What an Uptown move really involves

Uptown is the busy district around Hennepin Avenue and West Lake Street, spanning the corners of four neighborhoods, and it is dense: walk-up apartments, converted houses and busy commercial frontage all competing for the same curb. That is why we work here as quick-moving Minnesota movers and why so much of it is flat-rate apartment moving in buildings where parking is measured in minutes.

One Uptown moving crew, both addresses

One crew, both ends, no handover. We are through Uptown constantly, so a job finishing in Lowry Hill East or over in the East Harriet blocks is an ordinary week, and it all runs through the wider Minneapolis crew.

Fourteen services across Uptown

Fourteen services, one crew standard, one flat figure.

A move within Uptown is short on distance but heavy on access. Quoted flat, so time lost to a blocked curb is our problem, not your bill. Converted houses and period walk-ups off the main drag, packed and loaded room by room rather than in one scramble.

HOW AN UPTOWN MOVE RUNS

Our moving process in Uptown

In a district this busy, the curb is the hard part, not the carry.
So access, timing, price and crew are all agreed before the date rather than fought over on the morning.
The figure and the schedule reach you in writing well ahead of time.
Then move day comes down to simply doing it.

Walkthrough and written quote

We assess it first, on video or in person: which floor, how many flights, whether there is anywhere legal to stop a truck outside. Then one flat, all-inclusive figure, in writing.

Your move plan, locked in

Approve the figure and the date is held. We book any loading zone, confirm insurance certificates and set a start window that beats the Lake Street traffic.

Move day, start to finish

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

WHY UPTOWN BOOKS BLUE DOLLY

Why choose our Uptown movers

What you get when the curb is a fight

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 Uptown tells us afterward

A studio over a Hennepin storefront and a converted duplex two streets back are nothing alike, and we do not price them the same.
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!

Uptown moving questions, answered

What does a move within Uptown usually cost?
Volume, distance and the services you add set it, and we quote one flat figure after a walkthrough. Wrapping, floor protection and fuel sit inside that number, with no hourly meter running while a curb clears.
There is nowhere to park a truck on my block. What happens?
It is the first thing we check. We book a loading zone where one exists, otherwise find the nearest legal standing point and price the carry in, so a blocked curb never turns into a surprise charge.
My building is a walk-up with no lift. Is that extra?
The flights are counted at the walkthrough and built into the flat figure, so no. Walk-ups are most of what we move in Uptown and the crew arrives expecting them.
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 cover moves out of Uptown to the suburbs?
Constantly. A good share of these jobs end with crews across in St. Paul, and a fair few run out to our Plymouth base. Same crew standard and the same flat quote wherever it lands.
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 Uptown if you want the background.
