Residential Moving Services

Moving a home is personal. Your belongings are the things that make your house feel like home, and they deserve to be treated that way. McGuire’s residential moving team handles every job, big or small, with the same level of care we’d want for our own families.

Local Moving

Moving across the street, across St. Louis, or to a neighboring suburb still deserves a professional approach. Our local moving services come with transparent, upfront pricing, free standard valuation coverage, and a crew that knows the St. Louis area inside and out. No matter which St. Louis neighborhood or Missouri or Illinois suburb you’re headed to, we’ll get your household there safely and on schedule.

Long-Distance Moving

Relocating across the state or across the country brings its own set of logistics and its own stress. Our long-distance moving services take that weight off your shoulders. Backed by the Bekins Van Lines network, we coordinate every detail of your interstate move, from accurate weight-based estimates to real-time shipment tracking, so you always know where your belongings are and when they’ll arrive.

International Moving

Moving overseas involves customs documentation, international shipping regulations, and destination logistics that all come into play. Our international moving services are designed to simplify that complexity. As a Bekins agent, we tap into a global network of moving professionals to help your belongings clear customs and arrive safely, wherever in the world you’re headed.

Specialty Moving

Some items need more than a standard approach. Pianos, fine art, antiques, wine collections, and other high-value or delicate belongings require specialized equipment and hands-on expertise to move without risk. Our specialty moving crews are trained in the padding, crating, and handling techniques these items demand, so your most treasured possessions arrive in the same condition they left in.

Senior Moving Services

Downsizing or relocating later in life comes with unique emotional and physical challenges, which is why McGuire offers dedicated senior moving services. As a Bekins Silver Certified mover, our team is specially trained to support older adults and their families through every stage of the process, from sorting and downsizing to coordinating with family members, senior living communities, and estate specialists. We move at your pace, with patience and compassion built into every step.

Military Moving Services

We understand that military families face relocation on a different timeline and with different requirements than most. McGuire’s military moving services are built to accommodate the unique demands of PCS orders, tight deadlines, and government moving protocols, giving military families in the St. Louis area a moving partner who understands their situation and treats their service with the respect it deserves.

Commercial Moving Services

Downtime costs money. When your business needs to relocate, McGuire’s commercial moving services are built around minimizing disruption to your operations while protecting your equipment, furniture, and sensitive materials along the way.

Office Moving

Relocating an office involves far more than desks and chairs — it means safely transporting computers, servers, files, and furniture while keeping your business running with as little interruption as possible. Our office moving crews work with your team to build a relocation plan and timeline that fits around your business hours, often completing moves during evenings or weekends to keep your operation on track.

Corporate Relocation

For larger organizations, multi-department moves, or moves involving specialized equipment, McGuire offers full-scale corporate relocation services. We manage the logistics of moving entire departments or facilities, coordinating everything from furniture disassembly and reassembly to secure transport of sensitive records and technology, all with a single point of contact to keep the process organized from start to finish.

Employee Relocation

Hiring talent from outside the St. Louis area? We help companies support incoming and outgoing employees with smooth, professionally managed household moves. Our employee relocation services take the burden of coordinating a move off both HR teams and the employees themselves, offering a positive first (or last) impression of your company’s commitment to its people.

Residential & Commercial Packing Services

Packing is one of the most time-consuming (and most damage-prone), parts of any move. McGuire’s professional packing services are available for both households and businesses, with options to fit any budget or timeline.

For residential customers, we offer full-service packing and unpacking, partial packing for the rooms or items you’d rather leave to the pros, and high-quality new and used boxes and packing materials for those who prefer to pack themselves. 

For commercial clients, our teams are experienced in packing office equipment, electronics, files, and furniture using materials and methods designed to prevent damage during transit. Every item is packed using techniques developed to withstand the bumps of loading, transport, and unloading, because a move is only as good as the care taken before the truck ever leaves the driveway.

Residential & Commercial Storage Solutions

Sometimes a move doesn’t happen in one clean step. Whether you need somewhere to keep your belongings between homes or a long-term solution for business inventory and records, McGuire’s storage solutions have you covered.

Our short-term storage options are ideal for closing-date gaps, renovations, or moves in progress, while our long-term storage solutions offer a secure, climate-considerate home for your belongings for months or years at a time. For businesses, we provide warehousing for inventory and equipment as well as secure records and data storage for sensitive business documents. If flexibility is what you need, our portable storage options bring a self-storage container right to your door, letting you pack and load on your own schedule.

Every storage option comes with the same standard of security and care that defines the rest of our services, so whether you’re storing a few boxes or an entire office’s worth of furniture, you can trust your items are in good hands.

The Benefits of Hiring Professional Movers

Whether you’re moving a two-bedroom apartment or relocating a 50-person office, hiring professional movers offers advantages that go well beyond simply not having to lift heavy furniture yourself.

• Save Time: Professional movers work efficiently, often completing in a single day what could take a DIY move an entire weekend, freeing you up to focus on settling into your new space rather than wrangling boxes.
• Reduce Risk of Injury: Moving heavy furniture and boxes is one of the most common causes of moving-day injuries. Trained movers know proper lifting techniques and have the right equipment to move heavy or awkward items safely.
• Protect Your Belongings: From furniture pads and shrink wrap to specialized crating for fragile or high-value items, professional movers use equipment and techniques specifically designed to prevent damage in transit.
• Access to the Right Equipment: Dollies, moving straps, ramps, and properly sized trucks all make a move faster and safer. Our team comes fully prepared with all the needed equipment for your relocation.
• Insurance and Valuation Coverage: Professional moving companies offer valuation coverage options that provide peace of mind in the rare event something is damaged, something a group of friends with a pickup truck simply can’t offer.
• Reduced Stress: Moving is consistently ranked among life’s most stressful events. Handing off the heavy lifting (literally and logistically) to a team that does this every day allows you to focus on the emotional and practical aspects of your transition instead.
• Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Between rental truck fees, gas, lost work time, and the risk of damaging your own belongings or your rental property, DIY moves often cost more than people expect. Professional movers offer predictable, upfront pricing that accounts for the whole job.

4. Packing (If Selected): If you’ve chosen packing services, our crew arrives ahead of your move date to carefully pack your belongings using professional-grade materials and techniques.
5. Loading and Transport: Our trained crew loads your belongings with care, using the right equipment for furniture, boxes, and specialty items alike, then transports everything to your new location, locally, across the country, or internationally.
6. Unloading and Placement: At your destination, our team unloads and places furniture and boxes where you want them, helping you get settled in faster.
