Moving in Stanton
Stanton is a small county seat with deep roots. German settlers founded it as Marienfeld, and the 2020 census counted 2,657 people, every one of them classed as rural. Cotton farms and ranches surround the town, so a lot of Stanton moves come with a farmhouse, a barn and furniture that has been in the family for generations. We moved 24 Stanton households last year.

Moving Into Midland From Stanton?
Stanton is about 20 miles northeast of Midland on I-20 and about 40 from Odessa. Both moves are local, billed by the hour with the drive included.
Farmhouse moves run longer because of barns and long drives, so we like a 7 a.m. start.
How Much Do Movers Cost in Stanton, TX?
Movers in Stanton usually cost $119 to $189 an hour in 2026 for a truck with two or three movers. A three-bedroom house going into Midland typically runs $1,200 to $1,900. A farmhouse with outbuildings and a long gravel drive takes longer, so we price those after a walkthrough or a video call.

| 3 bedroom, Stanton to Midland | $1,200 to $1,900 | 6 to 8 hours |
| Farmhouse plus barn contents | $1,600 to $2,800 | 8 to 11 hours |
| Antique piano, local | $300 to $500 | 1 to 2 hours |
Moving Services We Offer in Stanton
Farm and Ranch Homes
Long gravel drives, farmhouses with tall porch steps and barns full of tack and tools. We bring extra hands for the long carry and load the barn separately from the house.
Heirloom and Antique Furniture
Pie safes, old pianos, glass-front cabinets and family china get custom wraps and their own spot in the truck where nothing rides on top. We’d rather spend an extra hour on one heirloom than rush it. Tell us which pieces matter most and the crew lead packs them first.
In-Town Moves
Houses on the grid around the Martin County courthouse move fast. Most two and three bedroom homes are loaded before lunch, and the trip into Midland takes about 25 minutes on I-20.
Long Distance Moves
Big Spring, Lubbock, Abilene and farther out. One crew, one truck and one written price.
What to Know About Moving in Stanton
Stanton dates to the 1880s, and John Scharbauer set up a cattle ranch nearby in 1887. Some houses in town go back generations, with steep porch steps and narrow inside doors, so big furniture usually comes apart before it goes anywhere.
Farm roads around Stanton are dust in a dry spell and mud after a storm. We check the weather before every farmhouse move, and every time we bring floor runners for the entry, the dirt stays outside where it belongs.
Planning a Farmhouse Move
Most Stanton farmhouse moves follow the same order. First the house, because that is what the family needs that night. Then the barn and shop, often on a second day or a second truck. Last the odds and ends: the deep freezer from the porch, the swing set, the pile of fence panels nobody wants to leave behind.
Tell us what is in the barn before we quote. Saddles and tack ride fine with the household. Tractors, implements and anything on its own trailer need a flatbed, which we can point you toward. Feed, chemicals and fuel cannot ride on a moving truck at all.
Moving From Stanton to Midland
Twenty miles of I-20 and you are in Midland, which is why so many Stanton families move in for work and schools. It is a local move, billed by the hour, and a three-bedroom house is usually unloaded the same afternoon.
Coming Home to Martin County
We also move people back, usually grown kids returning to take over the family place. Those moves often come from Dallas or Austin on a long distance quote, and we can store part of the load while the old house gets fixed up.
Harvest Season and Moving Dates
October through December, cotton harvest puts module trucks and equipment on the farm roads and the gins run long hours. If you farm, you probably are not moving then anyway. If you are moving a farmhouse in the fall, we plan around harvest traffic on the county roads and avoid the busiest gin days when we can. Late winter and early spring are the easiest dates out here.
For in-town moves the season matters less. Summer is busy because of school, so book early, and pick a weekday if your schedule allows it.
Farther east on I-20, past the cotton gins, we also move families in Big Spring.
Movers in Stanton FAQs
Do you move antiques and heirlooms?
Yes. Antiques get extra pads, corner guards and a spot in the truck where nothing heavy sits on them. Glass doors and mirrors come off and ride in their own cartons. Tell us which pieces are family heirlooms, and the crew lead packs those personally.
Is a move from Stanton to Odessa local?
Yes. Stanton sits about 40 miles from Odessa and 20 from Midland, both well inside local range. You pay by the hour for the crew and truck, and the drive time between the two houses is just part of the bill. No mileage charge on top.
Can you pack up a farmhouse that has been lived in for decades?
Yes. Old family homes hold more than anyone expects, so we plan an extra day for packing. We sort into keep, family, donate and haul away as we go, and can drop pieces at relatives’ houses in Midland or Odessa on the same trip.
Your Move Is Our Priority
“My husband works a 14 on, 14 off schedule out of Pecos, so I booked the whole move from my phone. They packed the kitchen the day before and had us in the new place in Midland before he got home. Not one dish broken.”
Marisol R.Odessa to Midland “Three guys, one truck, a 4 bedroom brick house off Grandview and my mother’s upright piano. Wrapped everything, strapped it like they meant it and were done by 3. The bill matched the quote to the dollar.”
Dale W.Odessa “Our closing got pushed back two weeks. They kept our whole house in their warehouse and delivered it out to Gardendale the day we got the keys. Easy.”
