South Austin's neighborhood mover, literally

SpaceMan Moving Co. operates out of 2323 S Lamar Blvd, smack in the middle of 78704. When you book us for a Bouldin Creek bungalow or a Travis Heights two-story, you're not getting a crew dispatched from a warehouse out past the toll road, you're getting neighbors. We founded this company here in 2010, father and son, and the ZIP code made it onto the truck before almost anything else did.

What moving in 78704 actually involves

This part of Austin is beautiful and old, and it moves differently than the suburbs. Fifteen years in, here's what we plan for that out-of-area crews learn the hard way:

• 1930s-60s houses with character. Bouldin, Zilker, and Travis Heights are full of original bungalows: narrow doorways, tight hallways, pier-and-beam porches, and the occasional staircase that was clearly designed before queen mattresses existed. We measure, we wrap, and we know when a couch needs to come through a window instead of a door.
• Street parking and tight access. Many blocks have no driveways at all. We know where a 26-foot truck can actually sit on Bouldin's narrow streets, and we plan load paths so your move doesn't depend on luck.
• Condos and apartments along South Lamar and South Congress. Elevator reservations, loading dock rules, COI paperwork for the building, we've handled it at most of the buildings on the corridor, and we'll coordinate with your management before moving day.
• Heritage trees everywhere. Those live oaks that make 78704 feel like 78704 also hang low over driveways. We've spent fifteen years not hitting them.

Where we work in 78704

Bouldin Creek, Zilker, Travis Heights, Barton Hills, South Lamar, Galindo, Dawson, and the SoCo corridor. If you're moving within the ZIP, into it from elsewhere in Austin, or out of it entirely, including long-distance routes, we'll handle it door to door.

Questions about this move

Built for the family-sized move

Circle C Ranch is where Austin families put down roots, and when those families move, it's rarely a small job. Four bedrooms, a game room, a garage that's become a storage unit, patio furniture, a trampoline, and at least one piece of furniture with a story behind it. We've been moving Circle C households since 2010, and we staff and plan these jobs for what they really are: full-house, full-day, do-it-right moves.

What we know about moving in Circle C

• Two-story homes mean stairs, and stairs mean technique. Most Circle C floor plans put the bedrooms upstairs. Dressers, mattresses, desks, and that solid-wood bed frame all come down padded, wrapped, and walked, never dragged, never rushed.
• Garage volume is the great underestimater. The #1 thing that blows up a Circle C move estimate is the garage. We ask about it up front so your quote reflects reality, not wishful thinking.
• HOA-friendly by habit. Clean truck placement, driveway protection, no lawns driven on, nothing left at the curb. We treat the street like the neighbors are watching, because in Circle C, they are, and we'd like the referral.
• Moves in every direction. Upsizing within the neighborhood, moving across town, or relocating out of state, Circle C families heading to Denver or the coasts can keep the same crew door to door.

The Circle C area we cover

All of Circle C Ranch and its sections, plus the surrounding Southwest Austin neighborhoods, including Meridian next door, Shady Hollow, Grey Rock, and the Escarpment corridor. Same crew, same care, wherever in the neighborhood you are.

Built for the family-sized move

Round Rock is where Austin families put down roots, and when those families move, it's rarely a small job. Four bedrooms, a game room, a garage that's become a storage unit, patio furniture, a trampoline, and at least one piece of furniture with a story behind it. We've been moving Round Rock households since 2010, and we staff and plan these jobs for what they really are: full-house, full-day, do-it-right moves.

What we know about moving in Round Rock

• Two-story homes mean stairs, and stairs mean technique. Most Round Rock floor plans put the bedrooms upstairs. Dressers, mattresses, desks, and that solid-wood bed frame all come down padded, wrapped, and walked, never dragged, never rushed.
• Garage volume is the great underestimater. The #1 thing that blows up a Round Rock move estimate is the garage. We ask about it up front so your quote reflects reality, not wishful thinking.

Questions about this move

A neighborhood we can navigate from memory

Meridian sits in the sweet spot of Southwest Austin, close to the Veloway and the Wildflower Center, zoned to schools families move for, and filled with newer two-story homes on streets that all seem to loop back to Meridian Park. We've moved enough households here since 2010 that the floor plans start to feel familiar: we usually know where the awkward stair turn is before we walk in the door.

