A Residential Moving Company for Every Type of Home
Our house movers handle houses, condos, and townhomes, and a house move isn’t one job, it’s about forty of them. Taking apart a bed frame that’s been together for twelve years. Getting a sectional back out through a doorway it came in through in one piece. Emptying an attic in August and deciding what happens to everything in the garage.
That’s the work we do. We’re a family-owned Louisville moving company, licensed and insured, registered with the FMCSA under USDOT 4474565, and every mover on our crews is background-checked on an ongoing basis. We move houses, condos, and townhomes across Louisville and all of Kentucky/Southern Indiana. We also move families and businesses in Prospect, Middletown, Anchorage, Crestwood, La Grange and St. Matthews in Kentucky, and in New Albany, Clarksville and Jeffersonville across the river in Southern Indiana. Whether you’re relocating across Louisville with our local moving services or moving a full household to another state, the attic, basement, and garage are included.
What's Included on Every Residential Move
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly at no extra charge
- Beds reassembled the same day
- Mattresses bagged and box springs protected
- Flat-screen TVs wrapped
- Banister removal where furniture won’t clear a turn
- No cap on box count or total weight
- Free on-site estimates for any size home
Every item on this list is part of the job, not a billable add-on.
How Residential Moving Is Priced
Residential moves are priced by the hour, with one flat truck fee. Here is exactly what you pay for.
- Labor: billed hourly, with a two-hour minimum. The clock starts when the movers arrive at your door.
- Truck fee: one flat fee, set by where you’re moving and confirmed with your estimate.
- Deposit: $100 holds your date and comes off your final bill.
- Weekends and holidays: the same rate as weekdays.
- Special items: upright pianos, safes between 300 and 500 pounds, treadmills and large massage chairs carry a special-item fee, confirmed with your estimate.
- Not included in the estimate: Kentucky’s 6% sales tax, and a 3% service charge on card payments that cash and check avoid.
Two things decide the total more than anything else: how ready the house is when the movers arrive, and whether the estimate covered every room. One 26-foot truck holds roughly 1,600 square feet of normally furnished living space. Homes larger than that, or homes with full basements, often need a second truck. When a move needs two or more trucks, we pack the day before.
Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly, Included
Most movers treat furniture disassembly as a billable add-on. We don’t charge for it.
The crew walks the house before anything moves. They identify what comes apart, what gets wrapped in place, and what needs a specific route out of the room. A sectional that came in through a patio door ten years ago may not fit back through the hallway – that gets worked out before the tools come out, not halfway down the stairs.
Disassembly is done with the right hardware drivers for each piece, not an adjustable wrench and good intentions. Every bolt, cam lock, and shelf pin goes into a labeled bag that stays with the piece. At the destination, reassembly happens in the room you want it in – beds the same day, so nobody sleeps on a floor.
Where a piece won’t clear a turn, the obstacle gets addressed rather than the furniture getting forced. That usually means removing a banister or a door, and putting it back once the piece is through. Our crews do this regularly enough that it adds minutes to the job, not hours.
Rooms Your House Moving Estimate Should Cover
Almost every residential estimate that goes wrong goes wrong the same way: the walkthrough covered the living areas and bedrooms, and nobody mentioned the attic.
These are the spaces that most estimates miss – make sure yours includes them:
- Attics and crawl spaces
- Finished and unfinished basements
- Garages and carports
- Outbuildings (sheds, workshops)
- Outdoor items – patio furniture, grills, yard equipment
If it is going on the truck, it needs to be in the estimate. This is the single most common reason a move runs longer than expected.
For scale: one 26-foot truck holds roughly 1,600 square feet of normally furnished living space. Interior dimensions are 7 feet 9 inches wide and 6 feet 10 inches high, with a liftgate or ramp. There’s no cap on box count or total weight – it only has to fit. A densely furnished home, or one with a full basement nobody walked through, is what turns a one-truck move into a two-truck move.
Move-In Day and Reassembly at Your New Home
Getting your belongings to the new house is the easy half. We place furniture where you want it rather than leaving it in the middle of a room, set boxes down in the room they belong to, and reassemble everything we took apart – at no additional charge, and with beds done the same day.
Before the crew leaves, your crew chief walks you through the itemized Bill of Lading, which is your receipt for the job. Payment is due at completion by cash, check, or tap-to-pay card, with a 3% service charge on card payments that cash and check avoid.
Booking a Residential Mover
We ask for at least 48 hours’ notice and recommend booking two weeks ahead. Book earlier for a move between late May and August, when demand peaks.
- Get a free estimate. On-site walkthroughs are free, and we recommend them for any home over 3,000 square feet.
- Get your written price. It arrives before you commit to a date.
- Hold your date. The $100 deposit is non-refundable, and a cancellation fee applies within 72 hours of your move, so submit it once your date is certain.
- Move day. Movers arrive in a morning window of 8 to 9 a.m. or an afternoon window of 12 to 4 p.m., and call with an ETA before they set off.
