Professional Stacking Systems Over Pure Muscle

High-Cube Spatial Stacking

Our crews do not just throw boxes inside your rental vehicle. We construct tight, interlocking tiers from floor to ceiling, maximizing your space and saving you from renting larger trucks. If you haven’t boxed your items yet, our packing and unpacking service can seamlessly prepare your household before loading begins.

Strategic Blocking & Bracing

We cleanly lock down your heavy furniture using professional ties, row-blocking grids, and tight padding layers to isolate and eliminate movement risks during highway transit. This is especially crucial for residential moving clients handling their own driving.

Reliable In-House Movers

The crew that handles your loading labor consists entirely of our full-time, background-checked employees. We never source from unvouched daily temp labor pools.

Focused Hourly Billing Structures

We insulate our labor-only clients from the deceptive billing structures standard across secondary operations. Simple Moves features an honest, straightforward one-hour minimum billing baseline for all weekday custom operations. Weekday labor remains flat at $145.00 per hour for a professional 2-man crew, with billing in 15-minute increments after the initial hour window closes. Friday and Saturday schedules scale at a flat rate of $160.00 per hour.

Local Proximity Surcharges

Standard transit fees to dispatch our moving personnel directly to your local rental yard, residence, or commercial site are a highly competitive flat $125.00 within our immediate operating zones. Our service lines provide fluid loading labor coverage across a comprehensive 150-mile radius originating from our primary Page Avenue depot, including dispatch to properties listed through the St. Louis Association of REALTORS®.

Fixed Single-Item Flat Rates

For clients who only need help loading or unloading a few oversized furniture items from a truck or trailer, we offer an upfront flat-rate package. This layout menu is designed to handle individual objects such as upright pianos, pool table slats, or large gun safes that require premium industrial straps and heavy-duty dollies to clear tight property entry steps safely. If you need secure placement for these items before your new location is ready, consider utilizing our short-term storage solutions.

Insurance Concepts Compliance

Simple Moves eliminates uncertainty in property care by maintaining top-tier business insurance and cargo compliance systems. Monitored cleanly under the supervision of Insurance Concepts of St. Louis, and verified by the Missouri Department of Commerce & Insurance, official liability validation documents can be instantly dispatched directly to your property board or desk before our labor crews step on-site. This level of protection is vital for complex commercial moving transitions.
