Moving in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor moves run on the university calendar, and the last week of August is the busiest stretch of the year by a wide margin — a large share of leases turn over at once. Older housing near campus has narrow staircases and porches that will not take large case goods, and street parking near downtown needs planning.
What decides a Ann Arbor crew day is rarely the mileage — it is the stair count, the parking and whether anything has to come apart to clear a doorway. The closest market we also cover is Detroit, 40 miles out. The nearest large market outside Michigan is Toledo, OH, about 50 miles and 1 day away.
The survey matters more here than the postcode: two houses on the same street in Ann Arbor can be a half-day apart once stairs and access are counted.

Moving in Ann Arbor: common questions
Which Ann Arbor ZIP codes do you cover?
48103, 48104, 48105, 48106, 48107, 48108, 48109, 48113. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Ann Arbor take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Detroit, MI — 40 mi, 1 day; Toledo, OH — 50 mi, 1 day; Grand Rapids, MI — 130 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Washtenaw County?
Yes. Ann Arbor is what people search for, but crews run throughout Washtenaw County and the surrounding towns.
Do you pack as well as move in Ann Arbor?
Full pack, partial pack, or just the fragile things — kitchens, art and electronics are the usual partial-pack request. It matters beyond convenience: damage to a carton you packed yourself is generally not covered the way a professionally packed one is.
