What We Do
Full household moves, single item moves, apartment and condo relocations, labor-only jobs where you supply the truck, in-home furniture moves, packing, pianos, appliances, and loading or unloading rental trucks, PODs, and storage units.
Washington Township moves tend to run larger than a typical Metro Detroit job. Call and walk us through the full scope, main house, basement, garage, and any outbuildings, so we can size the crew and trucks correctly before move day.

Moving In and Out of Washington Township
Washington Township sits at the northern edge of Macomb County, and the moves here are consistently different from what we handle closer to Detroit. The housing stock is mostly newer construction, colonials, ranch walkouts, and two-story homes built throughout the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s on large lots along Romeo Plank Road, 28 Mile, and the subdivisions spreading east and west of Van Dyke toward the Stoney Creek Metropark area. These homes are bigger, and the moves are proportionally larger.
A few things that come up regularly on Washington Township jobs:
Three-car garages are nearly standard on homes in this area, and what’s inside them is often underestimated when people plan the move. Garage contents — lawn equipment, tool chests, storage shelving, seasonal items, can add an hour or more to a move that looks straightforward on paper. When you call, count the garage as a separate room and walk us through it.
Finished walkout basements are common in the subdivisions along the Stoney Creek corridor. A walkout is easier than a standard basement because we can stage directly out the lower level door, but finished basement rooms often contain home theater setups, gym equipment, and heavy built-in furniture that adds significant time. Let us know what’s down there before we quote.
Many of the larger colonial homes in Washington Township have long driveways and are set well back from the road. That carry distance from the front door to the truck adds up across dozens of trips. On a full home move, we factor driveway length into our time estimate, it matters.
Washington Township also has equestrian properties and hobby farms with outbuildings, detached garages, and pole barns beyond the main house. If your property has additional structures, tell us upfront. We need the full scope to give you an accurate number.
Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks gives you the most options on date and crew size. We do take short-notice calls when we have availability, call and ask. Full-day jobs on large homes book out faster, especially May through August.
Our home is over 4,000 square feet with a finished walkout basement and a three-car garage. How do you approach that?
That’s a full-day job and almost always a 4-man crew with either one or two trucks depending on volume. Call us and walk through it room by room — main floor, upstairs, basement, and garage separately. We’ll give you a realistic crew size and time range, not a lowball number we walk back on move day.
We have a pole barn and a detached garage in addition to the main house. Can you handle everything in one move?
Yes. Additional structures add real volume and carry distance, and they often contain heavy items, equipment, shelving, stored furniture, that take longer than people expect. Walk us through all of it when you call so we can plan the right number of trucks and crew for the full job.
Do you move pianos?
Yes. Before booking, send photos of the entrances at both locations, steps, tight hallways, narrow doorways, so we can confirm access and give you an accurate estimate.
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.
