Move-In Windows Are Non-Negotiable
Apartment complexes off Bayou Blue and the newer buildings near Bayou Cane both run tight two-to-four-hour move-in windows, and property managers charge for going over. Our crews show up with the certificate of insurance the leasing office asked for already in hand — Jerome Batiste keeps that paperwork ready before the truck ever leaves the yard, so nobody’s standing in a leasing office lobby waiting on a fax.
What Changes With Multi-Family
- Elevator reservation confirmed with the property manager in advance
- Stairwell moves quoted separately from elevator buildings
- Hallway and doorframe padding to protect deposit-eligible walls
- Parking permit coordination for the truck in lot-only complexes
- Second-unit shuttle runs when the elevator is shared with other tenants moving the same day
- Load order planned around which floor unloads first, to avoid double-handling in a single elevator car
We’ve worked enough leasing offices around Houma-Thibodaux to know which ones require a certificate faxed 48 hours out and which ones just want the truck parked out of the fire lane. Call (888) 278-9005 before your date is set, and we’ll confirm the building’s own rules ourselves instead of leaving that research to you the week of the move.
Humidity plays a part indoors too — hallway carpets in older Houma-area buildings hold moisture longer than you’d expect, so we use furniture sliders instead of dragging dollies across them, and we time exterior loading around the afternoon thunderstorms that roll in most summer days.
What's Covered
- Elevator reservations confirmed with your property manager in advance
- Certificate of insurance sent to the leasing office before move day
- Hallway and doorframe padding to protect your security deposit
- Stairwell crews sized differently than elevator-building crews
- Shuttle loads for buildings with shared or slow elevators
- Move-in window tracked so you're never charged a lease overage fee
Our Services
A one-room load in Bayou Cane and a full house headed out to Atlanta both start with the same nine-service lineup and the same crew roster — nothing gets handed off partway through.
Our Range Of Services IncludesLocal Houma Moves
Gray gets the same crew as Bayou Blue -- load it, drive it, set it down, done inside a day regardless of which end of the parish you're on.
Learn More →Long-Distance & Interstate Moves
Six lanes cover most of what leaves the state from here: Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Jackson, Mobile, Memphis. Whoever wraps it at the yard rides along and carries it in at the other end.
Learn More →Residential Moves
A Schriever starter home and a bigger Bourg house get the exact same care -- nothing gets set down until you say where it goes.
Learn More →Apartment & Multi-Family Moves
Elevators booked, move-in windows confirmed -- our crews have worked enough Thibodaux and Raceland complexes to know the routine before we ever knock.
Learn More →Full-Service Packing
Glassware, mirrors, electronics -- everything gets wrapped against the humidity before it's boxed, whether that's one room in Chauvin or a whole house in Dulac.
Learn More →Short-Term Storage
Waiting out a closing date in Cut Off or riding out hurricane season before Golden Meadow's ready -- either way, the storage stays dry until you need it back.
Learn More →Piano Moving
Raised camp in Montegut, slab house in Gibson, doesn't matter -- moving an upright or a baby grand across the bayou just takes the right straps and a crew that's done it before.
Learn More →Labor-Only Load/Unload Help
Got the truck already for a Larose or Bayou Cane move? We'll send the muscle to load or unload it on your schedule -- you keep the wheel.
Learn More →Senior & Retirement Moves
A Thibodaux or Raceland downsize doesn't get rushed here -- we go room by room, at whatever pace actually works for the household.
Learn More →What To Expect
A Houma move breaks down into four stages, start to finish — here is what each one looks like.
Kim Walks The Job With You
Most of it happens over the phone — stairs, a stilt-house landing, storm-season flexibility, whatever's actually in the house — before she puts a number to it.
Jerome Locks In The Paperwork
Coverage, certificate of insurance if a leasing office needs one, and the final number all get confirmed before the crew is dispatched, not worked out after the fact.
Wade Or Dominic Runs The Crew
Whichever one is on your job, furniture gets wrapped before anything is carried through a doorway, stairwell, or stilt-house ramp.
Setup, Not Just A Drop-Off
Beds get reassembled, boxes land in the room they're labeled for, and the crew takes the packing debris with them on the way out.
Why Houma Keeps Booking Us
Same Crew Chiefs, Year After Year
Wade has run the long-distance side since 2014 and Dominic has led local jobs since 2017 — ask either one about a route or a neighborhood and they'll know it firsthand, not from a training binder.
Stilt Houses And Storm Season Are Normal Here
A piano down a raised staircase, a closing date that slips because of a storm watch, a driveway that floods after a hard rain — none of that throws off the schedule, because it's what most weeks look like in Terrebonne Parish.
One Crew, Start To Finish
Wade's crew loads the truck on Barrow Street and is still the one unloading it whether the drop-off is a short hop to Mobile or the two-day haul up to Atlanta.

What Our Clients Say
“Hired them to move my mother out of her Chauvin house of forty years into assisted living in Houma. They labeled every box by room and let her set the pace.”
“Full pack for our Dulac house took most of the day with all the humidity we get down here, but every piece of glassware made it across town dry and unbroken. Kim's estimate was right on the money.”
“Getting Grandma's old upright down a narrow Larose stairwell sounded like a disaster waiting to happen, but the two guys who showed up had clearly done this before — straps, a dolly, and maybe fifteen minutes of careful work.”
Questions We Get Most
Bayou Moving answers these on nearly every call from Houma, LA.
Will you deal with our leasing office directly?
Yes — Jerome Batiste sends the certificate of insurance to the property manager ahead of time so you don't have to relay paperwork.
What if the elevator breaks down that day?
We build stairwell contingency into every elevator-building quote, so a backup plan is already priced in.
Do you charge more for a third-floor walk-up?
Stairwell buildings are quoted separately from elevator buildings since the labor time is different — no surprise add-on.
