Residential & House Movers in Missoula | Garden City Movers

One Garden City team boxes, loads, drives, and places your whole Missoula house, room by room, and stands behind it from the first carton to the last.

A full house is a different animal from a one-room job, so we crew it differently. Hand Garden City a household move anywhere in Missoula County and a single team owns it end to end: we box the rooms you want boxed, blanket each piece, walk it out, load our own truck, and bring it back off room by room so you are not opening mystery cartons at one in the morning. A lot of homes out here hold the pieces that separate a good crew from a careless one, an upright on a landing, a gun safe down in the basement, art lining a hallway, a home office full of live electronics.

One ticket for labor and materials is what keeps the seams closed. Beds, dining tables, and oversized sectionals come apart for the ride and go back together once we are inside, quilts and drop cloths guarding trim and floors at both houses, and the people doing it have run this drill more times than they could count. A University District Craftsman or a newer four-bedroom up in Miller Creek, it makes no difference: the same crew wraps, drives, and places everything, so nobody can point fingers across a handoff. Anything with a power cord, plus the safe and the upright, is logged and padded rather than heaved aboard.

How move day runs across Missoula’s valleys

The lead walks every room first, sets the order of loading, and protects the path out before a single lift. Montana weather has a say as well. From the first snow icing a Grant Creek drive through the spring squalls and the smoky stretch of August, we send the bulky and powered items out ahead of any change and ride them sheeted, and the trailer stays shut on each leg even under a flawless dry sky. If the place sits behind a gate down the Bitterroot or up a long hillside lane, we get the code and any building rule in advance so the crew is not stuck at an intercom while the hours tick.

What sits outside a household figure

Keeping the figure honest moves a couple of things off the standard job. Cross a state line and our long-distance rate takes over from the in-town price. Hazardous goods, potted plants, and animals do not travel. A grand piano or a heavy safe earns its own specialty line, since each needs its own gear and its own plan instead of hiding inside the top number.

Pricing a full household

We write the flat figure after seeing the home, in person or over a quick video, because the layout and those steep Rattlesnake stairs tell us far more than a guess would. By home size, the rough brackets run a two-bedroom $980–$1,650, a three-bedroom $1,650–$2,750, a four-bedroom $2,650–$4,200, with a studio starting around $380–$600. Packing is added for whatever share you turn over. The whole job rides under $1M of cargo coverage.

What Missoula Families Tell Levi

Megan W.

Miller Creek · Google

★★★★★

“We bought a hillside place up in Miller Creek and the long sloped driveway had me picturing scratched-up furniture. The crew laid down runners, carried the heavy stuff up that grade slow and steady, and not a thing got dinged. They were upbeat the whole day even though it was a cold one. The flat rate held exactly as written. Genuinely good people who clearly take pride in the work.”

Garrett L.

Linda Vista · Google

★★★★

“Hauled from Linda Vista across to Bozeman, and the part I appreciated most was a single team start to finish, the same faces who loaded us in Missoula carried it all inside in Bozeman, never a driver I had not already met. The price they bound held exactly. I am docking a star partly on myself: delivery morning I had to ring them for an arrival time I assumed they would call about. Setting that aside, dependable crew, nothing damaged, fair for the distance.”

Sierra L.

Farviews · Google

★★★★★

“We had an upright to get out of our Farviews place plus a full two-bed, and that piano kept me up at night. Wyatt's guys got it on the skid board, wrapped every surface, and eased it down the front steps without nicking the case or the railing once. Everything after that felt simple. The total landed right on the written quote, and they salted and watched their footing on the icy walk. They clearly know pianos.”

Dustin P.

the Northside · Google

★★★★★

“Three-bedroom that stayed on the Northside, knocked out during a bitter February cold snap. They turned up when promised, kept the whole job methodical, and were gentle with both addresses. My favorite part was knowing the number ahead of time, which meant no quibbling once the truck was empty and zero pressure to add anything on. Anybody who asks me for a mover, I point them here.”

What Missoula Customers Ask About This Service

Do I pack the house, or does Garden City handle that?

Whatever you prefer. Have us box every cabinet, just the breakables and electronics, or nothing at all if you packed it yourself. The flat figure simply follows however much of the work you turn over to our crew.

When we get to the new Missoula house, do you put the beds back together?

We do. The frames, dining sets, and large sectionals come apart for the drive and get rebuilt once we are inside, so your first night is in a real bed instead of on a mattress on the floor.

Will the basement gun safe and the office electronics ride with the rest of the house?

They will. Towers and monitors get wrapped and logged, and a piano or heavy safe takes a separate line so the crew arrives with the right rigging and enough hands for those steep Rattlesnake stairs.

How do you price a whole house out here in western Montana?

We give you a flat figure after surveying the home, on-site or by video. Seeing the actual rooms and the hillside staircase up front lets us price it straight rather than throwing out a number sight unseen.