How we handle Meridian moves

• Newer construction, treated carefully. Meridian homes tend to have nice finishes, wood and tile floors, modern banisters, tall entryway light fixtures. We use floor runners, wrap everything before it moves, and pad the pinch points so the house you're leaving looks as good as the day you listed it.
• Two-story logistics, planned up front. Like its Circle C neighbor, Meridian is mostly multi-level family homes. We bring the right crew size for stairs so the day doesn't drag.
• Family-day choreography. Kids, dogs, school pickup, moving day doesn't pause your life. Tell us the constraints and we'll plan the load order around them, like getting the kids' rooms packed last and unloaded first.
• Local or long haul. Whether it's a move up the street, across Austin, or a relocation to San Diego or Detroit, the same family-owned crew handles it end to end.

Nearby, too

We cover all of Meridian plus the surrounding Southwest Austin area, Circle C Ranch, Shady Hollow, Bridges at Bear Creek, and out toward the Hill Country line.

Questions about this move

Old Austin, moved the way it deserves

Tarrytown is where a lot of Austin's history lives: tree-canopied streets around Exposition and Windsor, homes that have belonged to the same families for decades, and the kind of furniture that gets passed down rather than replaced. Since 2010 we've moved a lot of these households, and we approach a Tarrytown move differently than a apartment turnover, because the stakes inside the boxes are higher.

What moving in Tarrytown actually involves

• Homes with real history. Many Tarrytown houses date to the 1930s and 40s, tudors and colonials with tight original staircases, plaster walls, and doorways built before sectional sofas existed. We measure, pad, and plan the route out before anything moves.
• Contents worth protecting. Antiques, art, china, and pianos are common here. We bring the extra wrapping, blankets, and patience these pieces require, and we tell you honestly when something should be crated or specialty-handled.
• Mature trees and narrow driveways. The oaks that make Tarrytown beautiful also hang low over tight driveways and older lots. We know where a 26-foot truck can actually sit and how to protect the approach.
• Discretion and respect. Clean truck placement, no lawns driven on, nothing left at the curb. We move like the neighbors are watching, because in Tarrytown they usually are.

Where we work in Tarrytown

All of Tarrytown, including the streets around Exposition Boulevard, Windsor Road, Mayfield Park, and Lions Municipal, plus the nearby West Austin pockets toward Lake Austin. Moving out of state from here? Tarrytown families heading to Denver or the coasts keep the same crew door to door.

Questions about this move

Hill-country moves, handled start to finish

Steiner Ranch sits out where Austin turns into the Hill Country, off RM 620 between Lake Austin and Lake Travis. It's a big, master-planned community of large family homes on hilly, winding streets, and a move out here is rarely a small one. We've been making the drive and doing these moves since 2010, and we plan them for what they actually are: full-house, full-day jobs.

What moving in Steiner Ranch involves

• Large homes mean real volume. Two stories, three-car garages, game rooms, and patios add up fast. We ask about all of it up front, especially the garage, so your estimate reflects the real move and the day runs on schedule.
• Hills and long driveways. Steep, curving driveways and sloped lots are the norm. We bring the right equipment and crew size so nothing gets rushed on an incline.
• Gated sections. Several parts of Steiner Ranch are gated. Let us know your section and gate access when you book, and we'll coordinate entry so the truck isn't stuck at the callbox on moving day.
• Distance, planned for. We're a South Austin company, so we build the drive time out to 620 into the plan honestly rather than surprising you with it.

The Steiner Ranch area we cover

All of Steiner Ranch, including the sections off Quinlan Park Road, the areas near the UT Golf Club and Towne Square, and out toward Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Relocating away from the lake? We run dedicated long-distance moves to Denver, San Diego, and beyond.

Questions about this move

The heart of 78704, and our home turf

Bouldin Creek sits just south of Lady Bird Lake, a short walk from downtown and the soul of the 78704 ZIP that's been on our truck since day one. It's eclectic and walkable, full of century-old cottages next door to sleek modern rebuilds, and the streets were laid out long before anyone owned a 26-foot truck. Fifteen years of working here means we already know the blocks where access gets interesting.

