What we do, end to end

Whether you’re hopping from Eastown to the West Side or hauling a four-bedroom down I-96, we cover the eight specialties below with the same W-2 crew and the same flat-rate-in-writing rule. Pick the one that fits and you’ll land on a page that walks the pricing, what’s included, and what we run into around Grand Rapids specifically.

The eight services

  • Local moves — two- or three-mover hourly across Grand Rapids. $149/hr or $199/hr, blankets and dollies included.
  • Long-distance moves — interstate flat rate out US-131 and I-96 to Chicago, Detroit, and beyond. Same crew, both ends.
  • Residential moves — Heritage Hill brick homes, suburban ranches, and rural acreage on township gravel drives.
  • Apartment moves — downtown lofts, Midtown walk-ups, and complexes that need a certificate of insurance.
  • Full-pack service — we bring the boxes, paper, wardrobe cartons, and the labor. Popular with busy families and long-distance movers.
  • Piano and specialty — uprights, baby grands, safes, and shop tools through tight doorways. Wyatt’s specialty.
  • Short-term storage — secured, by-the-week storage at our Fifth Street NW yard for closing-date gaps.
  • Commercial and office moves — downtown storefronts, Medical Mile offices, and West Side warehouse sites.

How pricing actually works

Local jobs are hourly with no padding past the first hour. Long-distance is a flat rate locked in writing ahead of time, signed before we load. Specialty add-ons — pianos, safes, shuttle runs — show up as line items on the same written estimate so nothing surprises you on moving day.

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.
