Our amazing customer Paula recently had this to say about our moving labor service. "The team that moved us was awesome! They were very professional but also friendly and moved our items efficiently. I was so impressed with how they were able to move even our bulkiest of items with ease, and they took care and were responsible with everything. I wish I remembered their names because they were fantastic and I would love to request them again! Thank you!"
Thank you Paula for your kind words.
Pam M. who recently used our moving labor service had this to say: "I was very happy with these guys. They were so nice and worked fast along with taking care of my fragile items They went above and beyond what I expected.

We frequently get asked the question: "How far in advance should I book my movers?"
We understand everyone's situation is different, but if at all possible please call to book your move 3-4 weeks in advance if possible if you have a specific date and time that you need.
If you have some flexibility on move date and time 2 weeks notice may be sufficient. However due to customer reschedules/cancellations we do frequently have some availability with less than 2 weeks of notice depending on the job size and location.
*Moving Fact*
The average weight of transported household possessions is 6,500 pounds. Americans sure know how (to not) travel light!
*Deciding to move is challenging but exciting. It comes with the promise of new challenges and adventures that will change your life.
Moving is also easier when you have help. If you’re looking for a professional mover, contact us @515-975-2840 today for more information.
Brian S. who recently used our moving labor service had this to say: Staff was professional and worked continuously until the job was complete. The movers were fast but also very careful. Great overall experience.
Moving Tip: Find free moving boxes at recycling drop-off points
-Don’t fork over your hard-earned money for cardboard boxes. Instead, look for free moving boxes at your local recycling drop-off points. Chances are, you’ll be able to find plenty of cardboard boxes that have been tossed by neighbors. Other places to find free moving boxes include Craigslist, book stores, liquor stores, offices and U-Haul Box Exchange
Moving Fact: According to surveys from the U.S. Census Bureau 42.2% of people make a move for house-related reasons, 27.4% of people move for personal reasons, and 20.2% move for employment-related reasons.
Thanks Griffin W. for the positive feedback on your recent move with us: The movers showed up on time and made quick work of loading our 26' truck. They were careful with our belongings and very communicative throughout the whole process.
We had an overnight move (load one day, unload the next), so hiring Iowa Moving 1 provided the flexibility we needed, and we ended up spending about half overall on our move compared to hiring a full service team with a truck.
Moving Tip: A crucial packing tip is making sure you don’t move anything that you no longer need. Lighten your stress and workload by decluttering before you enter the packing stage, which means figuring out what to toss, keep, sell, or donate. Take measurements of your new home and get rid of any furniture that won’t fit or you know you won’t use.
Moving Fact: People in the Northeast part of the US move the least, while those in the West move the most.
Thanks Corrisa T. for the positive feedback on your recent move with us: They were very professional and extremely pleasant and personable. They did the job quickly and took great care with our items.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite part about using moving services?
Our amazing customer Amanda B recently had this to say about our moving labor service: "The guys were amazing! We didn’t think everything would fit in the truck but they were master Tetris players and fit everything in. They stopped and used tie downs periodically as we requested. It was also negative 2 degrees outside and the guys didn’t complain once. Just kept moving even when we asked them to take a break in a warm car."

Our amazing customer Carol G. recently had this to say about our moving labor service: "I believe that this business will do very well, once more people start hearing about them. They fill a missing niche. Many people need help moving things within their home, or have a few large or heavy items to move, but don’t have friends or family who can help. It empowered me to know I could get the help I needed, easily and affordably, and without having appeal to a family member to make time, and then wonder when it was going to happen. I just called, made the appointment and it was done. No headaches! Whether a large or small move, it was on my schedule!"
