You're not moving a house. You're moving a business. Every hour the office is down is an hour you're not billing, treating patients, processing orders, or open to customers. You need a crew that gets in, moves fast, and gets out — preferably on a weekend or after-hours, so Monday morning your team walks into the new space and just gets to work.
Half Price Movers provides commercial moving services across San Antonio for businesses that can't afford downtime. We move offices, clinics, retail, small warehouses, and light industrial across the city and the metro — downtown, the Medical Center, Stone Oak, the airport corridor, Northwest business parks, and out to Schertz, Boerne, and New Braunfels.
If you searched for movers in San Antonio and landed here wondering whether you need something different from a residential mover, here's the short version: commercial moving services handle business relocations — offices, clinics, retail, warehouses. The work overlaps with residential moving but the constraints are different. Downtime costs money. IT can't just be unplugged. Files have confidentiality requirements. Leases have specific move-out and move-in windows.

This is the part most movers don't think about. A house can sit half-empty for a weekend with no consequence. A business can't. Here's how we approach it:
Before we quote, we walk both spaces — old and new. We identify the order of operations: what gets disconnected first, what gets loaded last, what gets set up first at the destination so essential functions are running again as quickly as possible.
For larger offices, we sometimes move in phases — back-office and storage areas on Friday night, customer-facing areas Saturday, IT and conference rooms last. Means parts of the business are operational throughout.
Most of our commercial moves happen Friday night through Sunday so Monday morning is a normal business day in the new space. After-hours weekday moves also work for businesses that close at 6 PM and reopen at 9 AM.
Before the move, we work with you on a floor plan and labeling system so every piece of furniture and every box ends up in the right room — and the right place within that room — without your team having to direct us during the move.
We don't pretend to be your IT team, but we know not to disconnect a server before it's been properly shut down, not to repurpose a monitor cable as a strap, and to keep cables bundled with the equipment they belong to. For larger IT moves, we coordinate with your IT vendor on disconnection and reconnection timing.
We tell you when we'll be done and we mean it. If we're behind, you'll know two hours in, not at 11 PM Saturday night.
We bring them, sized to the job. Most office moves need a 26' or two smaller trucks running in parallel to compress timeline.
Our movers are HPM employees who do commercial work regularly. They know how to handle office furniture (desks come apart in specific orders), file cabinets (don't tip without locking), and the kind of glass-top conference tables you can break by looking at them wrong.
Furniture pads, dollies (including office-furniture dollies and four-wheel platform dollies for heavy file cabinets), hand trucks, shrink wrap, mattress bags (for upholstered office furniture), and straps.
Modular desks, cubicle systems, conference tables, shelving. We'll break it down at the old space and put it back together at the new one. For more complex systems, we coordinate with your vendor or installer.
Color-coded labels by room and destination, inventory lists when needed for insurance or accounting.
Registered with the TxDMV, carrying cargo insurance and general liability. Verify any mover in Texas through the TxDMV — and you should, especially for a business move.
Most commercial landlords require a COI from any vendor working on the property. We provide them — just tell us who needs to be named as additional insured and the policy limits required.
Hourly for most commercial moves, flat-rate available for larger or more complex jobs. No surprise fees.
Commercial moves are priced on the same fundamentals as residential moves — crew size, hours, access, and equipment — but the variables tend to skew toward bigger crews and tighter timelines:
Four to six movers for a typical small-to-mid office move. Larger jobs sometimes split across two crews running in parallel from different ends of the building.
A small office (5–10 people) usually moves over a single weekend day. A 30-person office is typically a Friday night plus Saturday. A 75-person office might be a Friday-through-Sunday operation.
Loading docks and freight elevators make commercial moves dramatically faster. Stairs and standard passenger elevators slow things down.
Server racks, large copiers, safes, restaurant equipment, specialty medical equipment. Doable, but they affect crew size and equipment requirements.
Boxing up the office is optional — some businesses pack themselves and have us load, others want us to handle it. We bring boxes and materials.
Standard. Weekend and after-hours work has a different rate than weekday daytime work — we'll quote it transparently up front.
For a real-world look at what office and commercial moves typically cost in this market, we break it down in our San Antonio moving cost guide.
We cover commercial moves throughout the San Antonio metro.
Downtown business district, the Pearl, Southtown commercial corridors, the Broadway cultural corridor.
The Medical Center, Stone Oak, the I-10 corridor, UTSA-area offices, La Cantera and the Rim business areas, Northwest industrial parks.
The airport business corridor, the 281/410 office cluster, Schertz and Cibolo commercial and light industrial.
Boerne, New Braunfels, and Hill Country business relocations.
If you're inside Loop 1604 we're there. Outside it, ask — commercial moves are something we travel for.
Old space on the third floor of a downtown building, new space three blocks away with a loading dock and freight elevator. Friday night through Saturday afternoon — four movers, two trucks, color-coded by attorney's office. Confidentiality preserved with sealed file boxes. Monday morning the firm opened in the new space without missing a court filing.
Six-operatory dental office relocating to a larger space nearby. We handled furniture, files, and the non-installed equipment. The dental chair vendor handled the chair disconnection and reinstallation on a coordinated schedule. Two-day move scheduled around a Thursday and Friday the practice was already closed for a long weekend.
Small retail space, lots of inventory, custom display fixtures. Closed Sunday and Monday for the move. Three movers, one truck, inventory packed in the order it would be unpacked at the new space so the shop owner could re-merchandise quickly and reopen Tuesday.
40-person accounting firm moving offices in October, well ahead of tax season. Five movers, two trucks, weekend-only move with detailed labeling by department. Server room moved last after the IT vendor confirmed shutdown.
Landlord requirements. Most commercial landlords require advance notice of move dates, restrict move hours, and require a COI from your mover. Get those requirements from your property manager early and pass them to us.
Building access. Loading docks, freight elevators, after-hours security access — find out who has the keys and who needs to be on site for the move window. Downtown high-rises and Medical Center towers are especially particular.
IT planning is separate from the physical move. Have your IT vendor's disconnect/reconnect schedule sorted before the move date. The physical move can't make up for an IT plan that doesn't exist.
Customer-facing businesses need a communication plan. Tell your customers when you'll be closed and when you'll reopen. We can hit a Monday-morning reopen, but only if your customers know to come Monday and not Sunday.
Texas summer affects timing. Weekend moves in July and August take longer than the same job in milder months. We staff and pace accordingly.
The national commercial moving companies aren't ripping you off — they have real costs. Fleet of trucks, fuel, franchise fees, national sales teams, corporate overhead. When you book one of them for a business move, you're paying for all of it wrapped into the bill, plus the markup that comes with selling to businesses (who, fairly or not, are assumed to have deeper pockets than homeowners).
We're a regional Texas mover. No franchise fees. No national sales team. No corporate dispatch layer in another state. The same trained crews that move houses move offices — they just work on a different schedule and with different equipment.
That's the whole HPM idea behind our commercial moving services in San Antonio. You get the same quality and reliability without paying business-customer pricing on top of full-service pricing.
