Allen is steady, established family country, and SHWIX Movers does a lot of its most straightforward — and most local — work here. This isn’t the brand-new-construction churn of Celina or the acreage of Prosper. Allen is Twin Creeks and Watters Creek and block after block of brick two-story homes that families bought to put down roots. The typical move here is a trade-up across town or a few streets over, and we’ve got that rhythm down.
Lining up a move in this stretch of North Texas? our DFW crew works these master-planned subdivisions, gated communities, and Tollway-corridor towers most weeks.
Established neighborhoods and brick two-stories
The defining feature of an Allen move is stairs. These are mature two-story brick homes, and the older neighborhoods come with full flights, banister turns, and second-floor master suites and bonus rooms full of furniture. We don’t charge a stair surcharge or let stairs become an excuse to run up an hourly clock — we bring enough crew and the right equipment so the staircase is just part of the day. Tyrell’s stairs-and-high-rise crew handles the heavy second-floor work.
How we move Allen families
- No stair surcharge on the area’s two-story brick homes
- School-calendar-friendly weekday and staged scheduling
- Waived one-hour minimum for short local trade-ups within Allen
- Banister, wall, and floor protection on every staircase
- Disassembly and reassembly of beds, bunk sets, and bulky second-floor furniture
Local trade-ups and short hops
A lot of Allen moves stay inside Allen — a bigger house in Twin Creeks, a place closer to the school, or just across town. Those short hops are efficient work, so we waive the one-hour minimum and quote flat instead of running a meter on a two-mile drive. Because Allen is a family town, we fit the schedule around the school calendar, whether that means a weekday move or staging the load around drop-off.
Flat-rate, same crew, fully licensed
There is a single figure on the table before any work begins. Two movers and a truck are $175 an hour, three are $239, and short local moves quote flat. SHWIX holds Texas TxDMV registration and USDOT/MC authority and runs its own trucks and uniformed crews — the same crew loads and unloads, no broker, no mystery carrier.

We move Allen
Our crews work Allen week in and week out, so the gate codes, the HOA move-in windows, the new-build subdivisions, and the high-rise elevator reservations are second nature long before the truck pulls up. Our quote is one flat rate, written out in full — you will not find surprise charges hiding in the fine print.
