Two-story homes and townhomes dominate the streets off McColl Drive, most of them built from the 1990s onward, and a good share sit on lots that fall away toward the river with a walkout level underneath. That layout changes a move. Stairs get used twice, furniture has to come out through a lower-level door that was never sized for a sectional, and the driveway above is often too steep to park a loaded truck on. Households here need the best moving professionals who work the route out before the first box is lifted, not after.
The Kinds of Properties We Work on in Savage
Daymakers Moving & Storage works across the newer subdivisions south of County Road 42, the townhome and villa developments closer to Highway 13, and the older homes near the Dan Patch corridor. Each one brings a different problem. Subdivision homes tend to have wide stairs and tight upstairs landings. Townhomes come with shared driveways, guest parking rules, and neighbors who need their access kept clear. The older stock closer to the river has narrower doorframes than anything built in the last twenty years.
Moving Challenges Specific to This Area
The grade is the thing people underestimate. A walkout home means two separate carry routes, and picking the wrong one adds hours. Winter makes it worse, because a sloped driveway that drains fine in June is a sheet of ice in January. We look at both routes during the walkthrough and decide which one the crew will use before the day arrives, so nobody is standing in the drive at 8am debating it.
Our Approach For Savage Customers
Every estimate follows an in-person or live video walkthrough. No quotes over the phone. That walkthrough is where the stair count, the door widths, and the truck position get settled, and it is why the number you agree to reflects the job that actually happens. The crew that turns up is made up of trained, W-2 employees. We do not use day labor, and we do not sell the job to another company, because we own our trucks and employ our crews directly.
Scheduling and Access Here
Townhome and villa associations around Savage often have rules about where a truck can sit and how long it can block a shared drive. Tell us during the walkthrough, and we will build the start time and staging around it.
About Savage
Savage sits in Scott County on the south bank of the Minnesota River, bordered by Burnsville to the east and Shakopee to the west. Highway 13 runs through the middle of it, and County Road 42 carries most of the east-west traffic, which is what shapes the timing on nearly every job we run here. The city grew quickly through the 1990s and 2000s, so the housing is newer and larger than much of the south metro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move a walkout basement in Savage without carrying everything up to the main floor?
Usually, yes. Where the grade and the door allow it, we run the lower level out through its own door and keep it off the main staircase entirely. We confirm which route works during the walkthrough.
Do you handle moves in and out of the townhome developments off County Road 42?
Yes. Shared driveways, guest parking limits, and association rules all get factored into the plan before the truck is booked.
If your move-out and move-in dates do not line up, we hold belongings in climate-controlled secure storage units at our Hudson, WI, facility, which runs humidity control, dust suppression, pest management, and round-the-clock security. Packing is available too, either for the whole house or just the kitchen and the fragile items, and our packing services use our own supplies so you are not chasing boxes the week before.
