Detroit Mover Reviews
The Helping Hands 4U crew were wonderful. They showed up on time and did a great job wrapping our furniture and loading our POD. I would recommend them and plan on using them again!
Scott and Brian were so GREAT!! They did a amazing job!!
Very polite young men.Very efficient and timely.They seemed to have a good attitude. Glad I used them!!!
Hard working and great attitude
Outstanding!!!! A very professional group that knows what they are doing.
Greg & Zay were top notch, very friendly, and knew what they were doing top to bottom. They went out of their way to communicate clearly, they collaborated together well, and even gave helpful suggestions on the best ways to unpack and settle into our space. I have never had a dynamic duo like them, and I will certainly be using Handy Relocations directly the next time!
Great to work with the moving associates. Prompt, prepared, energetic, respectful and yes I'd use them again.
They worked hard and were very respectful both to our items and to us. An small part was left in the truck and the gentleman drove to meet up with us to get it back to us. He went above and beyond.
Nice, polite, clean people to work with.
The team from Simply Superb Moving stepped in day-of after another mover cancelled on us. They were efficient, hardworking and careful with our items unloading a 20' ft U-Haul. They followed all instructions about where to place items when a specific room was requested. They helped us turn a job that would have taken hours alone into an hour and a half unloading job. We appreciated their work
Excellent communication as we were dealing with coming in from out of state and had a tight window of time to work with. They were so responsive and flexible. Would absolutely recommend, and use them again. Thank you!!
These 2 guys were awesome - I was still packing and they cleared my living room in 15 minutes! I couldn't keep up lol. I would highly recommend Affordable Movers again.

Real Advice from Detroit Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Detroit. (They’re really nice!)
"It's often a good idea to pack small loads and make multiple trips. Also be aware that there are no official loading zones around the dorms for move-out. All of the usual Ann Arbor parking regulations will be enforced."

Major Neighborhoods in Detroit
Detroit is Michigan’s most populated city and birthplace of the modern automobile — hence the nickname “Motor City”. But it's also home to Motown Records and a great live music scene. And it's one of only four US cities to host pro teams in all major sports: football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. So whether you spend your weekends going to games at Ford Field, exploring museums, or trying new restaurants, there's a Detroit neighborhood you'll love to call home.
Downtown Detroit
There is no shortage of iconic landmarks and attractions in Downtown Detroit. The skyscrapers of the Renaissance Center are the most eye-catching, but if you don't want to keep craning your neck up, check out the flowers, holiday lights, or artificial beach in Campus Martius. There's also the historic Greektown, which has been a culinary and cultural center in the city since the 1800s. Thinking of joining Downtown Detroit's community? Hiring professional movers who know the ins and outs of the neighborhood's unique layout is invaluable.
Midtown
The core of the city's arts and culture is undoubtedly Midtown. Previously known as "Cass Corridor" (and you'll still hear some locals call it that), it's home to the Detroit Cultural Center, a complex of museums and galleries. You'll also find Wayne State University's sprawling campus in the area and West Canfield Historic District's restored Queen Anne-style houses. However, consider hiring local professional movers if this area has you charmed enough to start planning a move. They're so familiar with the neighborhood, they'll save you time even through the festival and event crowds.
Corktown
Once home to Irish immigrants in the 1800s, Corktown's name pays homage to County Cork, Ireland. It's Detroit's oldest neighborhood, and has iconic landmarks like Michigan Central Station. Up and down the main thoroughfare Michigan Ave, you can find vintage shops, restaurants, and modern cafes like Bobcat Bonnie's (there's a mimosa bar!). Planning a move here can be a little intimidating, since navigating the narrow streets and limited parking options isn't easy. But hiring professional movers versed in Corktown's layout can ensure a hassle-free moving experience.
Woodbridge
Woodbridge is best known for its green spaces, proximity to other popular areas in the city, and Victorian-style homes. One is the Hunter House, a former bed and breakfast turned into a Historic Site. Another is the Trumbullplex, a housing collective with an art space and zine library open for public viewing. But if historic homes aren't your thing, you can try riding in the Woodbridge Bicycle Garden and look at the bicycle sculptures there instead. Our local movers can ensure your transition into the Woodbridge community is seamless and worry-free.

They were fast and respectful of my stuff. Scott is a master packer! He got my 10x30 foot storage unit packed into a 26 foot truck with room to spare! Highly recommended
Tavon & Cam did an excellent job in helping me move several large items from the dining room & living room to the pod on my driveway. They carefully wrapped all of my items with moving blankets and shrink wrap before moving the items and then secured the items with rope inside the pod. They were on time and very efficient. Thank you both for your help today!
They showed up on time & ready to work!! They were excellent about carefully bringing my items in, as not to damage them or my apartment. They were super fast & very polite.

I cannot convey how grateful I am for Brice and his crew! Fantastic, wonderfully professional, and took great care of making sure everything was packed appropriately.
