How to Compare Moving Companies in Louisville, KY
Louisville has dozens of moving companies, and their quotes are hard to compare until you know what to ask. These are the questions that separate one estimate from another, with our answer to each.
- Who owns the trucks and employs the movers? We do. Horsepower Moving and Storage runs its own movers and its own trucks from our warehouse on Tucker Station Road.
- Is the company registered? Look up any mover’s USDOT number on the FMCSA’s free SAFER system. Ours is 4474565.
- When does the clock start? Ours starts when the movers arrive at your door, not when they leave the yard.
- Is there a minimum? We bill a two-hour minimum on labor, plus one flat truck fee set by where you’re moving.
- What does a weekend cost? The same as a weekday. We move 365 days a year.
- How big is the deposit? $100, and it comes off your final bill.
- Is furniture disassembly extra? Not with us. Disassembly and reassembly are included, and beds go back together the same day.
- Will they match another quote? Send us a competing written estimate and our operations team will review it and match it.
Every estimate is free and comes in writing before we schedule your date.
Moving and Storage in Louisville, Under One Estimate
If your new home isn’t ready, storage can go into your moving estimate. One company loads your home, holds your belongings and delivers them when you’re ready, so there’s no separate storage unit to find and coordinate. See our moving and storage services.
Furniture Movers in Louisville, KY
Our furniture movers take beds, tables and shelving apart rather than force them through a doorway, and reassemble everything at the new home at no extra charge, with beds done the same day. Upright pianos and safes between 300 and 500 pounds are moved as special items. Learn more about furniture disassembly and reassembly.

What customers are saying about Horsepower Moving and Storage.
Best Experience!
From start to finish, Al gave us the best moving experience we’ve ever had. He showed up early, walked through everything with us, and treated our home and belongings like they were their own. Not a single scratch on the walls or furniture. He worked nonstop but never rushed us when we had questions. Worth every penny.

Effortless Moving!
We have used horsepower moving twice, and both times we have been incredibly impressed by their speed and professionalism. Even with furniture pieces and heavy boxes that I was afraid might be large or awkward to handle, especially going to the second floor, they managed to take care of everything confidently. I would absolutely recommend them for any job.
Maria Riedinger
Trustworthy Movers!
I couldn’t be happier with my moving experience! The team was punctual, respectful, and extremely careful with all of my items. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and everything was completed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy movers!
Celetha Scott
Highly Recommended!
I hired movers from horsepower and the service was amazing! the movers were on time, efficient, organized, friendly, and kept busy the entire time they were moving for us. they packed the uhaul completely tight and after a 15 hour drive to florida, absolutely nothing had shifted inside the truck when I opened it the next day. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Our Moving Process
Three steps, and you know the cost before we start. Estimates are free and carry no obligation.
Get Your Free Estimate
Free, no obligation, and on-site whenever you'd like one - we recommend it for homes over 3,000 square feet, but we'll come out for any move. We walk the property, ask about anything heavy or awkward, and put the full price in writing before you book. A $100 deposit holds your date and comes off your final bill.
We Arrive and Load
Our crew calls with an ETA before they set off, arriving in a morning window (8–9am) or afternoon window (12–4pm). Mattresses come off frames and into bags, flat-screen TVs get wrapped, and furniture is disassembled rather than forced through a doorway. The clock starts when the crew arrives, not when they leave the yard.
Settle Into Your New Space
We place furniture where you want it and reassemble whatever we took apart at no extra charge - beds included, the same day, so there's somewhere to sleep that night. Before we leave, your crew chief walks you through the itemized Bill of Lading, and payment is due at completion.

Customized to your move, free, and no obligation.

Louisville Moving Company Pricing and Estimates
Yes, and it's separate from the hourly labor rate. It's a flat fee, set by where you're moving and confirmed with your estimate. Multi-stop moves and anywhere outside these areas are still estimated a separate flat truck fee.
Yes. There's a two-hour minimum on all labor.
The clock starts when the crew arrives. Not when they leave our yard, and not when the truck is loaded.
No. In-home and on-site estimates are free, and we recommend them for any home over 3,000 square feet.
You're charged for the time the crew actually needs. When a move runs over, it's usually for one of two reasons: the house wasn't packed and ready when the crew arrived, or there was more in it than we were told. For scale, one 26-foot truck fits up to about 1,600 square feet of normally furnished living space - densely furnished homes, or undisclosed attics, barns, and basements, are what push a move past its estimate.
Yes. Send us the competing estimate and our operations team will review it for a price match.
