Our Moving Services in Middletown, KY
Middletown covers more ground than its size suggests: pre-war houses near Main Street, subdivision homes in Lake Forest and Douglass Hills, and apartments along the Shelbyville Road corridor. We handle all three, and being local means we aren't learning your street on the clock.
Our yard is at 400 Tucker Station Road, in the 40243 - the same ZIP as most of Middletown. On an hourly move, that proximity shows up on your invoice.
Hourly crews across Louisville and all of Kentucky/Southern Indiana, with no weekend surcharge.
Why Middletown Residents Choose
Horsepower Moving and Storage
Middletown has no shortage of movers to pick from. Here's what separates us on streets we work every week.
Older Homes Are Our Normal
Pre-war and mid-century houses near Main Street have narrow stairwells and landings never designed around a sectional sofa. Tight access is routine for us, including banister removal where a piece genuinely won't clear. Furniture gets disassembled rather than forced - and reassembled at the other end at no additional fee.
We Know the Access Before We Arrive
The apartment and townhome communities along Shelbyville Road and Old Henry Road each have their own rules - reserved loading zones, elevator windows, gate codes, and management offices that need notice. We sort that out ahead of the date rather than idling in a fire lane while someone finds a key.
What You Pay, Before We Start
Hourly labor with a two-hour minimum, plus a flat truck fee, set by where you're moving and confirmed with your estimate. Your $100 deposit comes off the final bill, and the clock starts when the crew arrives - not when they leave the yard.
Family-Owned, Licensed, and Checked
We're family-owned, licensed and insured, and registered with the FMCSA as USDOT 4474565. Every mover on our crews is background-checked on an ongoing basis, not once at hiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our services, moving process, and how Horsepower Moving and Storage handles each move.
We're based minutes from Middletown, so the travel time billed to you is minimal compared with crews dispatched from across the metro. On an hourly move, that difference lands directly on your total.
Usually it needs disassembly rather than force. Narrow stairwells and tight landings are routine for us, and we'll remove a banister where a piece won't clear. Tell us the item and the staircase at your estimate, and we'll give you a straight answer.
Yes, and it's a regular job for us. Tell us the building at your estimate - if there's an elevator to reserve, a loading zone to book, or a management office that needs notice, we handle that before the date rather than on it.
Two hours of labor, plus the flat truck fee, set by where you're moving and confirmed with your estimate.
Yes, at no additional fee. Beds, tables, and anything else we take apart goes back together at the destination. Mattresses come off frames and into mattress bags, and flat-screen TVs get wrapped.
Either a morning window of 8-9 am or an afternoon window of 12-4 pm. We usually can't narrow them down, since it's hard to predict how long morning jobs will run, but we'll consider each request on a case-by-case basis.
We move them, but we don't connect or disconnect them - please have that done before we arrive, since faulty water lines cause floods. Same with televisions: take them off their wall mounts beforehand if you can, as we don't re-mount them.
Yes. Note that multi-stop moves are estimated separately, so the flat truck fee doesn't apply.

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.

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!

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.
