What shapes a Milwaukee move

Milwaukee is Wisconsin's largest city, with dense neighborhoods, a lakefront, and miles of older housing stock. Street parking, tight blocks, and winter weather all shape the day.

01

Dense blocks

Many Milwaukee blocks are dense with apartments and narrow parking. Reserve a truck-length spot and keep the path from the door clear.

02

Winter weather

Milwaukee winters bring snow, ice, and lake-effect conditions. Keep driveways and walkways cleared for a safe path to the truck.

03

Older housing

Dense neighborhoods feature older homes and apartments with narrow stairs and tight layouts. Measure the route and protect floors during the carry.

04

Lakefront traffic

Routes along the lake and downtown corridors carry steady traffic. Plan loading off-peak and keep the truck close to the building.

Common local moves

Typical Milwaukee move scenarios

Milwaukee moves center on apartments, older homes, and relocations across the metro. Each pattern has its own access story.

Apartment

Apartment move

Apartment moves need elevator reservations and clear parking. Confirm both buildings' rules and keep the hallway clear on move day.

Household

Older home move

Older homes add narrow stairs and tight doorways to the plan. Measure the route and pack room by room for a steady load-out.

Winter

Cold-season move

Winter moves need cleared walkways and a dry path to the truck. Confirm snow removal ahead of time and keep electronics protected from the cold.

From my initial contact with the coordinator to my move with the crew, I had a great experience. This was my first interstate move by myself (from one state to another) and Scherer Moving & Storage made it easy. They were considerate, polite, careful with my belongings. I would highly recommend Scherer Moving & Storage for your moving needs.

Rowan Davis4.0 / 5

We had a great experience with Scherer Moving & Storage. The crew were courteous, friendly, worked quickly and expertly, and were extremely careful with our belongings. These are real professionals, and they made every effort to make sure that our move was a success in all ways. I would strongly recommend Scherer Moving & Storage to anyone looking for help with their move. They are truly outstanding.

Morgan Cole5.0 / 5

Scherer Moving & Storage were contracted by a furniture retailer to deliver my mattress. The mattress was a king size almost 500lbs beast that needed to be taken down to the basement. The two guys were prompt, quick, and friendly. They were able to squeeze it through a tighter stairwell with no damage. Great guys, super appreciative of their work.

Skyler Nash5.0 / 5

For the most part the move was conducted professionally, quickly and efficiently. My only issue was the improper packing of two bags which I had set aside from the material to be moved as they were to be my luggage for both the next week and an upcoming trip. Despite being requested they did not find where those bags had been packed on the truck not contacted me later to let me know if my luggage had been found. For this reason, I am giving them a 4 star instead of 5 star review.

Dakota Jordan4.0 / 5

The guys were very fast, professional, and friendly. They did a great job. They were very positive the whole time even though it was a Sunday and was raining. I would definitely recommend Scherer Moving & Storage.:)

Sam Turner5.0 / 5

They didn't come when promised, twice. Sent two guys and a small woman to move a 300 pound filing cabinet up 4 stairs into the house. They didn't bring a truck to haul off items for trash as promised, then called more guys who brought a full truck, then smashed the furniture for removal all over my driveway and left shards of wood and screws all over the driveway. If I hadn't noticed and swept I'd likely gotten a flat tire. Only upside is they were polite and got the job done once they finally came. Update: The owner offered me my money back as an apology for his staff's behavior so I'm adding a star.
