Commerce Township is one of West Oakland County's most active moving markets, driven by a mix of lakefront homes along Union Lake, established subdivisions off the Commerce Road corridor, and newer construction near the Walled Lake border. The variety of property types makes flat-rate pricing a poor fit for Commerce Township moves. A lakefront home with a long gravel driveway and a dock-level basement takes more time than a standard subdivision colonial a mile away. Mantis charges by the hour, so your bill reflects your actual home, not some average the dispatch office built into a flat rate.
Lakefront properties around Proud Lake Recreation Area and Union Lake present specific access challenges that our crew is prepared for. Long driveways, limited turnaround space for large trucks, and furniture that has to travel significant distances before it reaches a truck door all add up. We account for those factors when we build your estimate so there are no surprises on move day. The M-5 connector gives our trucks clean access into and out of Commerce Township, making connections to Novi, West Bloomfield, and the broader metro area efficient on both ends of a move.
Every Commerce Township move with Mantis starts with a written hourly estimate before any commitment is made. The crew arrives with a fully equipped truck, heavy-duty moving blankets for every piece of furniture, and all the equipment needed for the specific property. The clock starts when the first item moves. It stops when you have walked every room with the crew and approved the final placement. That is the complete transaction. No add-ons, no fuel surcharges tacked on at the end, and no rate that doubles because the job ran a few minutes longer than a flat-rate guess.
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 West Oakland County. Short local jobs are where hourly pricing delivers the clearest savings. You pay for the exact time it takes, and a prepared crew working a familiar area finishes quickly. No minimum distance fees or fuel surcharges added at the end.

Commerce Township moves have real logistics. We assess driveway access for lakefront homes along Union Lake and Proud Lake, confirm truck routing via the M-5 connector, and note any long-carry distances from the home to the street. You get a confirmed arrival window in writing. On move day there are no surprises because we solved the access questions in advance.
The crew arrives on time with a fully equipped truck. We do a five-minute walkthrough, confirm priorities, and the clock starts when the first item moves. The clock stops when the last piece is placed and you have approved the final walkthrough. The time between those two moments is your bill. Nothing else.
I really enjoyed the service from Demetrius and his team. They packaged all my belongings, wrapped all my furniture, and brought everything into my new home neatly. They showed that they care for the job they do and make sure customers are 100% satisfied. I would highly recommend Demetrius and his crew.
Demetrius, josh and airon were magnificent from start to finish. The packing, the service — everything was on point. They move like a team, the communication through the move was beautiful. This company needs an option for 100 stars because they deserve it.
Demetrius and his crew were phenomenal! They came and wrapped up my furniture and moved it into my new house. If I could give 10 stars I would, great job fellas
