Movers who know Rock Island

Rock Island runs from the downtown District and the tall Victorian homes of the Broadway historic district to the bluff streets above the river and the neighborhoods near Augustana College. Tight hundred-year-old staircases, steep climbs up the bluff, and the Augustana move-out rush are all everyday work here, so Alex checks the access first and quotes one flat price before anything is lifted.

  • Historic-home readyTall Broadway-district Victorians with narrow old stairs, padded and handled with care.
  • Bluff-street savvySteep bluff drives and tight riverfront parking planned ahead.
  • Labor-only tooJust need loading help near Augustana or downtown? Book the crew for the muscle only.

What the Quad Cities say

What Rock Island tells us

I was very pleased with the service I received, and they were not only prompt, they arrived early! I got a very quick response to my inquiry, and they were great with communication and scheduling the move. Alex and Dave were my movers and they were excellent: polite, very courteous, and very careful with my belongings that they moved. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for moving services!

AAlex M.Verified customer · Davenport, IA★★★★★
On time and they moved fast even while it was pouring down rain. They protected everything from the weather and still got it all out of the storage unit and into our new home quickly. I would call Alex's Moving and Labor first for any big move down the road.

Rock Island moving FAQs

Do you move within Rock Island?

Yes, in-town Rock Island moves are our bread and butter, whether it is a Broadway Victorian or a student apartment near Augustana, all on one flat price. This is home base, so short-notice and labor-only jobs are easy to fit in.

How is the flat price kept firm?

Alex looks at what you are actually moving, or how much labor you need, and how tough the access is, then gives you one price and holds to it. As long as the job matches what you told us, it lands on that exact flat price, with no meter and no rounding up at the end.

Do stairs, a piano, or a bridge crossing get charged at the end?

No. A third-floor walk-up, a piano or a safe, and the drive across the river are all in the flat price before the first box moves, so the number never drifts from what Alex quoted you.

Do you do labor-only, or load a POD or rental truck?

We do, and it is half of what we do, it is right in our name. Book Alex's crew just for the muscle: we will load or unload your rental truck, POD, or trailer, or move a few heavy pieces, packed tight and padded, all for one flat price.

Do you move pianos and heavy items?

Yes, and it is already in your flat price. Pianos, gun safes, gym equipment, and the other heavy, awkward pieces ride on the right board with proper straps and padding, muscled out by a crew that has moved plenty of them.

Do you take a deposit?

Just a small refundable hold to lock in your crew and your date, and nothing else. The rest is due once the job is done, and the estimate is always free.

Ready for a flat price you can plan the whole Quad Cities move around?

Your flat price comes straight from Alex, usually the same day you ask.
