The yard

Our trucks and storage sit at 560 Fifth St NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504, on the near West Side a few minutes from downtown and the Medical Mile. Stop by to walk the rolling stock and meet a crew chief before a big job — plenty of Cascade and Ada families do exactly that.

Fastest path to a quote

If you know your dates and inventory, the written quote request is the quickest way in. Fill it out tonight, Hanna reads it first thing, and you’ll have a flat rate in your inbox by lunch. What we quote is what you pay at the curb.

A note from Derek

I launched West Michigan Moving Company in 2015 on one rule that hasn’t changed: the number we put in writing is the number you pay — nothing sprung on you at the curb. Every move runs on our own trucks with a crew I hired and trained myself.

Whether it’s a one-bedroom near downtown Grand Rapids or a full house heading clear across West Michigan, you get the same steady crew and the same written flat rate. That kind of consistency is what keeps West Michigan families passing our name to their neighbors.

Questions? Answered.

The questions Grand Rapids homeowners ask us most.

Are you an actual mover, or a broker?

Yes — West Michigan Moving Company is a fully licensed and insured Grand Rapids, MI moving company. We run our own trucks and a uniformed crew on every job, backed by Michigan household-goods mover authority plus US DOT and MC authority.

What does a local Grand Rapids move run?

A local Grand Rapids-area move runs $149/hour for two movers and a truck, or $199/hour for three — blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap and basic COI prep are included. We lock a flat, written price before we load, so nothing changes at the curb.

How far ahead should I lock a date?

Booking two or three weeks ahead usually lands you the date you want for a local move. Summer weekends and month-end closings fill first, and lake-effect snow can tighten winter dates — send your details and we’ll hold your spot.

What kinds of moves do you take on?

Everything from Heritage Hill Victorians and downtown Grand Rapids lofts to ranch homes out in the townships — apartments, whole-home, senior downsizing, office, piano and specialty, plus long-distance runs on US-131 and I-96.
