Full households we move every week
Most of what we do is whole homes across West Michigan, and the housing here is anything but uniform. An 1890s Heritage Hill Victorian with three floors and a turn-tight staircase is nothing like a 1960s ranch in East Grand Rapids near Reeds Lake, and neither is like a township property past Ada with a long gravel two-track.
My crews scope access before the truck rolls — stair counts, doorway widths, walkout basements, or a rural drive that needs plywood tracks. Cole Nyenhuis has led our East Grand Rapids and lakeshore-corridor jobs for years, and he walks the approach with you first.
West Michigan home flat-rate examples
| Home size | Crew | Typical flat rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed condo or apartment | 2 movers | $520 – $780 |
| 2-bed West Side or Wyoming flat | 2–3 movers | $780 – $1,180 |

Hourly basis is $149/hr for two movers and $199/hr for three, but the number you sign is flat. Cargo rides up to $1,000,000 per shipment with $0.60/lb released-value standard and a 9-month claim window, under our Michigan authority.
The housing quirks we plan for
Heritage Hill’s original doorways are narrow — we measure furniture before load day, not on it. Township drives out toward Rockford and Hudsonville run on gravel; we tarp the path and shuttle a smaller truck if the 26-footer won’t make it. Need boxing too? See full-service packing. Selling first, buying second? Storage covers the gap.
What your Grand Rapids, MI flat rate already covers
- Pre-move walkthrough of stairs, doorways, and gravel or two-track access
- Floor runners and corner guards through both homes
- Beds, sectionals, dining tables, and entertainment units taken apart and rebuilt
- Wardrobe boxes for hanging closets — nothing gets refolded twice
- Appliance dollies and stair climbers for fridges, safes, and basement gear
- Placement at the new home where you want it, up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment
What should this cost?
Two uniformed movers and the truck on the clock at $149/hr, or switch the meter off with a signed West Michigan flat figure that lands the whole move on one page
Every rate already includes blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap, and the hand-carry work Heritage Hill’s brick staircases call for, plus any Certificate of Insurance a Medical Mile tower or an Eastown condo board wants on file. Add a third mover and the crew rate becomes $199/hr.
