What you get

How we handle Local Moving

A short move is painless when the crew already knows the old bluff staircases and the river-bridge crossings. We blanket the furniture, lay down floor protection, and keep a steady clip, and the flat price Alex quoted is exactly what you pay at the end, no meter running.

No hourly meter

A flat price up front, whether you need full movers or just the muscle

Plenty of Quad Cities movers put you on an hourly rate and let the clock run up the bill. Alex does it the other way: you get one flat price up front for the whole job, whether that is a full-service move or just loading help, so the number never climbs while the crew works.

Tell us about it

Run Alex through the place, the stairs and the parking, whether you need full movers or just labor to load a truck or POD, and the dates you have in mind, by phone, text, or a quick video walk-through.

Get a flat price

One flat price comes back from Alex, usually the same day you reach out, with nothing left to guess at.

Book when it works

The quote is free and there is no pressure. You only lock it in once the price and the day both sit right with you.

Reviews from both sides of the river

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!

Alex's movers are mature, experienced truck drivers and movers. Dave and Jacob arrived on time, and were courteous and customer-pleasing. They were safety-minded for personnel, property, and furniture. Every step spoke of their pre-thought, techniques, and training. They were very organized and skilled, and took great care of us, our furniture, and our property. I will definitely share your information with my associates. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Alex's Moving and Labor! These guys were quick, professional, and efficient, and did not leave a scratch on the furniture or the apartment. They even gave me a good price to pick up new furniture from a store that would not deliver. Friendly, great to talk to, an overall 10 out of 10.

Local Moving FAQs

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 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.

Can you move through Quad Cities winters and summers?

All year. Through a hard Midwest January we salt the steps and load fast so nothing sits out in the cold; in the humid summer we start early and keep a steady pace. Your date holds whether it is an ice storm or a muggy July afternoon by the river.

How much notice should I give?

A week or two out suits most jobs, and month-ends and college move weeks fill up soonest. If the crew has an opening we will still take a short-notice or next-day job, even labor-only, so it never hurts to give Alex a call.

What keeps my floors and walls from getting marked?

Runners go down on the floors, the door frames and railings get padded, and the furniture is blanket-wrapped first, so both the old place and the new one come through clean, tight old river-town stairwells and all.

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.
