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.
Apartment Moves in Milwaukee: Elevators, Parking and Building Rules
In an apartment move, the building decides more than the box count does. Milwaukee runs the full spread — downtown high-rises with freight elevators and loading docks, East Side walk-ups, Bay View duplexes — and each one writes its own rules for move day.
Elevators: reserve, pad, schedule
If your building has a service elevator, reserve it for your window and ask what they require — many want padding on the walls, and some want a certificate of insurance from your mover. Book the elevator for an hour longer than you think you need; a delayed delivery at the far end cascades fast.
Parking the truck
Dense blocks mean the truck can’t just appear. Downtown and the East Side: check loading zones and time limits, and tell your mover about them — the truck stands where the law lets it. On tighter residential blocks, a truck-length spot gets held with cars or cones before the crew arrives.
Walk-ups and narrow stairs
Milwaukee’s older housing stock is full of narrow stairways and odd doorways. Good movers measure the route before the day — a couch that doesn’t clear the turn is a problem you want to find out about on the phone, not on the landing.
Timing around lease turnover
Month-end and campus-season turnover stack every apartment move onto the same days. Move mid-month if you can; if your dates don’t line up, storage holds the household until the new place is ready. Milwaukee movers, packing help and storage all link into one plan — or send the form and we’ll build it with you.

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.
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.
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.
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.:)
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.
