Fridley is long and narrow, running north to south along the Mississippi River with I-694 cutting across the middle of it, and how we get to your address changes depending on which side of that line you are on. The crews who cover this city are the same established local movers who work the Roseville side of the metro, and the route matters here more than it does in a square-grid suburb.
Getting to Fridley and What That Means for Your Move
There are three realistic ways in, and each has a cost. University Avenue is the fastest most of the day and the slowest at rush hour. East River Road is quieter but winds, and it has residential stretches where a truck needs room to turn that it does not always have. Highway 65 serves the eastern side. Daymakers Moving & Storage picks the approach at the walkthrough rather than in the morning, because a wrong guess costs an hour.
Moving Work Around East River Road
The riverside streets hold some of the older housing in the city, and older housing means narrower stairs, tighter landings, and doorways that were not built with a modern sectional sofa in mind. We measure at the walkthrough. If something has to come apart to get out, we would rather know in advance and bring the tools than find out with the piece wedged at the turn.
What We Bring to Every Fridley Job
Furniture pads, dollies, strapping and floor protection as standard, plus whatever a specific item needs. Fridley has a real commercial side, with light industrial and office space along University Avenue and the East River Road corridor, and our commercial moving services are built around keeping a business shut for as short a time as possible. That usually means working a weekend or an overnight, planned around your operating hours rather than ours.
Why Local Customers Call Us
The reason we hear most often is that we do not quote over the phone. Every estimate follows a walkthrough, in person or by live video, and comes in writing. The second reason is that we own the trucks and employ the crews, so nothing about your job gets handed to a subcontractor between the quote and the date.
About Fridley
Fridley sits in Anoka County with the Mississippi River forming its western boundary and Columbia Heights, Spring Lake Park, and Brooklyn Center around the rest of it. Springbrook Nature Center occupies the northern end. The city carries a heavier industrial and corporate presence than most suburbs its size, which is why our work here splits more evenly between households and businesses than it does almost anywhere else in the north metro.
Where We Work From
We run offices in Roseville, Bloomington, Lake Elmo and New Brighton on the Minnesota side, along with Hudson and Eau Claire in Wisconsin. New Brighton is the closest of those to Fridley, which is part of why we cover this city as routine work rather than as an outlying job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you do our office move outside business hours?
Yes. Most of the commercial work we do here runs on a weekend or overnight, so the business opens as normal on Monday.
Our previous mover cancelled on us. How quickly can you come?
Call and ask about same-day availability. It depends on what is already on the schedule, but fitting people in after a cancellation is something we do regularly.
Do you take apart and reassemble furniture?
Yes, where a piece needs it to get through a door or down a staircase. Flag it at the walkthrough.
If you are moving a home or a business in Fridley, the walkthrough is where it starts. We will look at the access, the stairs, and the contents, then put a written number in front of you.
