Quick Overview

iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

Not A Hobby Moving was founded in 2020 and works out of 4901 Airport Blvd, a commercial building on the Airport Boulevard corridor in Central Austin. Its Google listing shows 4.9 stars from about 570 reviews, and its own photos show crews with the company's lettered box trucks and furniture wrapped in pads and plastic on Austin jobs. The site lists local moves, long distance moves, packing and unpacking, moves to and from storage units, apartment, house and office moves, and specialty pieces such as pianos and appliances. Blankets, pads, shrink wrap and tape are included in its quotes. The footer shows TxDMV certificate 009092789C, though no USDOT number is listed. Hours run 8:00 to 7:00 on weekdays and into the weekend, which helps if you need a Sunday move.

Editorial Review

Our Take on Not A Hobby Moving

Not A Hobby is a strong local choice for a move between Central Austin neighborhoods where stairs, tight driveways and older houses call for patient crews. Packing materials are included in quotes, which makes price comparisons easier.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br><br>We had an amazing experience with Not A Hobby Moving! Our movers, Devin, Brandon, and a third gentleman whose name I unfortunately can’t remember, were absolutely fantastic.<br><br>We moved from Buda, Texas, to Midland, Texas, which is about a five-hour drive, going from a two-story apartment to a three-story apartment. Needless to say, this was no easy job, but these guys worked incredibly hard from beginning to end.<br><br>They were hardworking, diligent, professional, and genuinely funny, which made an otherwise stressful moving day much more enjoyable. What stood out to us most was their willingness to go above and beyond. They never once asked us for help, and whenever they noticed us carrying our own boxes, they immediately offered to take them off our hands so we wouldn’t have to lift a finger.<br><br>Their work ethic was outstanding, and despite the long drive, multiple flights of stairs, and physically demanding work, they maintained a great attitude throughout the entire process.<br><br>I genuinely cannot emphasize enough how hardworking these gentlemen were. They made a difficult move significantly easier, and we are extremely grateful for their help.<br><br>I would absolutely hire Not Hobby Moving again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, hardworking movers. Thank you, gentlemen, for everything!

    Best moving experience I have ever had. Jordan and Brandon are amazing. Moved from a 2 story town home to a 3rd level apartment. These guys absolutely killed it! Thought it was going to take 5 hours and they did it in 2.5 hrs. I will never use another company. Not a hobby is a no brainer

    I was moving from a one bedroom first floor apartment 1/4 mile away to a fifth floor apartment with freight elevators and it took them six hours to move me. They didn’t have another move lined up and I feel that they moved to slow as they could to drive my bill up to $1500. I will never use them again and I recommend you don’t either..

Company Background

About Not A Hobby Moving

Not A Hobby Moving is a Central Austin mover founded in 2020. The Google listing ranked here sits at 4901 Airport Blvd, a commercial property on the Airport Boulevard corridor, and the site lists a second address in Southwest Austin. The name is a joke about taking the job seriously, and the reviews tend to mention crews by first name and the care taken with wrapping.

The company covers local moves within Austin, longer moves, packing and unpacking, moves to and from storage units, apartments, houses and offices, plus specialty work such as pianos, appliances, single items and last minute jobs. Its quotes include moving blankets, pads, shrink wrap and tape, which is worth comparing because some firms charge for materials separately. The site photos show its own white and blue box trucks with the company name painted on the side and crews in branded shirts.

The footer lists TxDMV certificate 009092789C. The site does not give a USDOT number. A search of the FMCSA system by name shows an active intrastate household goods carrier called Not A Hobby Moving Company with three power units, but because the site does not publish that number we have not treated it as confirmed. Ask the office for the USDOT number if your move is long.

On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 570 reviews as of 11 November 2026. The office keeps hours seven days a week, 8:00 to 7:00 on weekdays, 8:00 to 5:00 on Saturday and 9:00 to 5:00 on Sunday.
