Cross the Missouri River on I-70 and St. Charles County opens up, an easy run from our yard near The Hill. This is the fastest-growing corner of the metro, and it keeps our calendar full: a Wentzville household chasing a closing date one day, a historic Main Street walk-up in St. Charles the next, an O’Fallon two-story the day after that. Gina Marchetti started First Place Moves in 2011 after years running crews and dispatch for a big county mover, and her W-2 teams size up a brand-new Wentzville build against a century-old St. Charles brick home without missing a beat. The rate is flat and on paper before your date is reserved, and once you sign, the day belongs to you. One crew loads the old place and empties the truck at the new one, with nobody swapped in partway and the route walked ahead of time so a tight subdivision turn or an HOA elevator window never catches anyone off guard.
The county splits between old and new. St. Charles, the seat, mixes historic Frenchtown and Main Street homes with steep stairs and brick steps against newer riverfront neighborhoods. O’Fallon runs master-planned subdivisions, family two-stories, and condos bound by HOA move-in policies. Wentzville out at the western edge is fresh construction, big garages, and first homes off I-64 and I-70. Two movers bill $115 an hour, three run $155, and four run $205. Quoted flat, a two-bedroom falls between $980 and $1,660 and a four-bedroom house between $2,780 and $4,380, with packing tucked into that figure. Long-distance work crosses state lines on US DOT and MC authority we carry ourselves, $1M of cargo coverage riding along, and a slipped closing or a lease gap can park your belongings in climate-controlled storage at $85 to $230 a month by unit size. HOA windows, gated codes, and the haul back over the river all go into the plan, and a cold icy winter morning or a humid summer afternoon never changes the price we quoted.
