Company information

Right off Highway 290 in Building B-5, Little Guys Movers has been shaking up Austin's moving scene since way before the city got trendy. Started back in '92 by some guy in Denton who just wanted to help people move without all the usual moving company nonsense, they've stuck to that same no-BS approach for over three decades. Here's what makes them different from your typical Austin movers: they actually seem to enjoy what they do. Their whole thing is "we move stuff and have fun doing it," which sounds cheesy until you meet their crews who show up ready to work and don't act like moving your couch is beneath them. They've got that small company feel even though they're spread across multiple states now. Unlike the big chains that treat you like a number, these guys will work with you on hourly rates, help with just loading or unloading if that's all you need, and they won't try pushing expensive services you don't want. Community-focused, honest pricing, and they actually answer their phones.
