Commerce Township has grown steadily into one of western Oakland County's most sought-after communities. The newer subdivisions along the M-5 corridor and Pontiac Trail, the established lakefront neighborhoods on Cass Lake and Union Lake, and the growing developments near Commerce Road all see consistent household turnover. Families relocating out of more urban areas into Commerce Township's quieter bedroom community setting, buyers receiving keys on new construction on tight schedules, and lakefront homeowners dealing with seasonal access complications are all customers we work with regularly. Flat-rate companies build their quotes around worst-case scenarios. We bill by the hour, which means a prepared household with a capable crew pays a bill that reflects actual work performed.
We know the access realities of Commerce Township. Narrow driveways on lakefront properties along Cass Lake and Commerce Lake require truck placement planning before the job starts. HOA-governed subdivisions off M-5 have move-in time restrictions that need to be confirmed in advance. Traffic patterns on M-59 and I-275 affect crew arrival times and we plan around them. That knowledge means our jobs in Commerce Township stay on schedule when other companies run into problems they did not anticipate.
Every Mantis move in Commerce Township begins with a written hourly estimate before anyone arrives. The clock starts when the first item moves, not when the truck parks outside. Furniture is wrapped in moving blankets before it leaves the room. When the final piece is placed and you walk through with the crew, the clock stops and that window of time is the entire bill.
Every service below is priced by the hour, not a flat rate. You pay for actual time worked and nothing else.
Most Commerce Township moves stay within western Oakland County or cross into neighboring Walled Lake, Wixom, Novi, or West Bloomfield. Short local moves are where hourly pricing delivers the most savings over flat-rate alternatives. An efficient crew with a well-prepared household finishes faster and that savings goes directly back to you on move day.
Learn More →Commerce Township's mix of newer subdivisions and established lakefront properties creates a variety of layout challenges. We have worked in compact ranch homes on lakefront lots with tight driveway clearances and in large newer construction homes in planned communities off M-5. Every residential move is billed by the hour so your invoice reflects what your specific address actually requires.
Learn More →Lakefront homes on Cass Lake, Union Lake, Commerce Lake, and Walled Lake present access challenges that standard movers are not always prepared for. Narrow seasonal roads, limited parking for large trucks, and dock-area maneuvering all require pre-move planning. We assess every lakefront property before scheduling the crew so the job runs cleanly on move day. Billed hourly with no surprises.
Learn More →Businesses along the Commerce Road corridor and in Commerce Township's growing office and retail developments need commercial moves that minimize downtime. We handle workstations, equipment, and file systems with the same hourly transparency as residential jobs. No hidden commercial surcharges and no overages at the end of the job that were not in the original estimate.
Learn More →If you have arranged your own truck or have a PODS container at your Commerce Township address, Mantis supplies the loading and unloading crew. We arrive with dollies, furniture straps, moving blankets, and stretch wrap. You manage the vehicle reservation. We manage the physical labor. Labor-only bookings are billed by the hour with a two-hour minimum.
Learn More →Senior moves demand a pace and level of care that standard crews do not always provide. We coordinate all details ahead of move day, wrap fragile and high-value items with extra attention, and place furniture exactly where it needs to go at the destination. Billing by the hour means a careful, unhurried job is still priced fairly without inflated flat-rate buffers.
Learn More →Moving from Commerce Township to another state? A one-way truck rental with Mantis providing the loading crew typically saves substantial money over national carrier flat rates. We pack the truck correctly for long-distance transit, secure everything for highway travel, and bill the loading work by the hour. You handle the drive or fly to the destination. We handle the loading.
Learn More →When your new Commerce Township home is not ready on the same day you vacate your current address, Mantis can load your belongings into a storage unit or container and return when you are ready. We coordinate the initial load and the final delivery and bill every hour of work at the same straightforward rate with no storage markup on our end.

Call (248) 773-4884, text, or fill out the form at the top of this page. Give us your Commerce Township address, move date, approximate room count, and any access details like lakefront driveway restrictions, HOA move-in windows, or gated community requirements. You get a written hourly estimate the same day with no obligation to book.
We confirm HOA or building access requirements at your specific Commerce Township address, check for lakefront road or driveway constraints, review M-59 and I-275 traffic patterns that affect arrival timing, and verify any restrictions at your destination address. Every access question gets resolved before the truck leaves our yard on move day.
The crew arrives with a fully equipped truck and does a quick walkthrough to confirm priorities and access points. The clock starts when the first item moves. The clock stops when the final piece is placed at the destination and you have walked the rooms with us and confirmed everything is right. That window of time is your entire bill.
Elliot was extremely responsive, professional, and easy to work with from the start. Being able to text photos of the furniture and quickly talk through logistics without a ton of back-and-forth made everything feel seamless. Great communication, great customer service.
I had a fantastic experience with Airon and Demetrius. Moving can be incredibly stressful, but their professionalism and care made the entire process seamless. Every item was handled safely. Highly recommend this team!
