“Tony the Mover is professional, honest and efficient. He and his crew helped my fiance and I to move into our new rental home today. I used his service because he had the best communication, responding quickly to calls and emails, as well as the best quote. However, we got so much more than that! Tony was courteous, skillful and friendly, and he clearly loves his job. He and his crew were so efficient, it made me feel as though I was in a well-organized whirlwind of furniture. Tony came out to the house last week to take a look at it, and to measure the stairs. This was impressive research, and gave me confidence in his professionalism. He added on an extra mover to help to hoist furniture in through the second story porch, since the stairs were too narrow, but this did not greatly increase the earlier quote. He had a fair price for the work done. We agreed on a date and time for the move a week later, and he stuck to it, getting there exactly on time. A bit of backstory on the furniture: My uncle recently had to move into a care facility, and wanted me to have the furniture in his storage locker. It was horribly organized, and involved literally climbing over mountains of furniture. Tony the Mover had the whole place cleaned out and packed in less than an hour. When they arrived at the house, they handily lifted a sofa bed through the porch door, even though this meant removing (and later replacing) the railing. They did this quickly, and without damaging the porch. None of”
Tony the Mover moves Royal Oak, the 1920s bungalows on the narrow, tree-lined streets near downtown. These older homes bring tight streets, rear alleys, and steep basement stairs, so we plan the parking and the carry, on a clear quote.
What Shapes a Royal Oak Move
- 1920s bungalows have narrow, steep stairs down to the basement.
- Narrow streets and rear alleys make truck parking tight.
- Downtown blocks can need a parking plan on a busy day.
Typical Royal Oak Quotes
| Home size | Typical crew | Typical quote |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / small apartment | 2 movers | $220–$340 |
| 1-bedroom | 2 movers | $340–$520 |
| 2-bedroom | 2–3 movers | $520–$800 |
| 3-bedroom home | 3 movers | $800–$1,200 |
Every job is quoted clear before the date, and Tony puts the number in writing with no hidden fees. More on the senior and downsizing page.
How to Keep Your Move Smooth
- Hold a parking spot by the entry, since the streets run narrow.
- Tell us if the access is a rear alley so we bring the right truck.
- Point out the basement and any fragile pieces up front.
