice a vertical line has appeared directly above the damaged piece spanning the entire height of the TV. I contacted the owner and expressed my displeasure with the situation since I felt I was guilted and pressured into a quick fix on my 2 thousand dollar TV. Ultimately, I understand he had no obligation to make it right as I should have reported it to him that day. My problem is with their apparent policy that the movers are in such fear of reporting damaged property because they will lose their wage, that they have to guilt and beg the customers on the spot to accept a shoddy solution. I take responsibility, my kindness got the better of me that day. Please use this review as caution if you decide to proceed with them, take photos and report any and all damage no matter if the crew begs saying they wont get paid. update: clearly dishonest company! the entire crew took a lunch break between driving from my old house to new house. I allowed them to do this on the clock. Not sure why the owner feels the need to lie about this, he wasnt present at all read more

They helped me move a couch I bought from Facebook! They were very accommodating with the time, as the seller only had a small window of availability. They moved it efficiently, even though it was challenging to get to my upstairs play room. They gave me the most competitive quote for the job! Would highly recommend using this moving company! read more

Iron-Back Movers helped me out late on a busy Friday afternoon on very short notice. They were the only company that were willing to put me on standby for an open spot and as soon as I sent my info they responded with availability and within 2 hours they showed up ready to work. The 3 man crew led by Oscar was fast and efficient. They worked through my organized chaos by breaking down my big heavy stuff and reassembling at my new location. They even rearranged the furniture so that it all fit in a way where I wouldn't have to move it again, basically styling my place as an extra bonus lol. Fantastic experience and I'd definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. Thanks guys! read more

I highly recommend Houston Iron-Back Movers! I moved from Houston to Minnesota without any issues. A crew of 5 guys unloaded my storage unit and packed up a trailer in just 3 hours (3-bedroom home's worth of stuff), and 3 guys unloaded the trailer and brought it into my new place also in just 3 hours. They showed up exactly when they said they would at both loading and unloading. I left Houston on Tuesday and was moving in two days later on Thursday at 7 am in Minnesota! They were super careful with wrapping my things and they also helped reassemble furniture when we unloaded. Only my stuff was transported; no other items were in the trailer which ensured all my things made it. They gave a reasonable quote and were responsive to all questions. Thank you for the low-stress, cross-country move! read more

Iron-Back Movers made my day so much easier yesterday with my move. They were nice, efficient and quick! I barely had to lift a finger with the whole move and they got me out of the old apartment and into the new, quicker than I had planned. For the cost, the service was splendid and I would definitely recommend Iron-Back for your moves and will be using them again in the future. read more

Five stars - highly recommend! Iron-Back Movers made our move incredibly easy and stress-free. Scheduling the move was a breeze. Abner, the owner, was very responsive and provided any and all details needed for us to prepare for the move. I requested a 2-man crew and Abner sent out Simon and Oscar. These two gentlemen were awesome! They handled each appliance and piece of furniture as if it was their own. They wrapped everything in a moving blanket and then applied shrink wrap to prevent damage. They also worked efficiently and quickly. They moved with a sense of urgency and didn't waste any time by taking breaks. Everything arrived to our new house in the exact same condition in which it left. I HIGHLY recommend this company to anybody needing to move. Their prices are very competitive with other companies and you will receive five-star service. A huge thank you to Abner, Simon, Oscar, and the whole Iron-Back Movers team for making our move as easy and stress-free as possible! read more

I was recommended Iron Back Movers for my most recent move. They were 10/10 with the professionalism, they were quick, and best of all - nothing was broken! I requested a team of 3 for my 1 bedroom apt + study and they were amazing! Kudos to their team and I strongly recommend them for anyone's moving needs! I will be using them in the future! read more

The best move I had so far. It was an interstate move of 4 bedroom house, which this team of 4 movers managed to do in a couple of days. Fantastic experience! Many thanks to Abner and his team. Everything was on time, and nothing is damaged. Reasonable price compared to other quotes I received. Besides that, I liked the quick online booking and prompt response in case of any questions - thanks to Lexi. I will use this service again and highly recommend it. read more

I had a great experience with Iron-Back movers. I moved from Houston to New Orleans. The movers showed up in the promised time-frame window. They were very careful with all the items, wrapped everything that needed it with blankets and plastic wrap, and worked quickly to load up the truck. They arrived promptly to the new location. The unload went very smooth as well. None of my items were damaged. I was nervous about moving my glass display case, and it arrived in perfect condition. They put all the furniture in the appropriate rooms and rebuilt any items that needed it. I was so impressed and happy that it could all be done in one day. I was sleeping in my bed that night!! It went so fast that I didn't even take any pictures but I put a picture of the glass case for reference. read more

Our move went very smooth with Iron-Back Movers! It was a big move and the guys worked hard packing it one day and moving it the next. Only one thing was broken and they were quick to fully remedy the situation. Otherwise, everything was moved very well with plenty of care to the houses. Even when I changed my mind or needed them to adjust a furniture set up and I'm sure they were tired, they did it no problem. They worked hard continuously as well. And wow they are so strong! We hired two trucks with six guy ya for the move day, and that helped it go faster. I'm glad we did that. Overall would use again! read more

