Family-owned Des Moines movers. No brokers. No bait-and-switch.
We are a small Des Moines moving company built on one simple idea: the crew that quotes your move should be the crew that loads your truck. Every move documented. Every quote honest. Every customer treated like a neighbor — because most of them are.
Our story
Midwest Moving Pros was founded by Appel, a Des Moines local, after seeing too many neighbors get burned by the same playbook: a cheap online quote, a broker phone call, a no-show or a no-name crew on move day, and a bill that landed at double what was promised.
We have been moving Des Moines families and businesses for more than seven years. Local moves. Long-distance moves. Studio apartments. Five-bedroom houses. Office relocations. Pianos. We have done all of it — and we have done it with our own crew, in our own trucks, under our own name.
[EDIT: Add 2–3 sentences here about something specific to your story — what made you start the company, a moment that cemented how you wanted to operate differently, the kind of moves you take pride in. This is where the page goes from generic to yours.]
What makes us different
Four things we built the company around — and four things that most of our competitors will not put in writing.
No brokers ever
When you call us, you reach our office. When we quote you, our crew shows up. No middlemen, no lead-resellers, no mystery moving company appearing on your driveway.
Real numbers, not estimates
We walk you through every cost line by line. The number we quote is the number you pay — unless you add things on move day, and even then you’ll know before we charge.
Family-owned in Des Moines
We live here. We grew up here. Our trucks are based here. We are not a national chain renting a local 515 number — we are your actual neighbors.
We document our work
Photos, notes, real customer details (with permission). Every move on our recent moves page is a real job we did, not a stock photo bought online.
By the numbers
Real, verifiable, and on the record.
The crew
Small enough to know your name. Large enough to handle your move.
[EDIT: Replace this paragraph with a real intro to the team. Suggested format — “Our crew is [X] full-time movers led by Appel. Everyone on a Midwest Moving Pros truck is a vetted, background-checked employee — never a day laborer pulled off a job site.”]
[EDIT: Optionally add a sentence about training, equipment, or how long crew members have been with you. If you have a photo of the team, you can add it above this paragraph using a Kadence Image block above this Custom HTML.]
