Twin Cities Moving & Storage Services
From local apartment and house relocations to heavy pianos, safes, emergency moves, and secure storage, First Priority Movers delivers dependable care across Minneapolis and Minnesota.
Core Moving & Transportation Services
Our foundational full-service relocations for homes, apartments, commercial offices, and hourly labor across the Twin Cities.
Local Moving
First Priority Movers provides dependable, careful, and affordable local moving services throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities metro. As a family-owned mover operating since 2019 from our South Minneapolis base at 3704 E 55th Street, we know how to navigate Minneapolis neighborhoods—from historic brownstones with steep stairwells to modern high-rises with strict loading dock reservations. We never cut corners, even when it's expensive: every local move includes clean quilted pads, floor and carpet protection, and dedicated background-checked crews.
Long-Distance Moving
Relocating across Minnesota or embarking on an interstate move requires strict logistical planning, guaranteed pickup and delivery windows, and secure cargo protection. Unlike large van line conglomerates that pass your furniture through third-party freight terminals and multiple handling crews, First Priority Movers provides dedicated in-state and long-distance moving solutions. The same reliable crew that carefully wraps your furniture in the Twin Cities delivers and unloads it at your new home in Rochester, Duluth, Brainerd, St. Cloud, or across state lines.
Residential Moving
Moving your family home or apartment shouldn't feel like a high-stress trial. At First Priority Movers, we treat your personal belongings and property with the respect they deserve. Whether you are transitioning out of a multi-story home in Maple Grove or Plymouth, moving into a historic craftsman in South Minneapolis, or settling into a condo in St. Louis Park, our residential moving services take care of every physical detail—from disassembling heavy beds to padding door jambs and keeping dirt off your carpets.
Commercial Moving
Relocating an office or commercial facility requires operational precision, weekend and after-hours scheduling, and strict protection for sensitive IT gear and office furniture. First Priority Movers serves businesses throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, and the greater Twin Cities corporate corridors. We minimize business interruption by planning every phase of your commercial move—from disassembling cubicles and conference tables to rolling computer bins and file cabinets directly to your new office space.
Packing & Unpacking
Packing an entire household is often the most time-consuming and physically draining part of moving. First Priority Movers provides comprehensive packing and unpacking services designed to give you complete peace of mind. Whether you need your entire 4-bedroom house boxed from attic to basement or simply want experienced professionals to handle fragile kitchen china, crystal glassware, artwork, and collectibles, our trained team uses premium double-walled cartons, unprinted newsprint, bubble wrap, and cell dividers.
Moving Labor
Renting a U-Haul, Penske truck, PODS container, or ABF freight trailer, but need strong, professional moving labor to handle the heavy lifting? First Priority Movers provides hourly labor-only moving crews throughout Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. You supply the container or truck, and our background-checked movers bring the dollies, straps, tools, and expertise needed to load tight, space-efficient tiers that stay secure on the highway—or quickly unload into your new apartment or home.
Emergency, Same-Day & Weather-Ready Services
When another mover cancels, your lease expires tomorrow, or sub-zero Minnesota blizzards hit, we are prepared to mobilize immediately.
Emergency Moving
Did your scheduled moving company cancel at the last minute? Has an emergency lease expiration, closing date change, or sudden storm forced you to relocate immediately? First Priority Movers is the Twin Cities' trusted last-minute moving rescue service. We specialize in rapid-response scheduling, often deploying fully equipped crews within hours or guaranteeing next-morning arrival. When other movers flake, we step up and save the day with professional care, transparent pricing, and zero price gouging.
Same-Day Moving
When you need to move today or tomorrow, you don't have time to wait for a 48-hour email inquiry process. First Priority Movers offers rapid same-day and next-day moving services across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs. Our flexible dispatch system and experienced moving crews enable us to step in quickly for apartment leases, urgent home closings, fast furniture pickups, and sudden relocations with professional care and transparent pricing.
Winter Moving
Moving during a Minnesota winter requires specialized equipment, cold-weather protocols, and experienced local movers who know how to handle ice, snow drifts, and freezing temperatures safely. Moving in January or February in the Twin Cities isn't just about bundling up—it's about protecting fine wood veneers from thermal shock, preventing salt and slush from ruining hardwood floors, and keeping walkways slip-free. First Priority Movers operates throughout winter with ice-safe footing, heavy rubber runners, and sealed truck cargo bays.
Heavy-Item Moving
Moving exceptionally heavy or awkwardly shaped items—such as upright pianos, 700-pound gun safes, commercial treadmills, and solid marble vanities—requires specialized rigging, mechanical dollies, and athletic moving expertise. Trying to move these items with general labor or friends risks life-altering spinal injuries and catastrophic damage to stairwells and flooring. First Priority Movers specializes in moving the heaviest residential and commercial items down tight Minneapolis staircases with zero blemishes.
Specialty Moving, Storage & Haul-Away
Patient senior downsizing to co-ops, safe storage between closing dates, furniture assembly, and estate cleanouts.
Senior Moving
Moving out of a long-term family home of 30, 40, or 50 years into a senior cooperative, assisted living community, or smaller condominium is an emotional and profound transition. Seniors and their families require more than just muscle; they need patience, gentle communication, and meticulous care. First Priority Movers specializes in senior relocations across the Twin Cities, helping retirees downsize with dignity, respect, and zero rushing.
Moving Storage
Need a secure place to store your furniture and household goods for a few days, weeks, or months between your move-out and closing dates? First Priority Movers offers safe, flexible moving-related storage solutions across Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. Instead of renting a separate truck, driving to a self-storage facility, unloading, and having to repeat the process when your new home is ready, our movers load your goods, place them into clean storage vaults, and redeliver directly when you get your keys.
Junk Removal
Moving is the ultimate opportunity to declutter. Why pay to move worn-out sectionals, broken appliances, outdated particle-board desks, and garage junk you no longer want? First Priority Movers offers integrated junk removal and furniture haul-away alongside our moving services. With one crew and one call, we move what you love to your new home and haul away the rest for donation or eco-friendly recycling.
Furniture Assembly
Modern residential and office furniture—including king-size storage beds, executive desks, dining tables, modular sectionals, and children's bunk beds—cannot be moved in one piece through standard stairwells and doorways. First Priority Movers provides professional furniture disassembly and reassembly services. Our movers arrive with professional power drills, hex sets, and hardware baggies to safely dismantle large pieces, protect the fasteners, and rebuild everything securely in your new home.
Delivery & Estate Pickup
Won an antique sideboard at a local online auction, bought a heavy armoire on Facebook Marketplace, or purchased showroom furniture that won't fit into your SUV? First Priority Movers provides dedicated delivery and auction pickup services throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding metro area. We coordinate directly with auction houses, estate sellers, and retail outlets to inspect, pad, transport, and place your purchase into your home with white-glove care.