I got a 5 hour delivery window, but when the first hour came I already got a call from them saying they're on their way, which is very good. These guys were tanks. Super strong and fast. We live on the second floor and moved to a second floor. Nothing seemed to slow them down. My only negative comments are that they didn't really pay attention to boxes that said "up" or "fragile," meaning they just piled boxes on top of the other regardless of what we wrote on the boxes (see picture). Luckily, there was no damage. Something that bothered my husband was that they sweated profusely over our furniture. I mentioned that it was summer in Houston, so what did he think they could do about that. He said they should wear a few shirts and/or have clean rags to put on their shoulders, etc. I think he was so picky because it is Covid-19 time. BTW, the guys did wear masks, but we said they could take them off because it was hard enough to go up and down the stairs as it is. All in all, the price was great and the work was done very quickly. read more

They unloaded my storage unit and loaded my stuff into my new house in no time. They were so fast and efficient. Best moving job I've ever had. They are awesome. Made my move so much easier on me. So glad I hired them! read more

Used them twice this year! Different crew each time and both were great! One move was an apartment on the third floor with no elevator, on a VERY hot Houston day (I felt like I was about to pass out and I didn't even carry anything). They were extremely professional and got things done quickly. Highly recommend!! read more

Iron Back moved us from League City to Dew, Texas yesterday. We could not have asked for a better crew! The value was exceptional, the care they took with our belongings was over the top, and the guys were gentlemen throughout the day. The company was responsive and on top of the business of our move! Choose iron Back! You won't be sorry! read more

We had a great experience with this company. It was our first time hiring movers and WELL worth the money! These guys definitely worked their bottoms off to make this transition as easy as possible. I was told by others when asked how long it took them to move us that, it seemed like a long time for the size of our home/items we had, but I would say that is partly our fault. Not truly knowing what to expect we probably could've had the couch pillows bagged up or wrapped or something and been a little more prepared for them to be in & out in a quicker fashion. The guys that came to assist were very thorough and seemed to follow protocol to a T (which I admire). We hope to work with them again in the future! read more

Moving is miserable - I've done it like 10 times over the past decade. The last few times with my boyfriend I have not liked him very much during the process lol - he gets stressed out and I almost wanna tell the movers to pack and keep him but this time was much different from any moving experience I have had. Hands down this was the best experience I have ever had with movers. They were prompt, quick, friendly, helpful and patient (we were a little chaotic at the new place because we have 3 dogs we had to transport and secure while they unloaded). Everything was intact, no damage to either place unlike past movers. Seriously the nicest guys And again, I have to mention how quick because holy smokes...This is the most stuff I've had to move and the furthest I've moved so I was dreading this. We would definitely hire this company again and I am so glad we found them. I highly recommend you go with them! read more

10 out of 5 stars. Easy to follow, transparent and fair pricing. Amazing communication. Movers were respectful, efficient and on top of it. Contract was secure, straightforward and honest. Can't ask for much else. Keep up the great work! read more

Reasonable pricing and had a good experience. We moved from a 3 story townhome to a 2.5 story house. They did a good job and there were no nicks on the walls from moving heavy furniture up the stairs. Also moved my exercise bike with no damage. Recommend! read more

I paid $900 for a move thinking they are 5 stars on Yelp and google. But I was wrong. This was 5.5 hrs move in Houston. 1. These guys look unprofessional. This is not my first move so I know what professional movers are. They didn't come in masks, no starting paperwork, didn't tell time of start etc. They were just there to dump stuff in the truck. 2. They didn't bring anything to count boxes. I literally had to number boxes myself. My last movers were very professional as they brought stickers with numbers etc. 3. They dismantled my furniture but couldn't make that back again. - On the bed they put slats on opposite side so nothing would fit. Later he somehow put it together with nails on my request but it broke soon enough. - On the baby crib he put all screws wrong- I literally had to dismantle almost everything back to put it back. These are the only items he had dismantled and managed to put both both wrong. - Also they broke one of the bookshelf. 4. Of course they worked hard but I don't think it was worth $135/hr. 5. I wouldn't recommend them for a big move like us. Consider your stuff broken etc if you decide to go with them. I feel they should reimburse me for broken items but I don't have time or energy. Just wanted to alarm other yelp users who might be getting carried away with their 5 star ratings. Oh btw they might tell you that you had low quality stuff so they are not able to put it back together. read more

From start to finish this was a fantastic experience! Abner and his team were very prompt and responsive. They gave us a reasonable price quote, outlined expectations and everything was documented and professional. The whole process was so quick and easy. Abner was very responsive every time I cotacted him by text or call. The team that came out the day of our move (three man crew) were so efficient and super careful! They were hustling the whole time and were so polite and respectful of our property and time. I can't emphasize enough what a wonderful experience we had. I hope we never move again, but if we do, we're definitely using Iron Back! Highly recommend - these guys are legit! read more
