Local Moving
Let Us Take You Home
We manage residential moves of all kinds, whether it’s local, intrastate or long distance. The first step we take in assessing your move is understanding your specific needs. By understanding your requirements, we can adequately prepare you for what to expect and build a personalized moving strategy that secures a positive moving experience.
Tips Before You Move
Below we have compiled some tips that may assist our customers during the pre-move process.
- Do not pack with masking tape or slim cellophane tape. Use PVC (poly-vinyl chloride).
- Utilize newspapers just to cushion belongings, not for wrapping things. The ink on the newspapers may rub off and can recolor items, for example, fine china.
- Pack similar items together. Try not to pack a fragile china figurine in a similar container with cast iron frying pan, for instance.
- Wind electrical cords, tightening them so they don’t dangle.
- Seal containers firmly with tape, aside from those containing things that must be left open for the van operator’s inspection.

8 Critical Things You Need To Prepare For Movers
Getting ready to move? Here’s 8 tips on moving effectively while using a moving company like us.
Be Thorough
- When hiring a mover, make sure you and the company are fully aware of all property to be moved
- Often, a mover can do an in-home or video tour
- Don’t always choose the lowest price, that doesn’t mean the best
Review Their Estimate
- Even if you feel you talked about everything, review the estimate
- Walk through your house and property to check off any line items
- Make note of additional concerns and contact the mover
If Possible, Make an Inventory
- The average American home has a lot of individual items
- Inventory as much as possible, emphasizing your expensive items
- This allows you to check your moved property at your new location to make sure everything made it
If You are Packing, Pack Smart
- Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box
- Give plenty of time for your kitchen
- Pack important and sentimental in specially marked boxes for easy access
- Make sure the movers leave boxes you need quickly closest to the door.
Establish a Set Moving Date as Soon as Possible.
- You don’t want the date to be a guess.
- You need to be mentally prepared for the move.
- Make time to prepare your home and pack certain special, fragile objects. This is never good to do in a rush.
Know What Cannot Be Transported
- Ask your mover for a list of things they won’t move
- It’s usually chemicals or money and varies with each mover
- Contact us to talk about items you might have concerns with
Create a Packing Plan
- While the mover may do most of the packing, have a plan
- We have done a lot of moves but we don’t know your preferences
- If possible, email it to the mover before the moving day
Establish Knowledge about Insurance
- Talk to your mover about insurance
- Ask what it does and does not cover

They were on time. Crews were courteous and efficient. The office personnel were always easy and pleasant to work with. During packing and loading Brett was patient and listened to any concerns. Torry worked diligently packing, loading, driving and unloading. Marcus helped with the packing and unloading into storage. Torry and Marcus arrived on time at the storage facility and worked hard. They were never discourteous and it was hot. I do not remember his name but during the loading a young man nicknamed Popeye also worked very hard but always with a smile.

Zac and Marcus with This Side Up saved me! My husband had to leave early for his work trip and we were not able to finish our move, so we called This Side Up and the next day they made an opening to come and help me move the rest of my furniture, washer/dryer, and freezer! Zac and Marcus not only took a huge weight off but were extremely professional! I have moved several times prior and were not impressed with the movers we hired but lets just say if we ever need moving assistance again This Side Up would be the team we would call!! Thank you so much Zac and Marcus for all of your help and taking a huge stress load off my back! Keep up the amazing work!!

On May 13, 2021, TSU Movers moved large pieces of furniture for me from my business site in Research Park to a storage facility. The movers, Ethan and Alec, were on time and waiting at my building when I arrived late, and I appreciated their polite patience! They were very nice, conversational young men who quickly and efficiently got to work wrapping and protecting each piece of furniture—including glass shelving—and loading the truck. Same good work once at the storage facility as well. We were done in under three hours. Their professionalism obviously reflects TSU’s professionalism. I’ve used TSU twice for personal moves and once for the business, and I plan to do so in the future! Dependable, excellent quality movers! Highly recommend them.

Jordan and Bobby did a local move for me and I am very satisfied. They were prompt, efficient, professional, put everything where it needed to go, and more. They didn't waste time, but were still friendly and polite. They didn't balk at the steps - on both sides of the move - and took care with both our goods and the walls and ceilings. I would definitely suggest you check out This Side Up if you need help with a move.

March 26This Side Up movers Made my mother's move a pleasant experience! She has a lot of antique furniture and she was so worried about the move. This Side Up team (Zack, Mario, and Alec) took great care of all of her things, making sure to wrap up each piece and moving it all with great care. Zack was very pleasant, and showed interest in many of her pieces; this made her feel proud to share the history of her furniture with him as he wrapped them up to move.I will feel confident recommending them to my friends and family!! Thank you This Side Up!

Recently had a big move for my grandmother to Redstone Village. Zak, Alec, and Mario did a wonderful job! Very helpful and more than willing to make things easy for her. Had several large items that were moved without issue. Everything arrived in great condition. They had several options to help with organization and moving the little things as well. Would highly recommend this group.

They did a great job and were super professional. My only issue: I would prefer that they have customers fill out all of the paperwork required online, instead of taking up moving time to do that.

Ethan, Brett, Kenneth, Mario and Joey were life-savers! I had to have several large items relocated from Alabama to Kentucky; they were the items that were too large for me to move myself. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing help! I plan on using them again in the future. Thanks again, guys!! 😊

What could have been a tough day for moving in the rain, Brett and Zak made it a perfect experience. They were timely, efficient, and friendly. They handled our items with great care and went out of their way to be sure the day went flawlessly. If you need a moving service, This Side Up should be your first call. Thanks for making our day!

If you’re moving! Call these guys!! This was my first time using a moving company. I’d always had family move me. I wasn’t sure what to expect. But This Side Up went above & beyond my expectations. Zak and Brett were the best movers I could ever wish for! They were polite, respectful, gentle with my belongings, and super accommodating! Can’t brag enough on these guys!! Thank you This Side Up!! You took the stress right out of my move!

Had a gang of good guys come over earlier today to move some things and it would be a lie to say this isn’t the best moving company I’ve ever used. Special thanks to Ethan, Kenneth, and Ty for the quick work and phenomenal job. They went above and beyond what was needed.
