Our Long Distance Moving Process in Denton

After more than 45 years, our professional team knows a long-distance move works best with a clear plan. Customers have trusted us with moves from the DFW area to places like Fayetteville, AK, and Leesburg, VA, and their reviews mention smooth packing and no damage.

Step 1: Get Your Estimate

Start with a ballpark estimate for a quick idea of cost. Then ask for an in-home estimate so we can see what is being moved, how far it is being transported and what services are needed. The in-home estimate will give you a more accurate cost estimate.

Step 2: Plan, Pack and Load

We set your dates and deliver supplies, or our crew packs for you. We blanket wrap your furniture and load the truck with care. Need a place for your things before your new home is ready? Ask about our storage options.

Step 3: Delivery

Your shipment travels to your new home with help from the Wheaton World Wide Moving network. We keep you notified along the way, and depending on the distance, your belongings will arrive in one to three weeks. Our team can unpack, place each box in the right room, and haul away used boxes if you want that help.

Why Are So Many People Moving To and From Denton?

Denton has a lot going for it, including its college-town character, job opportunities, and proximity to the DFW metroplex. Those pluses are reflected in Denton County’s explosive growth. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the county had about 1,045,120 people in July 2024, up 15.3% from the 2020 count.

The University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University attract students, faculty and staff, while education, healthcare, manufacturing and logistics provide other career opportunities. As of September 2026, Zillow puts the typical Denton home value at about $343,177.

For newcomers, affordability is a draw. Payscale places Denton’s overall cost of living about 4% below the national average. These costs appeal to buyers and renters relocating from pricier communities who still want access to the region’s employers and amenities.

Moves out of Denton hint at the other side of its university-centered economy: students finish their degrees and graduates relocate to pursue careers elsewhere. Residents who work outside the city may also consider moving closer to their jobs rather than continuing a regional commute. A recent study also found that limited affordable housing and university growth are among the factors shaping Denton’s residential patterns. Below-average overall living costs do not guarantee affordability for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on four things: your shipment’s weight, the distance traveled, any added services and seasonal demand. A heavier load, a longer trip, extra services like packing and unpacking and a busy time of year can all raise the price. Ask us for a free ballpark estimate or an in-home estimate to find out how much your move might cost.

Released value is the basic, no-extra-cost option, and it pays only 60 cents per pound per item. Full value protection makes the mover responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged items. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration explains both and recommends checking your homeowner’s policy before buying extra coverage. The Surface Transportation Board notes that a 20-pound TV would pay only $12 under the basic level, so be sure to ask about your options before moving day.

It means we are a local moving company that works with a national van line with over 200 agents. You get a Denton team that knows you, plus the reach of a national network. Duryea holds TxDMV number 005075663, USDOT number 70719 and MC number 87113 for interstate moves.

We suggest one. A ballpark estimate is a quick first look, but an in-home estimate lets us see what you’re moving so we can provide you with a more accurate quote. Both are easy to schedule through our estimate form.

Yes. We offer short- and long-term storage in wooden vaults in a secure, temperature-controlled facility. We also track your items with an itemized inventory.

I recently hired Duryea Moving Company to help move my parents from the home they loved for over 20 years to an assisted living facility 60 miles away. This was understandably an emotional and logistically challenging move, but Sam and his team... handled everything with great care and professionalism. The crew worked efficiently and respectfully as my parents were present when their belongings were being packed.I highly recommend Duryea Moving Company!read more

Pam Taylor

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. We recently downsized from a two story home to a one story home for health reasons. Some friends recommended this company. I checked out several companies and this was the only company who personally... came out to give us a quote. Not only did they come out but it was the owner, Todd Duryea who visited us. I was impressed with the personalized service and his time. His team of employees are absolutely THE best! They worked incredibly hard on our behalf and showed such care with our belongings. I believe a team and their worth filters down from the top. Mr. Duryea has surrounded himself with likeminded people who work hard and care about their customers. How refreshing to have customer satisfaction be the top goal! Thank you Duryea Moving for making this incredibly hard task so much easier!read more

We just completed a major move from Dallas to Fayetteville, AR using Duryea Moving & Storage. Considering our experience using them 8 years ago, we did not seek any other bids. OUTSTANDING JOB on both moves.I am very impressed with Duryea's moving... crews. They are hard workers, professional, and honest. I am blown away that in both moves we did not incur any damage! We had Desi and Justin as our primary crew on the latest move and would highly recommend them.read more

These people are the best!! I've moved all over the world and this, my last move, was the smoothest ever. Todd and his crew went beyond good service. When the Salvation Army didn't turn up to pick up furniture we didn't want to move, they offered... to drop it off for me. They arrived when they said they would and when he had extra truck room, offered to transport some of my really big potted plants.Can't say enough good things about them.read more
