WOW & triple WOW! MyTee Movers is the BEST and we highly recommend. Communication - GREAT They were on time & started working immediately. No hesitation at the amount of stuff we had to move from 3 Storage Units into a single family home with 13 stairs to the basement. Watching them move items was a work of art especially when you see them carrying boxes (not just one) on their backs down stairs. The Team was a powerhouse of muscle & kindness. It was a pleasure and we can't say enough about their dedication to a job that requires so much manpower & strength. Recommend - 100% Cost of move - Excellent prices! Thank you so much for all you did for us. You were AWESOME!

Real Advice from Milwaukee Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Milwaukee. (They’re really nice!)

"When traveling with a larger sized rental truck, I recommend that you take the freeway as close to your move location as you can before driving through the city. Rush hour (9am and 5pm) can be particularly heavy in Milwaukee county so it may be easier for you to chose for your truck check out time to be an hour before those times if you are not comfortable driving a large truck in heavy traffic. Lastly, I recommend using Uhaul truck rentals because they are the most likely to be available at any given time."

"If moving downtown, it's easiest to TRY to block a space for your moving truck as near to your apartment complex as possible. Some apartments require you to reserve a time to block off elevators (if available) so call ahead to find out if this is necessary! "

Major Neighborhoods in Milwaukee

Known for its breweries and cheese, Milwaukee is stealthily one of the most beautiful cities in the country — when it's not snowing! Lake Park is maybe the best example of the area's natural beauty; it's situated alongside Lake Michigan and anchors many cute stores and beachfronts, complete with flashy kite flyers in the summer. Milwaukee is notably famous for festivals, including Summerfest, the largest music fest in the world! Miller Park and Fiserv Forum also host tons of Downtown sporting events year-round. If you plan on living here, know there's tons of traffic in the summer and lake-effect snow in the winter, so check with local movers who are experts at navigating the city any time of year.

Historic Third Ward

Historic Third Ward is largely home to a collection of studios, art galleries, and performing arts venues. If you need to stock up on some of that famous Wisconsin cheese, here is where the famous Milwaukee Public Market is located, and it's filled with some of the best produce in the state. And after doing some shopping, you could also catch a show at the famous Broadway Theater Center. Reviews of the local moving companies in Milwaukee show they're very successful with navigating this iconic area. (And once you’re all settled in, go relax at Henry W. Maier Festival Park, a 75-acre park that hosts a variety of special events!)

East Side

East Side Milwaukee is a fashionable, quirky part of the city ideal for the young at heart, located just north of Downtown. It's chock-full of bars, theaters, shops, and museums, the most iconic of which is the Oriental Theater, a beautiful theater built in 1927. Its residents will vouch for popular lunch spots like Beans and Barley, though you can visit Crossroads Collective to discover a variety of food vendors, bars, and boutique stores for yourself. East Side Milwaukee is made up of several different neighborhoods, so if you’re relocating here to attend the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, or for any other reason, check out our list of recommended Milwaukee moving services to find a professional familiar with every area.

Bay View

Nestled on the Lake Michigan shoreline, Bay View Milwaukee is known for its historic homes, quaint cafes, and fancy art galleries. So if you love the great outdoors, head over to Bay View Park, where you can enjoy a day of walking, bike riding, or even cross-country skiing during the winter. And if you love staying inside, be sure to pop by Acme Records & Music Emporium to purchase your favorite tunes on vinyl. (Protip: once your arrangements with the moving company are a go, head on over to Goodkind for some delicious seafood!)

Walker’s Point

One of the most eclectic neighborhoods in Milwaukee is Walker’s Point, well-known as the oldest town in Milwaukee, and it has a wide variety of historical architecture as proof! A lot of these old locations are now craft breweries, distilleries, and cool eateries, many of which are housed in industrial-looking buildings. Also worth checking out is the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower, a large, four-sided clock that sits atop the Rockwell Automation building. After you secure a professional moving company in Milwaukee, stop by the Great Lakes Distillery for a beverage to help you relax before the big move.

Wonderful movers! They were on time, professional, friendly, and extremely efficient. They were able to get our large mattress up a narrow stairwell with low clearance. They could have given up and said it wasn’t possible but they didn’t. They stuck with it until the mattress cleared. We were extremely happy with their service and would hire them again.

Three movers showed up from Promovers. They arrived early at my request and worked steadily to unload a 28-foot moving van in a timely manner. They were professional, efficient, and quick. I would have liked more communication during the process; for example, a walk-through of the house so they had an idea of the house's layout. Overall, they did a good job, and I would hire them again.