What moving in Bouldin Creek involves

• Old bungalows with character. Early-1900s cottages bring narrow doorways, tight hallways, porch steps, and the occasional staircase that fights a queen mattress. We measure, wrap, and know when a piece needs an alternate route in or out.
• No driveways, narrow streets. Much of Bouldin is street-parking only on tight blocks, sometimes with alley access behind. We plan where the truck sits and how the load path runs so the day doesn't hinge on luck.
• Modern rebuilds, too. The new infill homes bring tall, switchback staircases and nice finishes. Floor runners, padded banisters, and wrapped furniture keep them pristine.
• Downtown-close logistics. Permit parking and busy streets are part of the deal this close in. We handle the timing and placement so your move doesn't become a traffic event.

Bouldin and beyond

We cover all of Bouldin Creek and the surrounding 78704 area, including neighboring Zilker and the rest of South Austin. Moving out of the city entirely? The same crew can take you door to door across the country.

Questions about this move

The neighborhood everyone wants to live in

The Zilker neighborhood wraps around its namesake park and Barton Springs, with the greenbelt at the back door and downtown a few minutes away. It's one of the most sought-after corners of 78704, a mix of mid-century ranch homes, older bungalows, and newer builds, and we've been moving families in and out of it since 2010. Living and working in this part of town means we know its quirks, right down to the calendar.

What moving in Zilker involves

• A mix of home styles. Ranch homes and bungalows sit next to modern rebuilds, so one move might mean a single-story slab and the next a three-level new build. We bring the right crew and approach for each.
• Festival-season timing. Zilker Park hosts big events, and ACL weekends in October bring road closures and parking chaos around the neighborhood. We plan move dates and truck access around the event calendar so your day doesn't collide with a festival.
• Greenbelt and sloped lots. Homes backing to the greenbelt or on the slopes toward Barton Creek can mean stairs and longer carries. We staff and plan for it up front.
• Close-in access. Narrow streets and street parking are common this near the park. We sort truck placement before we arrive.

Around Zilker

We cover the full Zilker neighborhood plus the rest of South Austin's 78704 and neighboring Bouldin Creek. Headed out of town? We run dedicated long-distance moves nationwide with the same crew at both ends.

Questions about this move

Why Austin → Houston is our kind of route

People move between Austin and Houston constantly, jobs in energy and medicine, family across the state, and folks trading hill-country quiet for big-city pace (and back again). At roughly 165 miles it's a short, fast run, which is exactly why it pays to hire a real mover instead of a broker.

Here's the difference that matters most: many "long-distance movers" are actually brokers. They sell your move, hand it to a carrier you've never heard of, and your belongings may sit in a warehouse before they ever reach Houston. We don't do any of that. SpaceMan Moving is the carrier. The crew that wraps your furniture in Austin drives it down and sets it up in your new Houston home.

How the route works

• Direct drive, roughly 2.5-3 hours of road time. We typically load in the morning and deliver the same afternoon, with a firm window agreed before we start.
• One flat, all-in quote. Based on your inventory and access at both ends. The number we agree on is the number you pay.
• Loaded for the highway. Everything padded, wrapped, and strapped, the same prep you can see in our truck photos.
• Houston access handled. High-rises inside the Loop with dock reservations, or a house in the Heights or Sugar Land, tell us the destination and we'll plan the unload before we leave Austin.

What to plan for

Because it's a same-day run, timing is simple, but end-of-month and weekend dates still fill up fast. Lock your date early, especially if you're matching a lease start. Downsizing or upsizing on the way? We're happy to help you think through what's worth the trip.

Questions about this move

Why Austin → Dallas is our kind of route

The Austin-to-Dallas corridor never slows down, corporate relocations, families spreading across the Metroplex, and plenty of people who've lived in both. At roughly 195 miles up I-35, it's a short, direct run when it's done by the people actually driving the truck.

The difference that matters most: many "long-distance movers" are brokers. They sell your move and hand it off to a carrier you've never met, and your things may switch trucks or sit in a warehouse along the way. We don't. SpaceMan Moving is the carrier, the crew that loads in Austin unloads in Dallas-Fort Worth.

How the route works

• Direct drive, roughly 3 hours of road time. We usually load in the morning and deliver the same day, with a firm window agreed before we start.
• One flat, all-in quote. Based on your inventory and access at both ends. The number we agree on is the number you pay.
• Loaded for the highway. Everything padded, wrapped, and strapped, the same prep you can see in our truck photos.
• Metroplex delivery handled. Uptown high-rises with dock times, or a house out in Plano, Frisco, or Fort Worth, tell us where it's going and we'll plan the unload before we leave Austin.

