Full-Service Moving Company in St. Charles, MO
Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment or a five-bedroom house, or relocating a small office, McGuire can plan, pack, load, transport, and deliver your move under one roof. Here is how our professional moving services apply to St. Charles customers.
Local Moving Services in St. Charles
Our local moving services cover moves within St. Charles and between St. Charles and neighboring communities, including moves to and from St. Louis. We move apartments, condos, townhouses, and single-family homes. Crews load and protect your furniture, transport your belongings, unload, and place furniture where you want it. Because St. Charles includes both older properties and newer residential developments, we plan each local move around the real conditions at your pickup and delivery addresses, such as stairs, driveways, and where a truck can park.
Long-Distance & Interstate Moving
Leaving St. Charles for another state, or moving to St. Charles County from somewhere else? McGuire is an agent for Bekins Van Lines, which gives our long-distance moving services a national network behind a local team. We build a customized plan around your dates and inventory, then coordinate packing, transportation, and, when your timelines don’t match, storage in transit. You work with McGuire from the first estimate to final delivery.
Residential Moving
Our residential movers help first-time homebuyers, growing families, and households moving to something bigger or smaller. We protect furniture with pads and wraps, disassemble and reassemble large pieces, and handle specialty items with extra care. McGuire also provides special senior and military moving services. Packing and storage are optional add-ons, so you can choose as much or as little help as you want.
Commercial & Office Moving
Small businesses and offices in St. Charles can rely on our commercial movers and office moving services to move furniture, equipment, and supplies with minimal disruption. We coordinate scheduling around your operations, offer commercial packing, and provide business storage when your new space isn’t ready or you’re downsizing. A clear plan before moving day keeps your team productive.
Professional Packing & Unpacking
Our professional packing services include full-service packing, partial packing (such as fragile items only), and self-packing support with boxes and materials. For antiques, artwork, and other valuables, custom crating is available. After delivery, our crews can unpack and place your belongings so you can settle in faster.
Short-Term & Long-Term Storage
Need a place for your belongings between closing dates or during a renovation? McGuire’s moving and storage solutions include short-term storage and long-term storage in a climate-controlled facility with 250,000 square feet of space. Because we’re also your mover, pickup, storage, and delivery are scheduled together. Business storage is available too.
Experienced Movers Serving St. Charles Neighborhoods
St. Charles isn’t one kind of place to move. A brick home near the riverfront, a townhome in a planned community, and a student apartment each come with different access, parking, and timing issues. We evaluate those conditions before moving day so the crew arrives with the right plan.
Moving in Historic St. Charles
The Historic Main Street district and the older residential streets around it are among the most recognizable parts of St. Charles. They are also among the trickiest to move in. Narrow streets, cobblestone paving, limited curb space, and older homes with tight doorways and stairways all affect how a truck is positioned and how furniture comes in and out. Before your move, we review access at both addresses, plan where the truck can safely stop, and protect floors, door frames, banisters, and furniture along the route. A few minutes of planning up front prevents scraped walls and delays later.
Moving Near New Town at St. Charles
New Town at St. Charles and similar planned communities usually mean townhomes and single-family homes with different needs: driveway and street parking, multi-level floor plans, and, in some communities, rules about when and where moving trucks may park. We confirm those details in advance and plan for moves between homes of different sizes, such as a larger family home to a townhome or the reverse. If your community requires notice or has specific move-in rules, check with your association early and tell us what you learn, so we can schedule around it.
Moving Throughout Greater St. Charles
Our crews move households and businesses across the city, including Frenchtown, the Historic Main Street district, New Town at St. Charles, the Lindenwood University area, and neighborhoods along the Zumbehl Road, West Clay Street, and Highway 94 corridors. The address matters less than the property. A second-floor apartment near campus, a ranch home in an established subdivision, and a century-old house in Frenchtown call for different crew sizes, equipment, and timing. Tell us about stairs, elevators, parking, and distance from the door to the truck when you request your estimate, and we will plan around it.
“Incredible service, planning, and execution! McGuire & Sons managed to make my cross-city move into a NEW home on a rainy day easy and stress-free. These folks took excellent care in wrapping, stacking, and moving everything, and even helped put together a sectional couch at the end. Not one item of mine was damaged, and they laid out material to protect the floors and carpet upstairs. From the consultation/quote stage all the way to settling payment, I really have to commend the entire team on an excellent job. Moving 7 times in just as many years, I’ve never seen such a professional and dialed-in crew. Thank y’all!” – Taylor W.

Our St. Charles Moving Process
If you’re wondering what to expect when you hire movers in St. Charles, here is how a McGuire move works from start to finish.
Step 1: Request a Free Moving Estimate
Contact us online or by phone. We’ll ask about your addresses, move date, and the size of your home or space. Then we review your belongings through an in-home or online estimate so that the quote reflects what you are actually moving.
Step 2: Develop a Customized Moving Plan
Together, we settle on your moving date, packing needs, and special items such as pianos, artwork, or antiques. We also note access details for both addresses, including stairs, elevators, parking, and any building or community requirements.
Step 3: Prepare and Pack
Choose full packing, partial packing, or pack on your own with our materials. Before the move, we help you prepare furniture and identify anything that needs extra protection, such as custom crating.
Step 4: Load and Transport
On moving day, the crew protects your furniture, loads the truck carefully, and transports your belongings to your new address or to storage. Your coordinator stays in touch if timing changes.
Step 5: Unload and Settle Into Your New Location
The crew unloads, reassembles furniture, and places items in the rooms you choose. If you’ve booked unpacking, we’ll unpack and arrange your belongings so you can start living in the space.

