The Most Trusted Moving Company in Ann Arbor, MI
Ann Arbor has one of the most distinctive moving markets in Michigan. The University of Michigan drives a massive lease-turnover cycle every August, but the city also has a strong base of permanent residents who own homes in Burns Park, the Old West Side, and the neighborhoods north of Stadium Boulevard. The Victorian homes and craftsman bungalows near Kerrytown have character and their own logistical challenges. Off-campus apartments near State Street and South University have elevator requirements, loading dock policies, and limited street parking. Neither type of move is simple, and flat-rate companies price both of them the same way: too high. Mantis bills by the hour so you pay for what your specific move actually requires.
August 1st is the single most compressed moving day in Ann Arbor. Nearly every student lease in the city turns over in the same week. We plan our Ann Arbor schedule specifically for that period and book in advance to make sure we have enough crew capacity. If you are moving around the August turnover, call us early. If you are a homeowner or faculty member moving on a different timeline, weekday bookings in Ann Arbor are typically easy to accommodate within a week or two.
Every Mantis move in Ann Arbor starts with a written hourly estimate and ends with a room-by-room walkthrough at the destination. The clock runs between those two points and nowhere else.
