Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage

How long has Johnnie T. Melia been in business?

Since 1969. We are a second-generation, family-owned moving company based in Houston. Over 55 years, we have completed thousands of local and long-distance moves for Houston families and businesses.

What makes JT Melia different from other Houston movers?

Three things: we never use day labor, we have been locally owned and operated since 1969, and we are ATA ProMover certified — a designation held by fewer than 10% of U.S. moving companies. Every crew member is a trained, full-time employee.

Are you licensed and insured in Texas?

Yes. Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage is fully licensed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV No. 0000005457) and carries cargo and liability insurance on every move. We are also a licensed agent for National Van Lines for interstate relocations. US DOT No. 436264

Do you move pianos, safes, and specialty items?

Yes. We have specialist equipment and trained crews for pianos (upright, baby grand, and grand), gun safes and document safes, fine art, antiques, and oversized items. These require a separate quote. Call us to discuss the specifics of your item.

Do you offer storage in Houston?

Yes. Our secure, monitored storage facility accepts short-term and long-term storage for households and businesses. Your belongings stay in our climate-controlled warehouse, not a shared public storage unit, until you are ready for delivery.
