St. Louis County is the home turf for First Place Moves, and most of it sits a short hop from our yard off Papin Street near The Hill. A crew can leave the gate, jump on I-64 or I-270, and be carrying boxes out of a Webster Groves bungalow before nine. Gina Marchetti grew up on The Hill, ran a packing crew for an old St. Louis van line, then spent over a decade handling dispatch and field teams for a big county mover before she started this outfit in 2011. She knows the county block by block, which is why the price you get is flat, written, and locked before your date is. The same W-2 crew that wraps and loads your place is the crew that sets the last box down at the other end. Nobody hands the job off, and because Gina walks the route ahead of time, a narrow Ladue driveway, an old Kirkwood staircase, or a Clayton high-rise freight window almost never throws the day off schedule.
Every kind of move runs through this county. Clayton, the seat, is high-rises and condos with reserved elevators and certificate-of-insurance paperwork. Florissant and the north county hand us solid mid-century ranches and family two-stories. Chesterfield and Ballwin out west are big subdivisions with two-car garages and HOA move-in rules. Kirkwood and Webster Groves keep us in leafy older neighborhoods with steep front steps and tight period staircases, while University City and Maplewood add student rentals and brick four-families near the Delmar Loop. By the hour, two movers run $115, three run $155, and four run $205. As a flat figure, a one-bedroom lands between $590 and $980 and a three-bedroom between $1,660 and $2,780, with packing or a piano carry folded into that number when the job calls for it — uprights run $290 to $450, baby grands $520 to $800. Interstate runs ride on US DOT and MC authority we hold ourselves, with $1M of cargo coverage on every load, and if a closing slips, climate-controlled storage sits around $85 to $230 a month by unit size. Winter ice on the front walk, summer heat in the 90s, and the spring storm season all go into the plan.