What to plan for

Same-day delivery keeps the timing easy, but the Austin-Dallas route is popular, so end-of-month and weekend dates book quickly. Lock your date early, especially around a lease or job start, and we'll handle the rest.

Questions about this move

Why Austin → San Antonio is our kind of route

Austin and San Antonio are practically neighbors, about 80 miles apart on I-35, and people move between them all the time for work, family, and a little more house for the money. It's the shortest of our long-distance routes, and the easiest to get done in a single day.

Even on a short hop, who you hire matters. We're not a broker, we're the carrier. The same crew that wraps and loads your home in Austin unloads it in San Antonio, with no transfers and no surprises.

How the route works

• Direct drive, roughly 1.5 hours of road time. We load in the morning and deliver the same day, with a firm window set before we start.
• One flat, all-in quote. Based on your inventory and access at both ends. The number we agree on is the number you pay.
• Loaded with care. Everything padded, wrapped, and strapped, the same prep you can see in our truck photos.
• San Antonio access handled. Downtown and Pearl-area buildings, or a house out in Stone Oak or Alamo Heights, tell us the destination and we'll plan the unload before we leave Austin.

What to plan for

It's a same-day move, so timing is the easy part, just book ahead for weekends and end-of-month dates. If you're matching a lease start, lock the date first and pack second, and we'll take care of the drive.

Questions about this move

Why Austin → Denver is our kind of route

Austin and Denver trade residents constantly, tech workers chasing mountains, families chasing seasons, and plenty of people who love both cities and have lived in each twice. At roughly 920 miles, it's close enough for a fast, direct move and far enough that who you hire really matters.

Here's the difference that matters most: many "long-distance movers" are actually brokers. They sell your move, hand it to a carrier you've never heard of, and your belongings may sit in a warehouse and switch trucks before they ever see Colorado. We don't do any of that. SpaceMan Moving is the carrier. The crew that wraps your furniture in Austin drives it up and sets it down in your new Denver home.

How the route works

• Direct drive, roughly 13-14 hours of road time. We typically deliver within 2-3 days of pickup, with a firm window agreed before we load, not a vague "7 to 21 business days" spread.
• One flat, all-in quote. Based on your inventory and access at both ends. The number we agree on is the number you pay.
• Loaded for the long haul. Everything padded, wrapped, and strapped, the same prep you can see in our truck photos, because mountain highway miles are earned, not hoped for.
• Denver delivery details handled. Apartment buildings in LoDo and RiNo with dock reservations, or a house in Wash Park with winter street parking, tell us the destination and we'll plan the unload before we leave Texas.

What people moving to Denver should plan for

Book earlier than feels necessary, summer and end-of-month dates on this route fill quickly. If you're timing a move around a lease start or a job date, lock the window first and pack second. And if you're downsizing from a Texas-sized house to a Denver-sized one, we're happy to help you think through what's worth the miles.

Questions about this move

Texas to LA without the middlemen

The Austin-LA route runs both directions constantly: creatives and tech folks heading west, Californians who tried Texas heading home, and families splitting the difference. It's also a route crawling with moving brokers, companies that quote low online, then sell your job to whichever carrier bites. That's how moves end up weeks late, transferred between trucks, or held up over surprise charges.

We're the opposite of that model. SpaceMan Moving is a family-owned carrier: our truck, our crew, our reputation. We've been doing this since 2010, and the owners are reachable for the entire move.

How an Austin → LA move runs

• I-10 west, roughly 20 hours of driving. Typical delivery 3-4 days after pickup, with the window fixed before loading.
• One flat quote, everything included. Crew, truck, fuel, miles, padding and wrap on every piece of furniture. No "binding-estimate-that-wasn't" games.
• LA logistics, planned ahead. Parking is the boss in Los Angeles. Whether it's a Silver Lake hillside street, a Santa Monica apartment with a strict dock window, or an HOA in Culver City, we sort access and any permits-or-parking questions before we leave Austin.
• Careful with the stuff that matters. Long-haul miles are exactly why everything gets wrapped and strapped like the inside of our truck photos, desert highway is no place for loose furniture.

