Not every move needs a full crew and a full-size truck, and we don’t price it like it does. Small moves cover studio and one-bedroom apartments, a single room’s worth of furniture, or a handful of large items going a short distance — the kind of job that’s too much for a couple of friends and a pickup truck but doesn’t need seven guys and a moving truck built for a four-bedroom house.
How Small Moves Are Priced Differently
- A smaller crew, usually two movers rather than a full team, sized to match a lighter load.
- A lower minimum charge than our standard residential jobs, reflecting the shorter time and smaller truck actually needed.
- Still a flat quote from a quick inventory list or a few photos, not an hourly rate that punishes a job for being small.
- Same padding, same care, same crew standards as any larger move — small doesn’t mean lower priority.
A lot of our small-move calls come from young professionals renting their first apartment in Plano or Frisco, or from someone moving a single room’s worth of furniture between homes in the same neighborhood. These jobs tend to move fast once booked, since there’s less to plan around — no dock reservation, no elevator window, sometimes just a couple of flights of stairs and a short drive across town.
If your small move is out of an apartment building with its own dock or elevator rules, check our apartment page for those logistics specifically. And if it turns out you need loading help only, without a truck from us, our labor-only page covers that instead. Call (469) 302-5518 and describe what you’re moving — we’ll tell you honestly if it qualifies as a small move.
Good questions
McKinney moving questions, answered
What qualifies as a small move?
Generally a studio or one-bedroom apartment, a single room of furniture, or a small handful of large items — call and describe your move and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits.
Is a small move cheaper than a standard residential move?
Yes, typically — a smaller crew and lower minimum apply, reflecting the shorter time and smaller truck the job actually needs.
Do I still get a flat quote for a small move, or is it hourly?
Flat, the same as our other moves — built from a quick inventory or a few photos rather than an open-ended hourly clock.
What if my "small move" turns out to be bigger once your crew arrives?
Tell the crew lead during the initial walkthrough at pickup — if the scope is meaningfully bigger than described, we requote before loading, not after.
Why McKinney books us
Why choose Delta One Moving Companies?
One dedicated crew runs your move from the first call to the last box off the truck, in our own trucks, and the invoice matches what we told you on the phone.
Zero Gap, Every Invoice
The number you sign before move day is the number we collect after it — no add-on for a stuck elevator, a triple-digit afternoon, or extra padding on the truck.
Our Trucks, Our Payroll
Every hand on your load is a W-2 employee in our uniform — we don’t fill trucks with day-labor crews or pass your move to a subcontractor down the line.
Texas-Registered & Covered
Current Texas household-goods registration, cargo coverage riding on every haul, and a certificate of insurance to your HOA or property manager the same day you ask for one.
We Know These Streets
US-75 backing up solid on the Plano-to-McKinney commute, the narrow drives around the historic Downtown Square, a fresh subdivision off the US-380 corridor where the street signs just went in — all of it gets mapped out before your crew ever touches the truck.
A Real Person Answers
Call and a real McKinney office employee picks up — never an overseas script-reader. We hold to the arrival window we quote, and rebooking your date never comes with a penalty.

Treated like it’s ours
What happens to your things on the truck
Wrapped before it leaves the room
Every sofa, table, and dresser gets blanket-wrapped and shrink-filmed while it’s still sitting where you left it — nothing goes down the hallway bare.
Floors and door frames get covered first
Down go the floor runners and padding on every door jamb before a single box moves, so the walk out and the walk in both stay mark-free.
Beds and tables come apart and go back together
Cribs, dining tables, and bed frames get broken down for the ride and reassembled at the new place — you don’t touch a screwdriver.
Fragile items ride alone
Mirrors, artwork, glassware, and electronics get their own dedicated cartons with corner protection — never wedged between the couch cushions.
The truck does the lifting
Straps, dollies, and ramps take the weight of the heavy pieces, so nothing gets dragged, dropped, or muscled up a staircase.
Same hands, start to finish
Whoever wraps the first box is still there setting down the last one — no new faces show up partway through your move.

How it works
Three steps, no drama
01
Tell us the basics
Call in or use the site form with your starting ZIP, destination ZIP, and roughly how many rooms are moving. That’s enough for a firm number back the same day — no home visit needed, no charge just for asking.
02
Lock in your date
Once you confirm, that truck and crew are booked under your name for the day. Need paperwork sent to a property manager or HOA first? We handle that before move day gets here.
03
We show up and close the gap
Your crew shows up inside the promised window, pads and wraps everything that needs it, and the total on the invoice matches your quote — nothing extra tacked on.
Ready to lock in your date?
We handle every load like it’s our own stuff riding in the truck — a single price, a single crew, no substitutions midway through. Tell us where you’re headed and you’ll have a firm number back before the day is out.
