Troy is one of the highest-volume moving markets in Oakland County. The neighborhoods south of Big Beaver Road have a dense mix of colonials, ranches, and newer construction homes that turn over constantly. The corporate corridors along Crooks Road and John R bring in relocating employees who need a moving company that can quote accurately on short notice and actually show up when they say they will. Flat-rate companies handle that market by padding every quote for worst-case time. Mantis bills by the hour, which means a well-organized Troy household that loads fast pays less than the estimate, not more.
We have moved out of Troy's older split-levels near the Troy Historic Village and into the newer subdivisions north of M-59. We know which apartment complexes near the Somerset Collection require freight elevator reservations and which corporate move-ins along Big Beaver require after-hours access. That kind of local detail comes from doing this work in Troy year after year, not from a regional dispatch system that sends any available crew to any available job.
Every Mantis move in Troy starts with a written hourly estimate before the crew shows up. The clock starts when the first item moves, not when the truck parks. Every piece of furniture is wrapped in heavy-duty moving blankets before it leaves the room. When the job is done, we walk every room with you. The clock stops and so does the billing.
Every service below is priced by the hour, not a flat rate. You pay for actual time worked and nothing else.
Most Troy moves stay within Oakland County. Short local jobs are where the hourly model makes the biggest difference. You pay for the time it actually takes. No fuel surcharges added at the end, no minimum haul distance fees, no flat rate built around a worst-case scenario.
Learn More →Troy's colonials, split-levels, and newer construction homes each have their own layout challenges. We have worked in every neighborhood across Troy and price every residential move by the hour. Your bill reflects the actual job, not a standardized flat rate estimate built for someone else's house.
Learn More →Troy's apartment complexes along the Big Beaver corridor and near the Somerset Collection area have elevator access requirements and limited move-in windows. We coordinate building access before your date and work efficiently within those restrictions. Hourly billing keeps apartment moves reasonably priced regardless of unit size.
Learn More →Troy has one of the highest concentrations of corporate office parks in Southeast Michigan. Office moves in this market require loading dock scheduling, freight elevator coordination, and careful equipment handling. We price every commercial job by the hour and minimize downtime with organized pre-move planning.
Learn More →Already rented a truck or have a PODS container sitting in your driveway? Mantis provides the loading and unloading crew. We bring all equipment, including dollies, moving blankets, straps, and stretch wrap. Labor-only jobs are billed hourly with a two-hour minimum. You handle the vehicle. We handle the work.
Learn More →Senior moves in Troy require a crew that operates at a patient pace without cutting corners. We coordinate every detail in advance, handle fragile and specialty items with extra care, and work through the walkthrough at the end so nothing is missed. Every hour of careful work is billed at the same hourly rate.
Learn More →Moving out of Troy to another state? Pairing a one-way truck rental with Mantis loading labor typically comes in well below a national carrier's flat rate. We load your truck for long-distance transit, secure every item for highway movement, and price the loading portion by the hour.
Learn More →When your move-out and move-in dates do not align, Mantis loads your belongings into a storage unit or PODS container and returns when you are ready. We coordinate the full process from both ends and price every stage of the job by the hour, so storage gaps do not turn into unexpected expenses.
Learn More →Three steps. No fine print. The clock only runs while we are actually working.
Call (248) 773-4884, text, or fill out the form at the top of this page. Give us your Troy address, move date, room count, and any access specifics like building freight elevators or gated community entry requirements. We send a written hourly estimate the same day with no obligation attached.
Troy moves have real logistics. We check building access for your specific address, confirm any corporate campus or apartment complex requirements, review parking and loading zone constraints near your origin and destination, and confirm your arrival window in writing. When move day arrives, every access question has already been answered.
The crew arrives with a fully equipped truck and does a five-minute walkthrough to confirm priorities. The clock starts when the first item moves and stops when the final piece is placed and you have walked through the destination with us. The time between those two moments is your bill, and nothing else.
I had an amazing experience with this moving company. They handled a huge amount of heavy equipment for my job, and everything was moved and set up perfectly. The crew was fantastic to work with — super friendly, professional, and actually made the whole process enjoyable. Highly recommend them!
