Moving In and Out of Sterling Heights
Most of Sterling Heights was built out between the 1960s and 1990s, which means the dominant housing type is the ranch, bi-level, and split-level — solid homes, but ones that have had 30 to 50 years to accumulate contents in attached garages, finished basements, and back bedrooms. The homes south of 15 Mile along Schoenherr and Mound tend to be the older and smaller ranches — manageable square footage, but basements and garages that consistently hold more than homeowners estimate. North of 17 Mile and into the 19 Mile corridor the homes get newer and larger, with bigger footprints and more furniture to move.
Bi-levels and split-levels deserve specific mention. The half-staircase design — entry level with stairs going both up and down — means there’s no flat carry path in or out of the home. Everything on the upper level comes down half a flight; everything in the lower level comes up half a flight. It adds time on any job, and it’s one of the reasons a Sterling Heights bi-level that looks like a straightforward three-bedroom move can run an extra hour compared to a ranch of similar size.
The apartment corridors along Van Dyke and Dequindre, particularly between 14 Mile and 17 Mile, are a regular part of our work. These are mostly 1970s and 1980s complexes — two and three story buildings, exterior stairwells, no elevators. Third-floor units in these buildings add 30 to 45 minutes to a move compared to ground floor. If your building has parking lot restrictions or designated move-in areas, let us know when you book.
Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks gives you the best options on date and crew size. We take short-notice calls when we have availability — call and ask.
My Sterling Heights home is a bi-level. Does that affect the time estimate?
Yes. Bi-levels have no flat carry path — everything moves on stairs in both directions. For a typical three-bedroom bi-level we’d add roughly an hour compared to a single-story ranch of similar size. Give us the layout when you call and we’ll factor it in.
My finished basement has a lot in it. How do I factor that into the estimate?
Count it as a separate floor when you’re estimating your move. A full finished basement — furniture, storage, exercise equipment — can add two to three hours to a job. Walk us through what’s down there when you call and we’ll give you an honest time range.
My apartment building on Van Dyke doesn’t have an elevator. Does stair access affect the price?
It affects the time, which affects the total cost on an hourly job. Third-floor walk-up units typically add 30 to 45 minutes compared to ground floor. Tell us your floor and whether there are any parking or access restrictions at your building.
Do you move pianos?
Yes. Before booking, send photos of the entrances at both locations so we can confirm access and quote accurately.
What forms of payment do you take?
Cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or Amex. Payment is collected at the end of the job. We don’t accept checks.
