The crew from Friends moving & delivery who came to our house had to travel 1 1/2 hours to get there to unload a U-Haul after our move. They were on time, friendly, professional, and started working immediately. It was supposed to be a 2 hr job, but they finished in less time because they worked so quickly and were focused on getting the truck unloaded. They handled all boxes, crates and furniture with care. I would highly recommend this company and I will definitely use them if I move again!

Full-Service Moving Companies

Full-service moving means you don't have to lift a finger during the move. While this option requires a higher budget, it also requires the least effort. You can skip the truck rental with one of our vetted full-service moving companies to ensure your move is as stress-free as possible. And, if you opt for additional packing and unpacking services, your move will be fully hands-off.

Benefits of full-service moving include:

  • Stress-free
  • All-inclusive
  • Convenient

Labor-Only Moving Services

If you need to stick to a budget but still want a little help during the move, book labor-only movers to load and unload your truck or storage container for you. You'll still need to handle the packing, truck rental, and transportation, but you won't be short of hands on the day of the move. Plus, you can tailor the hourly service to your needs and budget.

Benefits of labor-only moving include:

  • Affordable option
  • Flexible
  • Hourly pricing

Other Moving Services

Beyond traditional moving services, you can find moving companies that offer customizable add-ons to suit your household's needs. Want a mover to pack up your stuff securely or assemble furniture at your new home? Need help with specialty or fragile items? We'll help youl find movers who do this and more.

Major Neighborhoods in Kansas City

Kansas City is a unique metro that straddles the border of two states. Here on the Missouri side, you'll find a wonderful art scene, great sports, and that famous KC BBQ. Speaking of the last item on that list, locals will say you can't go wrong with a meal at Q39. If you're more of an art aficionado, then you'll be spending more time at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, which houses close to 40,000 works. Of course, devoted fans of the local teams can’t miss out on catching a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium. But before you move here, look for professional moving companies who know the area. They'll absolutely get you to the correct side of the state border!

Plaza/Westport

Whatever you have the most fun doing, there's something for you to love in the eclectic Westport neighborhood. Residents particularly enjoy Westport Wednesdays, which take place on the last Wednesday of each month, offering an ever-changing variety of fun events, delicious local food, and more. Those who like the outdoors will appreciate the nearby Roanoke Park and its hiking trails encircled by photo-worthy bluffs. Many people consider Westport the “original” Kansas City, and you can visit historic homes like the Thomas Hart Benton Home that gives tours of the gardens and the painter’s legendary studio. And when the time comes, settling into this community is easy — just hire local movers who will help make your relocation a breeze.

Brookside

Brookside is Kansas City’s first suburban shopping area and continues to serve residents and visitors today. It features nearly 100 local businesses with a focus on friendly customer service. You can grab a meal at popular spots like Brookside Barrio or Bella Napoli, which has its own on-site Italian deli/market. If you like things fresh and locally produced food, then you can do some of your weekly shopping at at the Brookside Farmer’s Market. One of the most popular neighborhood events is Art Annual, featuring artworks and handmade products, food booths, and entertainment. Brookside has several nooks and dead-end streets, so before starting your move, check out our list of local movers to find a pro familiar with the area.

Waldo

Waldo started as the farm of one Dr. David Waldo in the 1800s. Nowadays it's a residential and business district with some great walkability, green areas, and activities. You can take advantage of that ability to stretch your legs in the area by exploring the Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail with 6.8 miles of paths. After all that exercise, grab a treat at Betty Rae’s Ice Cream or get lunch at the popular Burger State. Locals also love the Waldo Fall Festival, an annual celebration of the autumn season with food, vendors, and live entertainment. If you're already making plans to join the Waldo community, then check out our list of local movers who will ensure your move is stress-free.

River Market

If you're a foodie or love window shopping, then River Market is your neighborhood dream. Local eateries include tasty bakeries like Bloom Baking Co., or for those who can't make it to a Chief's game in person, there's the sports bar Block 15. And don’t forget to check out City Market, the largest farmer’s market in the region. The nearby Arabia Steamboat Museum showcases relics from a salvaged ship that sunk in the Missouri River in the mid-19th century. The wide paths of Berkley Riverfront Park are perfect for biking, walking, or just enjoying the waterfront views. Sounds like the perfect fit? Then check out our list of local movers to find a professional team to help take care of the logistics for you.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Kansas City

Learn everything you need to know about moving in Kansas City. Whether you're planning a full-service move or just need help with loading and unloading, HireAHelper is here to answer your questions. Still curious? Check out our blog for helpful tips, detailed moving guides, and plenty of resources to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Q: What should I look for when choosing movers in Kansas City?

First, decide if you want full-service moving or labor-only movers. Then, narrow your search to moving companies that cater to your preferences. Finally, consider customer reviews, availability, and budget to find the right fit. HireAHelper will match you with moving companies that meet your needs, but the final decision is ultimately up to you.

Q: What is the cheapest way to move to Kansas City?

Try labor-only moving services if you want to minimize the burden of moving and keep costs low. You can also reduce costs by being smart about the timing of your move. Book the cheapest time of day (4 PM - 5 PM), the cheapest day of the week (Tuesday), and the cheapest month (October) to minimize your moving costs.

Q: How much should I tip movers in Kansas City?

While you don't have to tip movers, a 10-20% tip is standard if you wish to thank your movers for a job well done.

Q: What happens if bad weather disrupts my move?

Your movers are professionals and will be prepared to work through most bad weather situations, like light rain or wind. However, if your service provider determines that the weather is potentially dangerous, you will need to postpone your move. Luckily, HireAHelper has flexible policies for these situations, so you don't have to worry about being overcharged or left in the lurch without movers.

Q: What's included in a full-service move?

Full-service moving solutions include a moving truck, the loading and unloading of your belongings, and transporting them to your new home. You can also add on packing and unpacking services. While full-service moving is the most expensive option, it's also the most comprehensive. HireAHelper's thorough moving company network allows you to easily compare prices and reviews, helping you find the best service provider for the job.
