Moving is a lot — packing, planning, the cat. So we keep our part simple. Whether you're heading from a downtown one-bedroom to a place in the Rattlesnake, or pulling up to Missoula with a truck behind you and a new chapter ahead, our crew shows up on time and treats your stuff like it's ours. We handle the lifting, the wrapping, the loading, and the careful Tetris in the truck — start to finish, no handoffs. **What's included:** furniture pads and shrink wrap, disassembly and reassembly of beds and large items, floor and doorway protection, and one person you can call from first quote to final invoice. One written number after a quick walk-through, not a guess that climbs on move day. Give us a ring at (406) 241-9799 or send the quote form — we'll call you back with a real number. ## Commercial Moves Office, retail, and small-business relocations — across town, or opening up a new spot in Missoula. Offices, retail spaces, conference rooms, server racks — we move businesses on nights and weekends so Monday morning feels like any other Monday. New location across town, a second storefront, or your first Missoula office (welcome to town, by the way) — the work is the same: labeled, packed, transported, and put back together before your team walks in with coffee. **What's included:** pre-move walkthrough, labeling and inventory, after-hours scheduling, IT-equipment handling, and reassembly so your folks can sit down and get to work. ## Piano & Specialty Moves Pianos, antiques, art, and other items that need more than a furniture dolly. Uprights, baby grands, concert grands — we've moved them all, including up and down narrow Montana staircases. Specialty equipment, proper padding, trained crews, and the patience to do it right. **What's included:** specialty piano dollies, in-home placement and leveling, and full insurance coverage. ## Heavy Items Gun safes, hot tubs, pool tables, treadmills, and anything else that bends backs. Some items just need the right gear and the right crew. We handle gun safes, hot tubs, pool tables, large appliances, and the kind of one-off heavy moves that hourly movers shy away from. **What's included:** rigging equipment, stair-climbing dollies, floor protection, crew sized to the job, and full insurance on the item being moved. ## Long-Distance Moves Interstate and intrastate moves with one crew from pickup to delivery — no swaps, no lost boxes. Our crew loads your truck and unloads it on the other end — whether you're heading out of state or pulling into Missoula from somewhere new. No transfers, no warehouse stops, no "lost in transit" surprises. Licensed and insured for interstate moves with USDOT and MC authority. **What's included:** binding written estimate, dedicated crew from pickup to delivery, real-time updates, and tracking for the full route. ## Senior Moves Downsizing, transitions, and shifts to 55+ or assisted living — at a patient pace, with whoever's helping coordinate. Moving later in life is rarely just a move. It might be a downsize after thirty years in the same house, a shift to assisted living, or helping a parent settle into something smaller and closer. We slow our pace, take the time it needs, and treat the family photos with the same care as the furniture. No rushing, no pressure — and a crew who'll talk things through with whoever's at the table. **What's included:** a patient, unrushed pace, careful packing of fragile and sentimental items, coordination with 55+ communities and assisted living facilities, donation drop-off on request, and one person you can call from first quote to final invoice. ## Pricing model No dollar rates are published — every move gets a free written estimate, and the quote is the bill. - **Local moves:** flat hourly rate covering crew and truck time, drive time and fuel included, written up front. - **Long-distance moves:** quoted by route with a full itemized invoice; half down locks the date. - **Included at no extra charge:** wrap, pads, and blankets; disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables, and large furniture; the walk-through estimate (always free, never an obligation). - **Available on request, written into the quote:** packing service, boxes, and tape. - **Never added later:** stair fees, fuel surcharges, weekend surcharges, long-carry fees, truck or equipment fees, administrative fees.
