Apartment & Condo Movers in St. Louis | First Place Moves

Two kinds of apartment jobs land on our schedule in St. Louis, and they ask for opposite skills. The first is the old-city walk-up with no elevator at all, where every box is earned on foot: a Soulard unit tucked above a corner tavern, a Lafayette Square rowhouse with a sharp dogleg on the upper landing, a Central West End flat sitting behind a steep brick stoop, a Cherokee Street storefront with living quarters up the back stair, or a Tower Grove two-flat reached only by an inside run. The second is the tower: a Clayton high-rise or a Washington Avenue loft in the warehouse district, where management assigns the move-in window, demands proof of coverage before any truck nears the dock, and steers every load to the freight car. Gina’s crew has carried households through both for years, the same deliberate way each time.

For a walk-up the lead begins with the stairs themselves. Days out, the crew measures your bulkiest furniture against each step, the landings, and the bend up top, flags whatever needs disassembly to clear a narrow turn, and sizes the team to how high the haul runs, adding a fourth hand once a third-floor flat holds a sofa beside a full-size fridge. Each item travels wrapped in a blanket and stretch film and gets walked up one flight at a time instead of dragged. Our people cushion the handrail, sleeve the door jambs, and cover the plaster so the property stays unmarked. A tower reverses that sequence: ahead of the date we square the Certificate of Insurance with management, hold the booked freight elevator plus the assigned window, and feed each load by the service entrance away from the main lobby.

Your number tracks the size of the unit, not the mood of the building staff that day. A studio lands at $360 to $590, a one-bedroom $590 to $980, two bedrooms $980 to $1,660, with the access settled before we load. Prefer hourly? That runs $115/hr for a pair and $155/hr for three, matched to the stairs you hand us. For a Clayton or downtown address we line up legal curb space at the entry in advance so the truck parks close and each trip stays short, and all of it sits inside one written rate so the move finishes on time and on budget.

Here is what an apartment or condo move puts on our plate

• Lift-free walk-ups above Soulard taverns and Cherokee Street storefronts, plus Central West End and Benton Park flats behind steep stoops
• Lafayette Square rowhouses and Dutchtown two-flats with an upper-landing dogleg that only an inside stairway reaches
• Clayton high-rise condos, Washington Avenue and warehouse-district lofts, and Delmar Loop student rentals near Wash U and SLU, under building and elevator rules
• The Certificate of Insurance, the booked freight elevator, plus the assigned move-in window all squared with management before the date
