FollowBusiness owner, Greg King, started his own business in 1995 and called the company “The Antique Movers”. Operating in the Dallas area, his company specialized in moving antiques to and from antique shops in malls, and decorative pieces for interior designers. As the years passed and the skills of competently and safely moving these valuable objects were perfected, Mr. King decided to expand his moving expertise to include relocations with homes, apartments, and offices. In November 2005, the business name was changed to King Moving Company and is currently located in Plano, Texas serving Plano, the surrounding areas, as well as conducting statewide moves.
