How a David’s Moving Company Move Works

Four steps — from your first call to the last box set down in your new place across the Kansas City metro.

1

Get your flat written quote

Tell us your ZIPs, date and what’s moving. We work up a flat-rate written quote and send it back the same day.

2

Lock in your date

A $99 deposit holds the date and comes off your total. We confirm crew size and an arrival window so move day is set — including any building access notes and elevator or loading-dock reservations on the Plaza or in the Crossroads.

3

Our crew loads it

The same uniformed David’s Moving Company crew shows up on time, wraps and pads every piece, and loads our own truck — no strangers, no farmed-out job.

4

Settle into your new place

We drive every mile ourselves, carry it up to the second floor or down to the basement, reassemble the furniture and set it where you want it. The price stays exactly what we wrote down.

Kansas City Movers Who Own the Trucks & Train the Crews — Flat-Rate Pricing,
Careful Handling, Same Crew Start to Finish

From a century two-story in Brookside with a walk-up attic to a condo on the Country Club Plaza. A bungalow in Waldo to a new build out toward Lee’s Summit.

Professional Jackson County movers who pad and wrap your furniture like our own — with one flat written price that doesn’t budge on move day. Whether you’re shifting across Waldo, easing a sectional down to a basement rec room, working around a porch and no driveway, or hauling a family out to Liberty, the number we wrote down is the number you pay — no hourly meter and no surprise add-ons.

David Kessler — Owner of David’s Moving Company

David grew up around Brookside and Waldo and spent years on Kansas City moving crews before starting David’s Moving Company in 2012 with one truck and a simple promise: lock a flat written price, show up on time, and treat your furniture like our own. He still runs the company, hires every mover himself and trains the crew personally — so the crew at your door is ours, never day labor, never a farmed-out job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers before you book our Kansas City crew.

Are you a moving company?
Yes — David’s Moving Company is a fully licensed and insured local moving company based in Kansas City, MO. We load, drive and unload every job with our own trucks and our own uniformed crews, under US DOT/MC authority and Missouri household-goods operating authority registered with MoDOT Motor Carrier Services. No — we are not a broker or a matching service. We hire, train and run our own crews and trucks.
How much does a move cost?
Every move is a flat written price based on your home, access and what you’re moving — not an hourly meter. The number we put in writing is the number you pay, with no surprise add-ons on move day. A 2-mover crew and truck runs $129/hr if you’d rather go hourly.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Give us your ZIP codes, date and what you’re moving, and David puts together a free flat written price, back to you the same day. No obligation.
Do you require a deposit?
A $99 deposit holds your date and comes straight off your total. The balance is due on move day once the truck is unloaded and you’re settled.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — David’s Moving Company carries US DOT/MC authority and Missouri household-goods operating authority through MoDOT Motor Carrier Services, and we’re bonded and insured. Released-value coverage at $0.60/lb is included, with full-value protection optional.
What kinds of moves do you handle?
Local moves across Jackson County, apartment and condo moves, full-service packing, short-term storage, and long-distance moves from Kansas City, MO to anywhere in the country — all on our own dedicated trucks.
