What local movers cost in Kerrville, TX
Every local job at Browning Storage gets a price before the truck ever leaves the yard, and that price is what you pay when the work is done. Wade and Rhonda run a Texas-licensed operation, with and federally; the trucks are ours and the movers are on our own payroll, not pulled off some labor app. Your total really comes down to two things, how much there is to move and how stubborn each address is about parking a truck and walking to the door, anywhere from downtown Kerrville out to Comfort, Ingram, or Fredericksburg. Run the tool for a rough bracket, then send both addresses our way and we put the real number in writing.

Current brackets by home size
The ranges below cover local work starting in Kerrville or the nearby Kerr County towns. Truck, movers, quilted pads, dollies, floor runners, and basic tools are already built into every one, so you will not see any of them resurface as an extra. The hourly column is the whole crew on site, sized to the home.
| Home size | Crew | Est. hours | Hourly rate | Flat-rate range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / Room | 2 movers | 2–3 hrs | $120/hr | $360 – $540 |
| 1 Bedroom | 2 movers | 3–4 hrs | $120/hr | $540 – $840 |
| 2 Bedrooms | 2–3 movers | 4–5 hrs | $160/hr | $840 – $1,450 |
| 3 Bedrooms | 3 movers | 5–7 hrs | $160/hr | $1,450 – $2,450 |
| 4+ Bedrooms | 3–4 movers | 7–10 hrs | $205/hr | $2,300 – $3,700 |
What slides a quote toward one edge or the other
Bedroom count picks the bracket; the two addresses decide where inside it you land, and Kerr County has a few quirks of its own here:
- Where the truck can park. A Tivy-area house with a paved drive is the quick case. A river cabin out SH-39 down a long gravel drive no loaded 26-footer can back onto drags out every trip to the door. Neither becomes a line item; both just feed into the one figure we quote.
- Gates and golf communities. Comanche Trace and the river neighborhoods along the Guadalupe usually want crew names at the gatehouse, sometimes a set entrance. That time is real, so we show up with the list filed and the entry confirmed.
- Stairs and ranch layouts. Most homes around here sit on one story, which moves fast, but a two-story river home or a hillside split-level keeps the crew on the stairs. We never write a stair fee; the climbing time is simply part of the quoted total.
- Town-to-town distance. A move that stays inside Kerrville beats one running out to Fredericksburg, Bandera, or Comfort. The minutes on SH-16, SH-27, or US-290 are priced up front and never bolted on later.
- The heavy specialties. An upright piano runs $300–$460 and a baby grand $500–$760, both handled by our own crew with proper rigging. Gun safes, big sectionals, and stone tables get that same in-house handling, with no subcontractor in the picture.
Two-bedroom pricing around the county
The same two-bedroom load prices differently depending on where it starts, mostly because parking, gates, gravel drives, and distance change from town to town. A few typical outcomes:
| Origin | 2BR flat-rate range | Avg. hourly | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kerrville (Tivy, downtown, Sidney Baker corridor) | $840 – $1,430 | $160/hr | One-story ranch houses, short drives, easy parking on most blocks |
| Riverhill / Comanche Trace | $880 – $1,450 | $160/hr | Gated golf community, gatehouse list set ahead, longer drives |
| Ingram / Hunt (along the Guadalupe) | $900 – $1,450 | $160/hr | River cabins, long gravel drives, extra miles west on SH-27 and SH-39 |
| Center Point / Comfort | $880 – $1,440 | $160/hr | Small-town and ranch properties, added miles east on SH-27 |
| Fredericksburg | $920 – $1,450 | $160/hr | North on SH-16, historic blocks in town, ranch homes outside it |
| Bandera | $910 – $1,450 | $160/hr | South on SH-16 into dude-ranch country, longer rural drives |
Our trucks and crew are stationed right here in Kerrville, so no quote tacks on a rig deadheading in from somewhere else before the job starts.
When your new keys show up after the old place is already due
Closings slide, turnovers stall; we see it constantly. Because the storage building is ours and climate-controlled, the crew that empties your old place can hold your belongings cooled out of the Hill Country heat for days or weeks, then bring them over whenever you call the date. Storage runs about $95–$240 a month by unit size, often half off the first month, and your things never leave our custody for anyone else’s.
Reading the Kerr County calendar
- Spring. Mild weather and our busiest window, as retirees and second-home owners settle in ahead of summer, so book a week or two out and lean toward weekdays.
- Summer. Punishing triple-digit heat that bakes furniture in any un-cooled shed, which is exactly why cooled storage matters here. Crews start at first light, and we keep an eye on the Guadalupe; a flash-flood warning means we slide the start time.
- Fall. The heat lets up, demand eases, and conditions turn comfortable, a quietly good window with fair rates.
- Winter. The slowest and usually cheapest stretch, with the odd ice storm that can shut I-10; we pad those dates with a contingency day when a front looks serious.
Whichever month you choose, the quoted figure is set before you sign; the quiet weeks just produce a smaller one. Send your date through the quote form and we put it in writing.
Questions we hear about local pricing
Could the price climb after the crew has started?
No. You pay what the agreement reads, with one exception, an inventory dramatically larger than what we saw at the estimate, and even then Wade talks it through with you before the crew lifts anything.
What is folded into the quoted figure?
The crew’s labor, the truck and its fuel, pads, shrink wrap, dollies, runners, and basic take-apart and put-back-together. None of that exists as its own line; it all sits inside the single total.
How do you build the estimate?
We inventory what is moving, study both addresses for stairs, parking, gravel drives, gates, and any gatehouse list, and weigh the season. Send the form or call (888) 711-4778 and a written figure reaches your inbox inside the hour.
Is a weekday actually cheaper?
Usually it is. Tuesday through Thursday runs under weekend pricing most weeks, and the crew has more room midweek. Call and we will read you the open dates.