“I’ve used McGuire for several moves now, dating back several years. I’ve used them to move my mother twice now, locally and across the country; and I’ve used them twice to move my belongings, both locally and interstate. They’ve consistently done a great job. The crews have been super helpful, polite, careful and attentive, and they really seem to be happy to work for McGuire. You can tell they work together well and have a sense of pride in doing a great job. I’ve seen several of the guys on more than one of my moves, and they speak highly of the company, which I think makes a clear statement above and beyond the job they do. I can’t say enough good things about the company and would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.” – Michael L.
How Much Do Movers Cost in St. Charles, MO?
Quick answer: The cost of a St. Charles move depends on the distance, the size of the move, the amount of labor required, and any added services such as packing or storage. Because those factors vary from one move to the next, McGuire provides a free, customized estimate instead of a flat rate.
Several factors shape your price:
- Size of your home or apartment and how much you are moving
- Distance between your origin and destination
- Amount of furniture and belongings, including bulky or heavy items
- Number of movers and the time the job requires
- Packing and unpacking, if you want help
- Specialty items such as pianos, antiques, and artwork
- Stairways, elevators, and loading access at either address
- Storage requirements before, during, or after the move
- Moving date and seasonal demand, since busy times fill up faster
Local Moving Costs vs. Long-Distance Moving Costs
Local and interstate moves are estimated differently. A local move within St. Charles or the nearby area is generally driven by the amount of labor and time required, including crew size, access conditions, and any packing or storage. A long-distance move adds distance and the size of the shipment, along with coordination through Bekins Van Lines. Neither type of move has a single price that fits everyone, so the most reliable way to compare is to request an estimate for your specific inventory and dates.
How to Get an Accurate Moving Estimate
Start with the basics: your move date, addresses, and the size of your home. Then tell us about large or specialty items, how many floors and stairs are involved, whether elevators or parking restrictions apply, and whether you want packing or storage. An in-home or online inventory review gives the estimator a clear picture of your belongings, which helps the quote hold up on moving day. The more detail you share, the fewer surprises later.
Moving to St. Charles, Missouri? What to Know
If you’re relocating to St. Charles, the type of home you’re moving into shapes your plan more than anything else.
Moving Into a Historic Home
Older homes often have narrower doorways, steep or winding stairs, and limited space for a truck nearby. Measure doorways and stairwells for large furniture before moving day, think about where the truck can park, and tell your estimator about any tight spots. We will plan for floor and wall protection and, if needed, disassemble larger pieces so they fit.
Moving Into a Newer Home or Townhouse
Newer homes and townhouses are often multi-level, which means more trips up and down stairs and more attention to large furniture. Confirm any community requirements for moving trucks, move-in times, or parking, and share them with us when we plan your date. Clear walkways and driveways also help the crew move quickly.
Moving Into an Apartment Near Lindenwood University
Apartment moves come down to access: stairs, elevators, parking, and the time window your building allows. Reserve elevator time or loading space with your property manager if it’s required, and avoid scheduling your move when many other people are moving in at once. Let us know your floor and building layout so we can plan crew size and truck placement.
Relocating From St. Louis to St. Charles
Moving from the city or St. Louis County to St. Charles is a short trip but still a full move. McGuire is based in St. Louis, so our local movers can coordinate your pickup and delivery in the same day when conditions allow, or hold your belongings in storage if your dates don’t line up.
“Used McGuire moving again….This time for an out of state move and could not be happier. Great communication, driver was on time and professional. Very pleased with my experience and will not consider using anyone else. Absolutely the best. Needed to move two houses into one in one day and they did it! Great employees who were polite, strong, courteous, and hard working. Respected our homes and contents. No doubt I’ll use again and recommend to everyone.” – Jaime L.
Moving and Storage Services for St. Charles Residents
Many moves have gaps: a closing that doesn’t match your move-out date, a renovation that takes over the house, or a downsize that requires time to sort belongings. Combining moving and storage under one company keeps those gaps from becoming extra work. Common situations include:
- Storage between home closings when your move-out and move-in dates differ
- Temporary storage during renovations to keep furniture clear of dust and damage
- Storage when downsizing while you decide what to keep, sell, or donate
- Household storage during long-distance moves when delivery dates need to shift
- Business storage during office relocations for furniture, equipment, and records
McGuire’s storage is in a climate-controlled facility, and your belongings can be picked up, stored, and delivered by the same crew that moved them. Learn more about our storage solutions and short-term storage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in St. Charles, MO
How much do movers cost in St. Charles, MO?
Moving costs in St. Charles depend on the size of your home, the distance, how much you’re moving, crew size, and add-ons such as packing or storage. McGuire doesn’t use a one-size-fits-all rate. We provide a free estimate based on your actual belongings and access conditions, so the number you receive reflects your move rather than an average.
How far in advance should I book a moving company in St. Charles?
Book about four weeks ahead, and sooner if your move falls on a weekend, near the end of the month, or in the busy summer season. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and time to plan packing and access. If your move is on a shorter timeline, call McGuire to check availability.

Yes. McGuire moves apartments, condos, townhouses, and single-family homes. For apartments and townhouses, we plan around stairs, elevators, parking, and any building or community move-in rules.

What should I do to prepare for moving day?
Pack your essentials, label boxes by room, and clear walkways and driveways so the crew can work efficiently.

Does McGuire offer short-term storage between moving dates?
