About Unicorn Moving & Storage

At Unicorn Moving & Storage, we believe moving should be more than just boxes and trucks—it should be a smooth, stress-free experience. That’s why we’ve spent the last 30 years turning moving day into something our customers can actually look forward to. Our mission is simple: Turn frowns upside down. We accomplish that with a 5-star attitude, a hardworking team, and a deep commitment to integrity and reliability.
As an independent, veteran-owned moving company, we uphold the highest industry standards. With over 100,000 moves completed since 1994, we’ve built a reputation across Texas for doing things the right way, every time.