Timing your move west

Summer and month-end dates book first. If your LA lease or start date is fixed, lock your moving window two-plus weeks out when possible. Moving a smaller load? Ask us about scheduling, pairing the calendar right can make a one-bedroom move west surprisingly reasonable.

Questions about this move

The better way to get to America's finest city

San Diego pulls Austinites for the obvious reasons, the coast, the climate, the Navy and biotech jobs, and the route is short enough by western standards that there's no excuse for your belongings to take three weeks getting there. With a national van line, that's exactly what can happen: your move waits in a warehouse until a trailer heading that way has room.

We run it differently. Your move is the trip. We load in Austin, drive I-10 west, and deliver to your San Diego address on a window we fix before the first box goes on the truck.

What the route looks like

• ~1,290 miles, about 19 hours of road time. Typical delivery 3-4 days after pickup.
• A flat, dedicated-move quote. Inventory plus access equals price. Fuel, miles, crew, and furniture protection are all in the number.
• San Diego-specific planning. Beach-area streets in PB and OB are tight; mid-rise buildings downtown and in UTC want certificates of insurance and dock times; hillside places in North Park can have long carries. Tell us the address and we'll plan it before we leave.
• Military and biotech relocations welcome. If you're working against report dates or a start date, say so, firm windows are the reason people pick us for this route.

A note on what to bring

Square footage in San Diego costs more than it does in Texas, and most people downsize at least a little. We're happy to quote a couple of inventory scenarios, full house versus the keeper list, so you can decide what's worth the miles before moving day.

Questions about this move

The route the big guys treat as an afterthought

Austin-Detroit isn't a glamour route, which is exactly why it's worth choosing your mover carefully. On lower-volume lanes like this, national van lines consolidate: your household waits in a warehouse until enough Midwest-bound freight accumulates to fill a trailer. That's how a 1,350-mile move ends up taking two or three weeks, with your furniture switching trucks somewhere in between.

We run Austin → Detroit as a dedicated move. Your belongings get our truck to themselves, the same crew at both ends, and a delivery window we commit to before loading. Whether you're heading home to family, taking an automotive or healthcare job, or moving back for Michigan summers, the move itself shouldn't be the hard part.

How we run it

• ~1,350 miles, roughly 20 hours of driving. Typical delivery 3-4 days after pickup, not "sometime this month."
• One flat quote, no consolidation games. Because it's a dedicated truck, the price reflects your move and nothing else.
• Metro Detroit, covered. Downtown and Midtown lofts, Royal Oak and Ferndale bungalows, Ann Arbor, the Grosse Pointes, and the wider metro, tell us the address and we'll plan the unload, including winter access if you're moving in the cold months.
• Wrapped for the long haul north. Every piece padded and strapped, the same standard you can see inside our truck.

Planning a Texas-to-Michigan move

If your dates are tied to a job start or a house closing, lock the moving window early, dedicated trucks book by the calendar. And if winter is involved, we'll talk through delivery-day details ahead of time so an icy driveway doesn't become the day's drama.

Questions about this move

Texas to the Gulf coast, done direct

The Austin-Tampa lane keeps getting busier: remote workers chasing the water, families moving near grandparents, retirees trading the Hill Country for the bay. It's a clean, fast route, I-10 east through Houston and the Gulf states, then down into Florida, and at ~1,150 miles it's well inside the range where a direct, dedicated move just makes sense.

The alternative is the usual long-distance roulette: brokers reselling your job, consolidated trailers, and a delivery "window" wide enough to drive a truck through. We skip all of it. One truck, one crew, one number, one date.

The route, in practice

• ~1,150 miles, around 17 hours of driving. Typical delivery 2-3 days after pickup with the window fixed up front.
• One flat, all-inclusive quote. Crew, truck, fuel, miles, and full furniture wrap included.
• The whole bay covered. Tampa proper, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Sarasota, high-rise condos on the water (COIs and elevator bookings handled) to single-stories inland.
• Florida-aware loading. Humidity and heat are real on this route, so wood furniture, instruments, and electronics get wrapped accordingly and the truck gets packed tight and smart.

Timing a Florida move

Snowbird season and summer both squeeze the calendar, and hurricane season occasionally reshuffles everyone's plans, one more reason a dedicated truck with a committed window beats a consolidation network when the weather gets interesting. Lock your dates early and we'll handle the rest.
