Moving in Brownsville
Summer heat from June through September shortens the working day, and Austin and Houston both have downtown high-rises that require a reserved freight elevator and a certificate of insurance. What decides a Brownsville crew day is rarely the mileage — it is the stair count, the parking and whether anything has to come apart to clear a doorway. The closest market we also cover is Mcallen, 60 miles out.
The survey matters more here than the postcode: two houses on the same street in Brownsville can be a half-day apart once stairs and access are counted.

Moving in Brownsville: common questions
Which Brownsville ZIP codes do you cover?
78520, 78521, 78522, 78523, 78526. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Brownsville take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Corpus Christi, TX — 150 mi, 1 day; Laredo, TX — 190 mi, 1 day; San Antonio, TX — 290 mi, 1–2 days. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Cameron County?
Yes. Brownsville is what people search for, but crews run throughout Cameron County and the surrounding towns.
Do you pack as well as move in Brownsville?
Full pack, partial pack, or just the fragile things — kitchens, art and electronics are the usual partial-pack request. It matters beyond convenience: damage to a carton you packed yourself is generally not covered the way a professionally packed one is.
