New Brighton is one of those suburbs where the actual move itself is usually quick, but the preparation takes longer than people expect. Homes near Long Lake are situated on lots that may have seemed large in 1970, but feel much smaller when a moving truck arrives. Townhomes off I-694 share driveways, and apartments along Old Highway 8 have elevators that need to be reserved two weeks in advance. If you’re looking for a professional moving company in Roseville, MN, and the surrounding suburbs, we are the team that is already familiar with how those streets look on a Saturday morning with a 26-foot truck parked out front.
Getting a Quote That Doesn’t Change on You
We get calls all the time from people who got a number over the phone from some other company and then watched it climb on moving day. That’s not how we do things at Daymakers Moving & Storage. A moving specialist comes out to see the house, walks through every room, checks the furniture, the stairs, the driveway, and the stuff in the garage you forgot about.
Or we do it over live video if that works better for your schedule. Either way, you get a written estimate before you agree to anything. Long-distance jobs are flat-rate based on that walkthrough, so the number you see at delivery is the same one you agreed to upfront.
New Brighton Properties and the Logistics Around Them
The houses near Long Lake and Rice Creek tend to be older ranches and split-levels. Driveways are short. Garages are detached. Sometimes there’s a basement with a couch that went down there 15 years ago, and nobody’s thought about how it’s coming back up. We think about that during the walkthrough so the crew shows up ready. Over by I-694, the townhome developments are tighter.
Shared parking, narrow walkways between units, maybe a neighbor’s fence three feet from the front door. And the apartment buildings along the corridor have their own rules about freight elevators and loading docks. We coordinate that with building management before the crew arrives.
Daymakers Moving and Storage: Who We Are and Why It Matters
Sean Higgins started this company in 2015 after a move that went wrong in all the usual ways. Bad quote, careless crew, surprises on the invoice. He figured he could do it differently. Ten years later, that’s still the operating standard. Our crews are trained and background-checked. Our trucks belong to us.
We don’t farm jobs out to brokers or subcontractors, which happens in this industry more than most people realize. You can read the longer version on our Our Story page. We’re BBB Accredited, HomeAdvisor Top Rated, and a member of the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce.
What Else Comes Up on New Brighton Moves
Packing is the big one. People run out of time. The closing date moved up, the boxes aren’t done, and suddenly it’s three days out, and the kitchen hasn’t been touched. We do full packing, partial packing, or just the fragile stuff if that’s all you need. Senior moves come up a lot in this area too, usually coordinated by an adult son or daughter. Pianos and gun safes get their own equipment and their own plan.
And if move-out and move-in don’t line up, we have climate-controlled storage that holds humidity between 35 and 55 percent so your wood furniture doesn’t warp sitting in a unit over a Minnesota winter. Same-day moves are on the table for qualifying jobs if another mover fell through on you.
About New Brighton, MN
New Brighton is in northwest Ramsey County, bordered roughly by I-694 to the south and I-35W to the west. Silver Lake, Long Lake, and Rice Creek shape the residential pockets. The city sits next to Roseville, Arden Hills, Mounds View, and Shoreview. Old Highway 8 and County Road D are the main surface streets. Rush hour on I-694 gets thick, which is why we route around it when the timing allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the estimate process work?
We come see the house or do a live video walkthrough. A moving specialist looks at what’s going on, notes anything that needs special handling, and writes up a detailed estimate before you commit. No phone-only guesses.
Can you store our stuff if the new place isn’t ready?
Yes. Our storage facility in Hudson, WI is climate-controlled with humidity held between 35 and 55 percent. You can rent short-term or long-term, and access to your unit happens with a Daymakers team member present.
Do you handle moves out of state?
Yes. Interstate moves get priced flat-rate off the walkthrough, so the number on your estimate is the number at delivery.
If you’re planning a move out of New Brighton, get us out for a walkthrough first. You’ll have a real number and a real plan before you sign anything.
