Services We Offer in Edwardsville
Local Moving
Most Edwardsville moves are local, from a Leclaire bungalow to an apartment near SIUE to a house in Glen Carbon. Local moves are billed hourly, based on the size of your home, the number of movers and trucks it needs, and how much packing or specialty handling is involved. See our local moving service page for what every local move includes. Before moving day we ask about stairs, driveway access, and where the truck can stop, then plan the load around your answers.
Apartment and Student Moves
Apartment buildings often require an elevator reservation, so we ask for your building rules before we quote. We recommend booking apartment moving two to four weeks ahead, and earlier when your move lands in late August.
Packing and Unpacking
Our packing services cover full packing and unpacking with materials, and we help you set up the new space so it is livable on day one. Homes built over a century ago often have steep stairs and narrow doorways, so we ask about both before we plan the carry.
Long-Distance Moves From Edwardsville
Every long-distance move is quoted by weight and mileage. We walk through your inventory and destination first, and you get a confirmed delivery window before the truck loads. Most interstate moves take a few days to about a week from pickup to delivery.
Storage Between Homes
When your closing date and move-in date do not match, storage solutions hold your belongings between homes. We offer short-term storage for tight timelines and long-term storage for downsizing or staging a sale, and we coordinate it with your pickup and delivery dates.
Moving Labor
If you already have a rental truck or container, our moving labor service loads and unloads it on transparent hourly pricing. We size the job to fit, whether that is two movers for a small apartment or more for a full house.
How Much Do Movers in Edwardsville Cost?
We bill local Edwardsville moves by the hour, and the rate depends on how many movers and trucks your home needs. Long-distance moves are priced by shipment weight and mileage, and moving labor runs on an hourly rate.
Home size, stairs, the distance between addresses, and how much packing you want all move the number. Pianos, safes, and other oversized items add specialty handling. Tell us about each one when you call and we build it into the estimate.
The estimate you get before the move is the number you pay at the end. If something shifts on moving day, you hear about it immediately and we fix it.
What Movers in Edwardsville Run Into
Leclaire and Older Homes Near Downtown
Leclaire is a National Register historic district just south of downtown, with about 415 single-family homes. Most are one and two stories built between 1890 and 1915, in Queen Anne, Craftsman, and bungalow styles. Send us a photo of the stairs and the front entry, and we plan the carry route and where the truck stops before moving day.
SIUE Move-In Week
SIUE moves first-year students into the residence halls over two days in late August, and returning students follow that weekend. Student moves and rental trucks compete for the same roads and parking. If your move is near campus in late August, book weeks ahead or pick a date outside that window.
Highways and Parking
IL 157, IL 159, and IL 143 (Veterans Memorial Drive) carry most local moves, and I-55 and I-270 lead toward St. Louis. We plan St. Louis runs around rush hour. Call Edwardsville City Hall before moving day to ask about truck parking or right-of-way use, especially for a downtown address.
