Residential & House Movers in St. Louis | First Place Moves

Most St. Louis families ring us when a full home is on the line, not one room. The kids may have outgrown a Tower Grove two-family and a Kirkwood place with a real backyard just closed. An O’Fallon couple may be trading down from four bedrooms now that the nest is empty, weighing each closet against whether it deserves space on the truck. Whatever sets it off, the load grows by the room: a basement untouched since the last move, a garage packed to the rafters, a patio set, kitchen cabinets that swallowed a decade of clutter. Gina works every home through one proven system rather than just piling extra bodies onto a stack that keeps climbing.

Our crew owns the entire home end to end, awkward corners and all. Bulky pieces get padded and carried by hand: the king bed, a tall dresser, the family-room sectional, the washer next to its dryer. Whatever rides on bolts is taken down on site and put back together at the new house. We strip the garage, the basement, and the back patio, shroud the dining table along with framed mirrors, then load the garage gear aboard first so it comes off the truck last, handy the night you want the mower and tools out of your path. The figure follows how large the place is: a two-bedroom lands at $980 to $1,660, a three-bedroom at $1,660 to $2,780, a four-bedroom at $2,780 to $4,380, each one priced in advance with the access factored into the total. Rather book a larger team billed by the clock? Budget $155/hr with three movers and $205/hr with four.

Whole-home jobs that fill our St. Louis season

• Full single-family houses throughout Webster Groves, Ladue, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Florissant, and University City
• Condo-to-house jumps leaving Clayton and the Central West End for west-county and St. Charles County subdivisions
• Paring a house down to fit a downtown loft or a Clayton condo, with what truly belongs decided before any box gets carried out
• Whole-home hauls that clear out garages, basements, and patios, with appliances unhooked then reconnected

Each St. Louis house deals its own puzzle. A South City brick two-family in Shaw or Bevo Mill often hides a rear stairway too tight to pass a king mattress, so that lone piece leaves by the front door, sleeved to ride clean along the longer path. A Soulard or Lafayette Square walk-up brings steep entry steps and no driveway, so we nail down curb parking ahead of the day. A Ladue home with a pinched driveway and a vintage staircase turns one run into two. We survey both addresses beforehand, park the rig for the shortest legal carry, cushion frames and banisters, and bring exactly the headcount the home warrants, four-plus once a flight of stairs sits at either end. In winter we salt and clear the front walk first, because nobody should wrestle a dresser across iced-over steps.
