Moving in St. Clair Shores
St. Clair Shores is a waterfront community on Lake St. Clair with a dense mix of postwar bungalows, brick ranches, and canal front homes along the eastern edge of the city. The housing stock here is older than most Macomb County communities, which means narrower doorways, tighter staircases, and less driveway space for a moving truck. We have moved plenty of furniture through tight SCS homes and know how to navigate the obstacles without damaging walls or door frames.
Canal front and lakefront homes in St. Clair Shores often have dock access, detached garages, and multiple outbuildings that add items and carry distance to a move. If your home has a dock house, boat storage, or a large detached garage, mention it when you call so we can give you an accurate time estimate.
Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks is ideal. We do take last minute jobs when we have availability. Call us and we’ll tell you what we have open.
My St. Clair Shores home has narrow doorways and tight hallways. Can you handle that?
Yes. Older SCS homes are some of the trickiest we move in. We disassemble furniture when needed and take doors off hinges if necessary to get large pieces through tight openings. No extra charge for standard disassembly.
We have a canal front home with a dock house and extra storage. How do you estimate that?
Call us and walk us through everything that needs to move including the outbuildings. Extra structures add carry distance and time. We factor all of it into your estimate before we start.
Do you move pianos?
Yes. Send us photos of the entrances at both locations before booking so we can confirm access.
What payment do you accept?
Cash or credit/debit card (Visa, MC, Discover, Amex). Payment is due at the end of the job. We do not accept checks.
