Your Des Moines move,
booked in minutes

Moving in Des Moines starts when you book through Marco. From there, your move gets matched with a local crew, and the team handles coordination, paperwork, and updates around details like tight loading access and major corridor traffic. The matched crew does the lifting and transport while everything else flows through the team.

Local, apartment, office, furniture, same-day, and long-distance moves are all available through Marco in Des Moines. After you book, your move gets matched with a local crew based on your building, timing, and inventory, and the team handles coordination and updates around details like tight loading access and major corridor traffic. What fits your situation depends on the building, timing, and items, and the matched crew handles the physical work.

Booking 3-4 weeks ahead is the sweet spot for securing your preferred date. That gives you enough time to organize your boxes, handle downtown meter bagging if needed, and confirm elevator times with your building manager.

Residential moving permits are generally not required for most neighborhoods. If you are moving into a downtown loft or an area with metered parking, bagging a meter is highly recommended. The team can help coordinate those parking details with the matched crew before move day.

Summer brings high humidity and thunderstorms, while winter can mean heavy snow and ice. Aiming for a move window between 9am and 3pm helps avoid the worst of the weather and skips the heavy rush hour traffic along the I-235 corridor.

Urgent moves in Des Moines often work out when the timing fits. Share your inventory, your building's access rules, and the window you need to be done by, and the team works on pairing you with a local crew. Reaching out early in the day usually improves the odds.

Pianos and other specialty pieces come down to having the right crew and gear available. Tell the team early about the item, including weight, dimensions, stairs, tight corners, or anything tricky. Sharing photos of the access points helps match your move with a partner crew set up for heavy or fragile pieces.

Commercial moves involve different equipment and timing than a standard house move. You will want to share details about your office desks, tech setups, and building access hours early on. The team then matches your business requirements with a crew equipped for commercial jobs.
