A Houston Crew, Houston-Owned

Marco Villanueva grew up in a Northside bungalow off the East End and spent years running crews across Harris County — Galleria high-rises, Heights bungalows, Katy new-builds — before opening Space City Movers in 2012. He still takes the toughest downtown high-rise and third-floor walk-up jobs himself, Gulf Coast heat and all.

Who Handles Your Move

Yvette Marchand has managed the office for nine years, writing flat-rate quotes and pulling together the certificates of insurance high-rises and HOAs ask for. Reggie Duplantis works the dispatch board, routing crews from Katy out to Pearland with gate codes and dock times sorted ahead.

Meet the Crew Chiefs

Cody Trahan, lead crew chief for twelve years, runs the pianos, gun safes, and tight freight-elevator jobs. Andre Betancourt leads the long hauls out I-10 and up I-45, and Kwame Osei handles apartment and student move-ins around Midtown and the university areas.

Licensed for Texas and Interstate

Space City Movers holds a Texas (TxDMV) household-goods moving license plus US DOT and MC authority for interstate work. Every mover on your job is a W-2 employee on our own payroll — driver to helper — never a subcontractor or day-labor hand.

Why Houston Families Choose Us

  • Every mover is hired, vetted, and put in uniform by us — no borrowed help
  • Whatever flat number you sign for is exactly what lands on the final bill
  • Our scheduling accounts for Gulf Coast heat, humidity, and hurricane season
  • Your load travels by itself in a truck we own — a shared trailer never enters into it
  • The same crew handles both ends, so nobody hands your things off partway through

The short answer is yes: Space City Movers is an owner-run, fully licensed and insured moving company here in Houston, TX. We put our own trucks and uniformed crews on every job, and Marco Villanueva stakes his own name on each move, start to finish.

02 Why us

An in-house crew, never a middleman

Hire us and the trucks, the movers, and the name on the paperwork all belong to the same company. A broker simply resells your job to whatever carrier bids cheapest, then steps out of the picture once you’ve signed.

Space City Movers
  • Trucks we own, run by a vetted, full-time crew
  • A single written flat rate — the quote is the final bill
  • The movers who load your home are the ones who unload it
  • Licensed, insured, and running on our own US DOT and MC authority
  • One local office and one contact from first call to last box
The typical broker
  • Sells your job off to whichever carrier bids the least
  • Add-on charges and a fresh quote dropped on you come move day
  • Total strangers turn up to handle your belongings
  • No straight answer on who actually holds the liability
  • A phone bank standing in for a real local crew

See why Houston families stay with us.

Set up a free walk-through and shake hands with the folks who’ll load your truck — a Houston-owned crew whose prices don’t budge.
