New Albany Movers for Homes and Apartments
New Albany has some of the most demanding housing stock we work in. Mansion Row and the downtown historic district are full of large nineteenth-century homes with grand staircases that are narrower at the turn than they look, original floors that need protecting, and street frontage with limited room for a truck. Up in Silver Hills the roads climb, and access is the first thing we check rather than the last.
Then there's everything else - post-war neighborhoods off Grant Line Road, apartment communities near Indiana University Southeast, and newer subdivisions on the outskirts. Different jobs, same crews.
New Albany carries a flat truck fee, set by where you're moving and confirmed with your estimate. Our crew dispatches from our headquarters as movers in Louisville and reaches New Albany in minutes via the toll-free Sherman Minton Bridge on I-64.
Houses, condos, and townhomes, with furniture disassembly and reassembly included at no extra charge.
Upright pianos, safes, treadmills, and massage chairs, handled by crews equipped for them.
Interstate moves to and from all 48 contiguous states, planned around your closing dates.
Apartment communities near Indiana University Southeast and across the city, with loading zones and building paperwork arranged before move day.
Moving New Albany's Historic and Hillside Homes
Older, larger homes are where technique matters more than muscle. Here's how we approach them.
Historic Houses Are Routine, Not an Exception
Nineteenth-century staircases, plaster walls, original hardwood, doorframes with no clearance to spare. Here is how we work through them:
- Furniture gets wrapped before it leaves the room, not at the truck
- Anything that won't clear a turn comes apart rather than getting forced
- Banisters and doors are removed where they're the obstacle, and put back once the piece is through
- Original hardwood and plaster walls are treated as things to protect, not things in the way
Large Homes Often Mean Two Trucks
A Mansion Row house is frequently more than one truck can handle. Here is how we plan for it:
- One 26-foot truck holds roughly 1,600 square feet of normally furnished living space
- Homes that exceed that get a second truck, with packing scheduled the day before rather than compressing everything into one morning
- Whether you need one truck or two is best determined at your free on-site estimate - we recommend one for any home over 3,000 square feet
Coverage That Matches What's in the House
We offer replacement-value protection options on every move, explained in writing before you book. For higher-value contents, we prepare a custom protection plan through our white-glove service based on the item's value, so the choice is yours to make knowingly.
Licensed, Insured, and Checked
We're a family-owned company registered with the FMCSA under USDOT 4474565, licensed and insured, and every mover on our crews is background-checked on an ongoing basis.

Moving Across the River to New Albany
New Albany is the Floyd County seat, a city of about 37,800 residents just across the Ohio River from Louisville. Around 1850 it was the largest city in Indiana, and its Mansion Row Historic District runs along Main Street from State Street to 15th Street.
Kentucky to Indiana Is an Interstate Move
A move between Louisville and New Albany crosses a state line, so the moving company needs federal authority from the FMCSA. We’re registered under USDOT 4474565. The move is still priced like a local move, with hourly labor, a two-hour minimum and a flat truck fee for Southern Indiana confirmed with your estimate. Our usual route is the toll-free Sherman Minton Bridge on I-64.
Apartments, Houses and Furniture
For apartment moves, tell us the community at your estimate, and we arrange the loading zone and any Certificate of Insurance before move day. For houses, our furniture movers take beds, tables and shelving apart and reassemble everything at no extra charge, with beds back together the same day.
Moving to or From New Albany: Your Questions
What New Albany homeowners ask, from Mansion Row staircases to Silver Hills drives.
Yes. Tell us the building at your estimate, and we arrange the loading zone, elevator time and any Certificate of Insurance before move day.
The Sherman Minton Bridge on I-64 is toll-free, which is our usual route into New Albany.
Yes, and it's regular work for us. Expect an on-site estimate first - homes that size are often a two-truck job, and we'd rather establish that in advance than halfway through the day.
Usually with partial disassembly. Narrow turns, tight landings, and doorframes without clearance are routine, and we remove banisters where that's what it takes. Tell us the piece and the staircase at your estimate and we'll tell you honestly whether it will go.
Usually, yes. Every truck we run is 26 feet long with a liftgate or ramp, and some steep drives don't suit it. We check the approach at your free on-site estimate and plan around what's there.
We offer replacement-value protection options on every move, explained in writing before you book. For high-value pieces we prepare a custom protection plan based on the item's value.
Upright pianos, yes, as part of a household move, for a special-item fee confirmed with your estimate. Grand and baby grand pianos we don't take, for liability reasons - for those we'll point you to Gist Piano Center. We also don't move grandfather clocks, sheds, or saunas.
At least 48 hours, and two weeks is better. We can sometimes take a short-notice move, and we keep a cancellation list if you need an earlier date than we can offer.

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.
