Two hours of crew time. We don't pad studios into a four-hour minimum the way most West Des Moines companies do.

Yes. Send us the management company's requirements and we'll have the certificate issued, usually within a few hours. Most West Des Moines buildings won't let a crew load without one.
Can you move a studio same day?
Often, if a truck is open. Studios are small enough to slot into a gap in the West Des Moines schedule — call (888) 570-2406 and ask what's free today.
Will you take apart my bed and desk?
Yes, disassembly and reassembly are included. Bring the allen keys if your furniture came from a flat-pack store and had custom hardware.

Not unless you want to. Packing a West Des Moines studio takes our team about two hours and typically adds $200–$350 including materials.
What if I only have a few items?
That's fine — we run single-item and micro-load jobs in West Des Moines all the time at the same two-hour minimum.
Do you move studios long distance out of West Des Moines?
Yes, on a shared-load basis, which is much cheaper than a dedicated truck for a studio's volume. Expect $1,400–$3,000 depending on distance.
What about parking in dense parts of West Des Moines?
We check the address for loading zones and permit requirements ahead of time. Where street access is bad we'll plan a shuttle rather than let the meter run on a long carry.
