LOCAL MOVERS
Metcalf Moving & Storage opened in 1919 as a local mover in Minneapolis & St. Paul, and is one of the most experienced professional local movers in the Twin Cities and Rochester areas. We handle all household moves, from a small apartment to a large estate, we have the staff, equipment, and experience to help.
We’ll provide as much or as little manpower as you need to get the job done safely and efficiently. Whether you need help with packing, moving, or both, we are here to help. We can also provide storage when a direct move is not possible.
Local moves are generally charged on an hourly basis or as a flat price. We are always happy to provide you with a free in-home estimate. We believe an in-home estimate is the best way to get an accurate idea of cost. It is best for our customer and for our crews – nobody wants unexpected surprises on move day! Our estimators will view the items to be moved, discuss any other services you may require, and provide you with a written cost estimate.
When choosing a local moving company, be sure to check their credentials. Where is their office? How long have they been in business? You can check our certifications.

LONG DISTANCE
MOVERS
LONG DISTANCE MOVERS
As an agent for Mayflower Transit, Metcalf Moving & Storage can help you with your long distance home move to anywhere in the United States, and beyond. We have been moving families to and from Minnesota for almost a century.
For long distance home moves, from a small apartment to a large estate, we can simply provide transportation, loading, and unloading service, or we can do all the packing for you, too. Some of the long-distance moving services we can provide are:
- Loading, unloading, and transportation service
- Flat, easy-to-understand pricing.
- Packing and crating
- Secure storage
- Special servicing of items such as appliances, exercise equipment, and home electronics
- Professional move coordination
- Full replacement coverage
- Shipment tracking
- Certain-day pick up and delivery
- A personalized mobile website so you can keep your move organized from start to finish.
Interstate (state to state) moves are usually charged based on the weight of your shipment, plus any additional services you request. The only way to know your true moving cost is to have an estimator visit your home or apartment. They will perform a full survey of the items to be moved, discuss any other services you may require, and provide you with a detailed written cost estimate. Internet quotes are too inaccurate.
When choosing a long-distance mover, be sure to check their credentials. Do they have a local office? How long have they been in business? Are they licensed with the FMCSA to perform household goods move? Remember that no moving company should require a deposit to secure your move date.
Want to save more money?
Be sure to ask us about CityPointe, a free program through which you can get referrals to real estate agents and cash back on your interstate move with us.
