A slower, more careful move for downsizing, assisted living, or getting closer to family.
A senior move is not a race. One crew lead walks the home with you before anything is touched, asks what matters most, and sets the pace for the day. Every box is labeled by room. Furniture goes where you want it, not where it is easiest to set down. Before we leave, the bed is made, the lamps are plugged in and the TV is working.
Going from a four-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment means decisions about forty years of things. We do that sorting with you and the family, room by room: keep, give to family, donate, let go. Our packers box the keepers. Our junk removal crew takes the donations and the haul-away, priced by the load. Anything nobody is ready to decide on goes into storage until they are.
Independent living, assisted living and memory care communities each have their own rules for moving residents in. We coordinate the elevator reservation, the move-in window and where the truck can park with the community's move-in coordinator before the day. We have moved people into communities across McKinney, Frisco, Plano and Allen, so the paperwork and the loading dock are familiar ground. The apartment is set up the same day, with the bed made and the familiar things in place, so the first night feels like home.
Many of these moves are arranged by a son or daughter who lives in another city. You get one Zip Zap team member as your point of contact from the first call through the last box. We text you when the crew arrives, when the truck is loaded and when the setup is finished, with photos of the new place before we leave. The estimate goes to whoever is paying, and nothing moves forward until they approve it.
Senior moves are priced the same way as every local move: 2 movers and a truck for $179 an hour, plus one flat $129 trip charge. 2-hour minimum. You only pay for the hours the crew works.
| Crew size | Hourly rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $179/hr |
| 3 movers + truck | $209/hr |
| 4 movers + truck | $249/hr |
| 5 movers + truck | $289/hr |
| Trip charge (truck, fuel, equipment) | $129 once |
A senior move usually takes a bit longer than a standard move of the same size, because we go slower, pack more carefully and set up the new place before we leave. The honest way to know the number is a free in-home walkthrough. Matt, the owner, comes out in person, never by video, looks at what is going and what is staying, and gives you an exact figure the family can approve before anything is booked.
Matt comes to the house in person, meets whoever is involved, and sees what is going, what is staying and what needs a decision. You get an exact number for the family to approve.
We line the move date up with the community's move-in window, book the elevator, and schedule packing, storage or a cleanout around it if you need them. No deposit.
The crew lead walks the home, the crew wraps and loads at a steady pace, and the new place is set up the same day. You pay when the job is done.

"Moved from a two story to another two story. These guys did great — no damage and work done quickly. I was skeptical of the hourly rate but it wasn't a problem. We will use them again without a doubt."
"Matt and his team are very professional. They have helped me move businesses and storage units. They are my only call everytime."
"The experience with Zip Zap Moving was the best I've had in Dallas. Matt was hands on, going so far as to stop by during the loading. I will never use another moving service in DFW. “5 stars baby, 5 stars.”"
