Moving in itself can be a challenge. During the holiday season in Michigan, moving can be even more of a challenge. Preparing for the holidays is stressful enough for some, but adding moving your household list is even more stressful. Finances, time restrictions, or even slippery sidewalks can put a damper on the moving process. Men on the Move can help you avoid some of the troubles that come along with moving during the holiday season!
Whether you are pregnant, a senior citizen moving, or just a citizen concerned for your safety you may want to avoid moving yourself during the slippery months. Snow, Ice, and cold in Michigan can make moving pure torcher. As professional movers, we show up with two men and a truck to your home and are trained to move during all weather conditions. Yes, we still ask that you put some salt down and shovel snow if you are able, but if someone falls, it won’t be you! Furniture can be heavy, the last thing that we would want is for you to slip and fall carrying your curio cabinet up the steps. To avoid slip and falls, let us complete your residential move in Michigan!
How many people do you know that actually like to be cold? When you are not the one going in and out of the house to get something else out of the truck, you don’t have to be! Keep warm and cozy in your new home while we do all of the heavy liftings. Although, we won’t complain if you decide to fix us some hot chocolate.

Description Of Work:
Helped complete packing and moved my household about 20 miles.
Member Comments:
It went really well. So well that I don’t know how it could have gone any better. Mex, Jon, and Gene were thoroughly professional and also fun to be around. I’d packed about 70 percent of my household and labeled the boxes as requested in the pre-move planning brochure. Despite the rain, the guys were cheerful and fast. I’m still kind of amazed that we moved me in three hours. I think the use of a third crew member was the key, as I was advised that paying a higher rate for the three-man crew would pay for itself in the overall speed of the move. I think that turned out to be true.
The fact that I could pay by the time unit, rather than by the job, made me want to try Men on the Move and it worked out really well. Some other places I called wanted a lump sum for the job, but without coming out to see my place and my possessions, how could they do a fair estimate? They couldn’t. So I highly recommend Men On The Move, and Mex, Gene, and Jon in particular if you’re lucky enough to get them.
