Moving Mountains provides movers in Peoria, IL, for house, apartment, and office moves, plus packing and storage. We started here in 2022 and now serve the city from our office on Washington Square in Washington. Every estimate is free. ILCC 236971 · Fully insured · BBB accredited
The West Bluff Historic District, bounded roughly by Randolph, High, and Moss streets, has homes dating to the 1800s, especially along Moss Avenue. The Uplands has many craftsman and foursquare homes. Older houses like these often have staircases and doorways that were not built for today’s larger furniture, so getting pieces in and out takes planning.
Bradley University sits at the center of the West Bluff, and student demand keeps many nearby homes in the rental market. Apartment and rental moves there come down to access: the stairwell, the entrance, and how close the truck can park.
North Peoria is different. Its subdivisions are mostly multi-bedroom single-family homes built in recent decades, so the main factor is volume: more rooms, more boxes, and a fuller truck.
Handling, Equipment, and Storage Between Homes
Our movers handle everything from fragile glassware to heavy furniture, including appliances and pianos. We bring the truck, dollies, and straps, so you don’t have to rent anything.
If your closing falls after you have to leave your old home, our short-term storage holds your belongings until you can move in.
What Shapes the Cost of Your Move in Peoria
We keep pricing as simple as we can. Local moves are billed by the hour, and long-distance moves are priced by weight. A full local house move generally runs from $500 to $5,000 or more, depending on factors such as these:
Home size: more rooms usually mean more movers and more hours.
Trucks needed: larger homes can need more than one truck.
Access: stairs, elevators, and a long walk to the truck can add time.
Extra services: packing, furniture assembly, and storage add to the cost.
Our goal is an accurate price we can stand behind. We do not lowball to win the bid, and there are no hidden fees. Call for a free, formal estimate.
Moving Mountains began in Peoria to give the area a local, communicative, and trustworthy moving company. Today, we have offices in Washington and Bloomington.
We hold an Illinois Commerce Commission license (ILCC 236971), are fully insured, and are accredited by the Better Business Bureau. Ask us for proof of license and insurance before you book, as you should with any mover.

The team at moving mountains were courteous, careful, and prompt. I recommend the Moving Mountains team for any moving you have to do. Reasonably priced as well especially for the service you are provided and the care they take for your property.

I recently had my business moved, and I was blow away with the professionalism they offered. Not only did they beat the price of Two Men and a Truck by $1500, but they had a quote to me the same day! The crew had all my belongings neatly organized and had plenty of people on staff to make the job efficient. Great company and I will be using for my next move!

Camdyn and Mason did an amazing job moving my belongings across the country. Personal serving and amazing speed. They literally unloaded my belongings the day after I arrived. No 10 day wait like the big movers. If you want personalized, professional movers go with Moving Mountains.

Peoria Neighborhoods and Nearby Towns We Serve
We move homes and businesses across the city, from the West Bluff and The Uplands to the East Bluff, downtown, and the North Peoria subdivisions.
What should I tell you about an older home on the West Bluff?
Mention the number of floors, any narrow or turning staircases, and your largest pieces of furniture when you request your estimate. Those details affect how many movers the job needs and how long it takes, which helps keep your estimate accurate.
Can you handle a move between Peoria and Bloomington-Normal?
Yes. We have an office in Bloomington, and both Bloomington and Normal are in our service area. Request an estimate, and we will explain how your move is priced before you book.
How far ahead should I book movers in Peoria?
Two weeks or more. That gives you and our team proper prep time, and we recommend allowing as much lead time as you can.
Can I request an estimate online?
Yes. You can request a free quote on our website or call (309) 274-0694 during office hours: 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturday.

Both. Along with the move itself, we handle packing and unpacking, fragile items, appliances, large items, and furniture assembly. Tell us which parts of the job you want help with when you request your estimate.
