5.0 ★★★★★128 reviews on Thumbtack · Top Pro 2025 5.0 on Thumbtack. 128 reviews. Read any of them.
3-bedroom home · 11–20 miles
★★★★★“Highly recommend — they far exceeded my expectations. They treated my furniture as if it was their own. They used blankets to protect my furniture and wrapped everything in plastic. They were fast and also very polite. If I move again, my first call will be to Armadillo Movers.”
1-bedroom apartment · 3 h instead of 4
★★★★★“Nikolai and Roman came in and immediately got to work. My original quote was for four hours and they got it done in three. They even offered to stay and assist with unpacking. Super cool, on time and super hard workers. 1000% would use again.”
3-bedroom home · 21–30 miles
★★★★★“We had an amazing experience with Armadillo Movers! Professional, hardworking, respectful, and took great care with our belongings. They made what could have been a very stressful moving day go so much smoother. Five stars all the way!”
1-bedroom · stairs on both ends
★★★★★“They did a great job moving me out and in to my new apartment. Definitely took away the anxiety and stress of moving. They were very careful — no scuffs on the floors or the walls. Will be recommending to friends!”
Last-minute evening move + TV
★★★★★“Hands down best experience I've ever had with movers. On time, handled everything with care and great price! Also hung my TV for me. Plus they moved me last minute at a time that worked for me after working all day.”
4-bedroom house in 3 hours
★★★★★“Great service from Roman and Nick. Super fast — able to finish a 4-bedroom house in 3 hrs.”
2-bedroom · hired again 2 days later
★★★★★“I hired Nick for a quick move and he delivered! He did so well that I hired him two days later for another job! On time, professional and so helpful — he even assembled chairs and fixed a desk for me.”
1-bedroom in Austin
★★★★★“Roman and Nick were absolutely outstanding! They arrived on time, worked quickly but carefully. Nothing was scratched, damaged, or misplaced — they treated my belongings like their own.”

FAQ
Before you book: straight answers.
Something else? Call or WhatsApp. A person answers.
How much does a move cost?
It's hourly: 2 movers + truck $149/hr, 3 movers + truck $199/hr, 4 movers + truck $249/hr. There is a 3-hour minimum, then we bill in 15-minute steps. The calculator gives you a range for your place in about a minute.
Are stairs, fuel or blankets extra?
No. Stairs, elevators, fuel, blankets, shrink wrap and taking beds apart are in the hourly rate. Nothing gets added once the truck is loaded.
When does the clock start?
When the crew is at your door. Not at our yard, not on the drive over.
What if you finish early?
You pay less. One of our clients was quoted four hours for a one-bedroom and paid for three.
How do you keep furniture from getting scratched?
Every piece gets a moving blanket and shrink wrap before it leaves the room. Boxes are strapped in the truck, and floors and door frames are covered.
How fast do you get back to me?
Within 15 minutes, by phone or WhatsApp — your choice. Same-week moves are often possible when a crew is free.
Who actually shows up?
Nick and Roman lead our crews. They are the names in most of our 128 Thumbtack reviews, and Thumbtack has run a background check.
Rather talk it through?
Leave your number. We call or WhatsApp you back within 15 minutes. No spam calls. We never sell or share your data.
