In-State Moving in Ann Arbor
In-state moving in Ann Arbor usually heads out on US-23, M-14, or I-94, and that choice shapes your day. Lansing is about 65 miles away, Grand Rapids about 134, and a U.P. move means the Mackinac Bridge.

Same-day moving in Ann Arbor depends on our schedule, so call first and we'll tell you what today looks like. The bigger local catch is the curb, because the city's parking lane form can't move that fast.
Learn moreLast-Minute Moving in Ann Arbor

Learn moreFull-Service Moving in Ann Arbor

Apartment Moving in Ann Arbor

Learn moreCondo Moving in Ann Arbor
Condo moving in Ann Arbor starts with your association's documents, not our truck. Michigan law binds owners and tenants alike to those rules, and a 26-story downtown tower needs a different plan from a low-rise community.
Learn moreTownhouse Moving in Ann Arbor

Learn moreSingle-Family Home Moving in Ann Arbor
Single-family home moving in Ann Arbor covers only about 40 percent of the city's housing, yet it's usually the largest job on the list. Hills, mature street trees, and split-level layouts change how a crew works the house.

Learn moreHow the city's housing splits
If you're pricing residential moving in Ann Arbor, start with the kind of home you're leaving. Census estimates for 2024 put renters in about 54 percent of occupied homes, and only about 40 percent of all units are detached houses. The rest is attached homes, small multi-unit buildings, and larger complexes. Each one turns on different things: stairs and curb space at a house, elevators and loading doors in a tower.
That mix may keep shifting. City Council voted 11-0 in March 2026 to adopt a land use plan calling for more varied housing, including duplexes and triplexes. The plan doesn't change zoning by itself, but it points toward more small buildings with shared entries.
Pick the page that fits your home
Each home type below has its own page, because the planning differs. Renters usually start with apartment moving or small moves. Owners of attached homes should look at condo or townhouse moving, since an association or co-op may have its own rules. Houses fall under single-family moves, and a parent's move to a retirement community fits senior moving.
Timing and scope get their own options too: local, in-state, same-day, last-minute, full-service, and labor-only. Every one includes furniture padding and wrapping, plus protection for floors and door frames. Not sure where you fit? Book an in-person estimate through our office at 4750 Venture Dr #400.
Included as standard
What Comes With Every Move
Whichever service you book, this is what shows up with the crew. It is already in your price.
Floor Protection
Your Floors Are Covered Before We Carry Anything
Before a single box moves, we lay down protection along every path we'll walk. Hardwood, tile, and carpet all get covered, so the only thing that changes about your home is that your furniture leaves it.
- Runners down the full walking path
- Carpet shield on stairs and landings
- Booties on in wet or snowy weather
Door & Wall Protection
Door Frames, Bannisters, and Corners Get Padded
Most move-day damage doesn't happen to your furniture. It happens to the doorway it had to squeeze through. We pad the tight spots first so the walls, trim, and railings come out of the day exactly how they went in.
- Padded door jambs and frames
- Wrapped bannisters and handrails
- Corner guards on tight turns
Everything Wrapped
Every Item Padded and Wrapped, Not Just the Nice Ones
Dressers, tables, headboards, mirrors, art, and appliances are individually blanket-padded and shrink-wrapped before they leave the room. There is no "we'll be careful" shortcut. Wrapping is the standard, and it's included.
- Moving blankets on every piece of furniture
- Shrink wrap to hold pads and doors shut
- Extra care for glass, mirrors, and antiques
Beds & Furniture
Beds Come Apart Here and Go Back Together There
We disassemble your beds, and we reassemble them in your new home. Same for tables, sectionals, and anything else that has to come apart to get out the door. You should not be sleeping on a mattress on the floor because your movers left at 4pm.
- Beds broken down and rebuilt the same day
- Hardware bagged, labeled, and kept with the piece
- Tables, sectionals, and desks handled the same way
Uniformed Crews
Professional Movers. In Uniform. Every Time.
Your crew shows up in a clean company uniform, background-checked and trained. No sweatpants, no cigarette or cannabis smell, no attitude in your living room. These are employees who represent the company, not day labor pulled together that morning.
- Clean, matching uniforms on every crew member
- Background-checked and drug-free employees
- Introduced by name when they arrive
Home Staging
We Set Your New Home Up, We Don't Just Dump Boxes
Boxes go to the room they belong in. Furniture gets placed where you want it, not stacked in the garage. Before we leave, we walk the house with you and move anything that isn't sitting exactly right.
- Boxes delivered to the correct room
- Furniture placed where you point
- Final walkthrough before we pull away
Crew Performance Guarantee
A Mover Who Doesn't Pull His Weight Costs You Nothing
If someone on your crew shows up out of uniform, drags his feet, or just isn't doing a good job, you tell your coordinator and we fix it that day. We swap in a replacement mover, or we take that mover's time off your bill. You should never pay full price for someone who didn't earn it.
- One call to your coordinator, no forms and no arguing
- A replacement mover swapped in the same day
- Or that mover's time refunded off your final bill
