What a downtown move involves

Downtown Minneapolis is the high-rise core along the river, tens of thousands of people living in condo and apartment towers around Nicollet Mall and the skyway system. Almost every move here means a service lift, a loading dock and a building certificate of insurance, so the plumbing of the building is the job. We run it as organised high-rise Minnesota movers and it is overwhelmingly tower apartment moving in secured towers.

One downtown crew, both addresses

One crew, both ends, no handover. We are in the towers daily, so a job finishing in the Mill District or over in the North Loop is an ordinary week, and it all runs through crews serving the entire city.

Fourteen services across downtown

Fourteen services, one crew standard, one flat figure.

A downtown move is short on distance but heavy on lift and dock time. Quoted flat, so a slow service lift never becomes an hourly charge. Houses on these blocks tend to be older and tighter than they look. We pack and load room by room rather than in one scramble.

HOW A DOWNTOWN MOVE RUNS

How a downtown move works with us

In a tower core the lift and dock booking is the whole plan.
So access, timing, price and crew are agreed before the date rather than improvised.
The figure and the schedule reach you in writing well ahead of time.
Then move day is simply carried out.

Walkthrough and written quote

We assess it first, on video or in person: which tower, which floor, whether there is a service lift and a dock and what hours the building allows. Then one flat, all-inclusive figure, in writing.

Your move plan, locked in

Approve the figure and the date is held. We book the service lift window, reserve the dock and send the certificate of insurance the building requires.

Move day, start to finish

One uniformed crew, on time, floors, lift pads and shared halls protected before anything moves. They load, drive, unload and place. What you approved is what you pay.

WHY DOWNTOWN BOOKS US

Why choose our downtown movers

A studio in a secured tower and a two-storey penthouse are different jobs even in the same building, and each is quoted on its own.

Licensed, Bonded, Covered

Federal and state authority on file, with cargo and liability cover carried on every job.

One Price, Fixed

One agreed figure, put in writing before we start, and it does not budge on move day.

We Arrive When We Say

Your arrival slot is a commitment, not an estimate, at the pickup and at the drop-off.

Our Own Trucks And Gear

Trucks, dollies, straps and padding that we own, maintain ourselves and check before loading.

Reachable Any Hour

Someone picks up whenever you call, whether it is a fresh booking or a last-minute change.

Backed By Our Promise

We track it and we publish it, and a 98% satisfaction score is the bar we hold ourselves to.

What downtown residents tell us

These land on our Google profile once each job is settled, from people who had our crews in their tower.
The movers were fantastic! Wrapped all the furniture so well.
There was a problem with the storage locker and they handled it perfectly well on their own time and patience.
I would highly recommend them to do any move large or small.
And 79 years of age they also took care of me.
I couldnโ€™t thank them enough!!!
Sam was congenial, professional and prompt!
Jack and Jakob were pleasant, hardworking.

Derek and Marcus were absolutely AMAZING with our move! They disassembled and reassembled furniture, helped figure out the best way to set up our bedroom, lifted heavy furniture (the dining room table is a beast) and did it all without complaint. We moved from the twin cities to about 3 hours north, so I was concerned about price, but it turned out to be extremely reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLUE DOLLY MOVING!!! Thanks guys!!!
Sam and Jacob were here to unload furniture. They were very careful and very hard-working young men! I would recommend them highly!

Downtown moving questions, answered

What does a downtown move usually cost?
Volume, distance and the services you add decide it, quoted as one flat figure after a walkthrough. Wrapping, floor protection and fuel are already inside that number, with no hourly clock running while a lift is waited on.
My building demands a service lift booking and a COI. Can you handle it?
Yes, it is routine for us downtown. We book the service lift and the dock, and send the certificate of insurance to management naming the building, all before move day.
My building only allows moves during set hours. Is that a problem?
None. We work to the building's move windows, whether that is weekday daytime only or a set weekend slot, and plan the crew size to finish inside it.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Blue Dolly Moving & Storage operates under USDOT 3928585, MnDOT 384454 and MC 1521934, and we carry full cargo and liability coverage on every move. You are welcome to verify our authority before you book.
Do you move out of downtown to the suburbs?
Every week. A steady share of these jobs end with the St. Paul-side crew, and plenty run out to our Plymouth team out west. Same crew standard and the same flat quote whichever direction.
Can I reserve the space outside for the truck?
Not through the city, which does not post temporary no-parking signs for residential moves. Metered spaces can be hooded through the ROWay system for around $25 a day, but applications need seven business days' notice, so tell us your date as early as you can. More on downtown Minneapolis if you want the background.
