Katy's Trusted Movers,
Doing This Right Since 1985
Moving in Katy is not quite like moving anywhere else around Houston. Between the master-planned communities with their gate codes and move-in windows, the new construction off the Grand Parkway, and families timing everything around the Katy ISD calendar, a Katy move has its own rhythm. Betton Moving Company has been handling moves across Katy and the greater Houston area since 1985. That is more than 40 years of loading trucks in Cinco Ranch driveways, working within HOA rules, and getting families settled before the first day of school.
Licensed and insured. US DOT and Texas DOT registered. BBB accredited A+. Serving Katy since 1985.

Local Movers Who Know Katy
Katy has grown from a small rice-farming town into one of the most sought-after places to live west of Houston, and it shows in how people move here. Most of our Katy customers are not moving across the street. They are moving into a master-planned community for the schools, upsizing to a larger home as their family grows, or relocating from another part of Houston to shorten the commute to the Energy Corridor.
That mix matters, because a Katy move usually means more square footage, more belongings, and more planning than a typical move closer to the city. A four-bedroom home in Firethorne holds far more than a downtown condo, and the crew that shows up needs to know how to pack, load, and place an entire household without rushing or cutting corners.
We have been doing exactly that here for four decades. We know which communities require you to schedule your move-in through the HOA, which ones gate off truck access after certain hours, and how to plan a move around the Katy ISD calendar so your kids are unpacked and settled before classes start. That local knowledge is the difference between a move that runs smoothly and one that stalls at the front gate.

Moving Into a Katy
Master-Planned Community
This is where a Katy move really stands apart, and where an experienced local crew earns its keep. Communities like Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, and Cane Island are wonderful places to live, but they come with rules that catch a lot of movers off guard.
Many require you to register your move with the HOA in advance and reserve a specific move-in window. Some gate off access for moving trucks during certain hours or require a code, a call ahead, or a check-in with a guard. Newer sections off the Grand Parkway often have narrow streets, tight cul-de-sacs, and active construction that make maneuvering a large truck difficult if you do not know the area.
If you are moving into a brand new construction home, there are extra considerations too. The floors, walls, and fixtures are pristine, and you want them to stay that way. Our crews use floor runners, door jamb protectors, and proper padding so your first day in a new home does not start with a scuff on a fresh wall.
We handle all of this as part of the job. Tell us your community and your move-in date, and we will help you line up the HOA requirements and plan the logistics so nothing holds up your move.
