Movers in Jefferson County, MO | First Place Moves

A licensed, insured St. Louis crew working Jefferson County and the whole metro — hourly or one flat written number, and movers who roll up on time, every job treated like it is going for first place.

Head south down I-55 and Highway 21 and Jefferson County rolls out below the city, a dependable run from our yard near The Hill. Plenty of these moves are families trading a tighter city neighborhood for more room and a bigger yard, and the work holds steady all year: an Arnold ranch on Monday, a Festus family home midweek, an Imperial place near the river the day after. Gina Marchetti built First Place Moves in 2011 into a real licensed operation, trucks and W-2 crews both kept in-house, and that pays off down here where so many jobs shuttle households over the line between the county and the city. The rate goes flat and gets fixed before a date is reserved, the same crew that boxes your departure sets up your arrival, and an early walk-through of the entry and parking keeps the day moving even on a rural gravel lane.

The county leans residential and family-sized. Arnold up near the county line off I-55 sends solid ranches, split-levels, and condos. Festus and neighboring Crystal City hand over older single-family homes downtown and newer subdivisions on the edges. Imperial along the river adds family two-stories and downsizings, with Hillsboro, the seat, anchoring the courthouse town in the middle. By the hour, a pair of movers is $115, three is $155, and four is $205. As a flat figure, the $1,660 to $2,780 band covers a three-bedroom house and $2,780 to $4,380 spans a four-bedroom, with boxing or a piano carry folded in wherever the job needs it. Cross-state work travels on US DOT and MC authority we hold directly, $1M of cargo coverage along for the ride, and climate-controlled storage cradles your goods at $85 to $230 a month by size whenever a date or a season refuses to cooperate. Longer rural driveways, the haul back up to the city, and an icy winter walk all shape the plan, and the flat rate never moves with the weather.

Easing into an Arnold ranch, moving a household toward Festus, or settling near the river in Imperial? Request a free estimate. Our own trucks, our own crew, a number fixed up front, and a blue-ribbon job that lands on time and on budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far into Jefferson County does your service go?

All the way through it. Arnold, Festus, and Imperial sit a steady run south on I-55 and Highway 21 from our yard, and the routes reach Hillsboro, De Soto, and Crystal City too. Tell us any address in the county and the quote is built to that door.

Can you handle an Arnold ranch or a downsizing move with a long rural driveway?

Both come up here all the time. Some Jefferson County homes sit on longer gravel drives or split-level lots, so we walk the entry and parking before the day, keep one crew on the job from start to finish, and can stash a load in climate-controlled storage while move dates settle. Downsizing and senior moves stay steady too, each one priced flat before a date is set.

Are you a licensed moving company?

Yes. We hold a license from the Missouri Division of Motor Carrier Services for moves anywhere in the state, US DOT and MC authority for interstate hauls, and $1M of cargo coverage on every shipment. Every truck is in-house and every mover is on our payroll, so a Jefferson County job is handled start to finish by our own crew.
