Daymakers, the #1 Choice of
Reliable Moving Company in St. Paul, MN
The movers St. Paul, MN residents recommend get the same two things right. Belongings arrive undamaged, and the final bill matches the estimate. Daymakers Moving & Storage settles both before your moving day starts. Every job opens with an in-home or virtual walkthrough, so crew size, truck, and price are set against what you own rather than a guess over the phone. Founded in 2015 by Sean Higgins, our professional team has spent the last decade safely moving households and offices across Minnesota, from Saint Paul and Minneapolis to the edges of the Twin Cities.

Saint Paul Moving Services for Every Size of Job
The list above is what we move. This is how much of it you hand over. Our Saint Paul moving services come in tiers, so you pay for the labor the job needs. Pricing a three-bedroom house like a studio helps nobody.
Full-Service Moving
We handle the whole process. The team packs, disassembles, loads the moving truck, drives, then handles unloading and reassembly. You point at rooms, we do the rest. Most Saint Paul households pick this tier.
Loading and Unloading Only
Booked your own moving truck or a portable container? Our St. Paul movers bring the muscle and the technique.
Packing and Supplies
Packing is the part most people underestimate. Our packing process brings recycled cartons, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, paper, and tape, so you never have to source your own supplies. Packing services cover a whole St. Paul house or just the fragile pieces you would rather not wrap yourself, and our moving and packing guide covers the rest.
Business and Office Relocations
Our commercial moving services run on your schedule, evenings and weekends included, so a Saint Paul or Minneapolis business loses as little billable time as possible. Workstations, conference furniture, server racks, and files move under an inventory system that tracks what landed where.
What Movers in St. Paul Cost
Local moves in Saint Paul and the Twin Cities are billed by the hour. The clock starts when the crew arrives and stops when the last item is placed, and the rate covers crew and truck together. A larger crew costs more per hour and usually finishes sooner, which is why we size it after seeing the home, not over the phone.
Typical local move durations run like this.
- Studio or one bedroom: 2 to 4 hours
- Two-bedroom apartment or small house: 4 to 6 hours
- Three-bedroom house: 5 to 8 hours
- Four bedrooms or more: 7 hours and up
Before booking any mover, ask what triggers an extra charge. Stair fees, long carry fees when the truck cannot park close, elevator wait time, and fuel are the usual four, and a reputable Minnesota company discloses them all up front. Specialty pieces move the number too. Pianos, gun safes, heavy safes, and heavy furniture need equipment and a plan rather than more bodies, so flag them during your Saint Paul walkthrough.
For long distance the pricing switches to shipment weight and mileage. Ask whether the estimate is binding or non-binding, in writing. A binding estimate holds regardless of what the scale says.

Local Moves Handled With Care by Professional Movers
Our team is the master of local moving in St. Paul. We may look strong and mighty like your favorite superhero, but we are delicate and gentle with your items. Before you know it, your items and boxes will be on a Daymakers moving truck and headed to your new property in St. Paul and surrounding suburbs like Maplewood, Mendota Heights, or Roseville.
Most local moves in St. Paul finish inside a single day. The variable is rarely distance, it is access. Our professional movers walk both addresses during the estimate and plan for what the day demands, whether that is a third-floor walk-up in Merriam Park, a shared alley behind a Payne-Phalen duplex, or a downtown freight elevator booked to set hours.
Winter brings its own list. Our professional crews lay floor protection at both ends and build in time when a January driveway needs clearing before a moving truck can back up. As local movers working in Minnesota year-round, we would rather plan for that than discover it at 8 a.m. on moving day.
Moving Between Saint Paul Neighborhoods
Saint Paul was laid out long before anyone designed a street for a 26-foot box truck. Knowing the Saint Paul neighborhoods is a practical skill on moving day, not local color.
Truck access is the first thing we check. Around Summit Hill and Cathedral Hill, the Victorian and Queen Anne homes near Summit Avenue bring narrow staircases, tight landings, and boulevard trees that limit how close a moving truck can park, so truck access gets settled at the walkthrough. Macalester-Groveland and Merriam Park hold the same housing stock on smaller lots, often with one driveway shared by two houses.
Highland Park and the West Side sit on the bluffs above the Mississippi River, where steep approaches decide where we stage the truck and how long the carry runs. A Highland Park bungalow and a Lowertown loft are opposite problems. Downtown, the building controls the loading dock, the freight elevator, and the hours you may use them, so we reserve those before scheduling a crew. Moves crossing the Mississippi River depend on the bridge route too.
Farther out in Como, Hamline-Midway, St. Anthony Park, North End, Dayton’s Bluff, and Battle Creek, alley access and winter parking rules decide most of it.
We move to and from the suburbs just as often. Our St. Paul movers work throughout Ramsey County in Maplewood, Roseville, Falcon Heights, Little Canada, and Arden Hills, into Dakota County for Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, South St. Paul, and Eagan, and east into Washington County for Oakdale, Woodbury, Stillwater, and Lake Elmo. Moves between St. Paul and Minneapolis are routine work for us, as are relocations across the rest of the Twin Cities.
Long-Distance Moving Company
Daymakers moves households out of Minnesota to anywhere in the continental U.S. on our own trucks, each driven by an expert team member who goes directly from your old property to your new one. Your shipment travels on a private truck rather than consolidated with another customer, and our long-distance moving services include storage in transit if a closing date slips. More sits on our Saint Paul long-distance moving page.
No Dust. No Damage.
Safe and Secure Storage
Daymakers is a trusted and reliable choice for moving services, but our storage services are also out of this world. Our storage solutions are climate-controlled, keeping your items free of mold, dust, warp, and damage. Our space is ideal for keeping important items safe, thanks to modern humidity controls, dust suppression, pest control, and security systems.
We offer flexible timelines for our storage units, backed by 24/7 surveillance. We understand that sometimes, life is unable to follow contract terms, so choose from long-term or short-term options.
Storage solves the gap most St. Paul moves run into, a closing date and a move-out date that refuse to line up. Rather than paying for a rental unit and two rounds of heavy lifting, your belongings go into our facility on one trip and out on another. Minnesota humidity swings hard between July and January, and controlling it is what the facility is built for.
Common Questions From St. Paul Movers Customers
Do you provide boxes and packing materials?
Yes. Our crews bring recycled cartons, tape, paper, and padding on every packing job, so you never need to source your own supplies. Materials can arrive ahead of the crew.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for a local move. Demand in the east Twin Cities metro peaks from May through August, and end-of-month dates fill fast all year, so book 4 to 8 weeks out in that window.
How do I choose the best moving company in Saint Paul?
Ask for the USDOT number and check it. Ask whether the company is a carrier or a broker, and whether the estimate follows a walkthrough. Any Saint Paul moving company worth hiring answers all three without hesitating.
