Learn moreSeven jobs a standard truck plan won't cover
Most requests for specialty moving services in Ann Arbor come down to one item that won't leave like a sofa. In this town that can be a piano, since U-M's School of Music, Theatre & Dance alone owns about 250, roughly half grands and half uprights. Our team also moves gun safes, slate and non-slate pool tables, antique furniture, and large appliances such as refrigerators, washers, and dryers.
Each of those items calls for its own gear. Pianos ride on piano boards. Safes get plywood pathways and stair-climbing equipment. Slate gets wrapped piece by piece and travels flat. Tell us everything heavy or old at the estimate, so the crew and equipment match the house.
When the calendar is the hard part
Two of these services aren't about weight at all. Short-term storage helps when one lease ends before the next begins. That matters in a town where the city reports landfill waste climbing by more than 10 percent every May and August as students turn over. We pick your items up, hold them in a climate-controlled space, and deliver when you're ready.
Shipping and receiving covers a different gap: the sectional or online order that shows up before you do. We can accept it, inspect it, write down its condition, and hold it until move day. Ask at your estimate which of these fit your dates.
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

Ann Arbor Moving FAQs
Ask for both at the estimate. A house with a piano, a basement freezer, and a gap before closing needs one plan for all three, so the crew size and truck schedule account for everything.
Tell us what it is, roughly what it weighs, and how the stair turns. Photos of the landing help. We'd still want to see the route in person before giving you a number.
