Working in Des Moines

Snow and ice on loading docks, ramps and sidewalks slow every move and raise the risk of damage to furniture and equipment. Ask how floors, elevators and electronics will be protected from cold and slush, and keep a weather backup date for winter moves.

Des Moines is the largest insurance employment centre in the US after Hartford and the headquarters of Principal Financial Group and Nationwide's affiliates. Iowa runs on agriculture, food processing, and insurance, in a humid-continental climate where seasonal grain dust, freeze cycles, and animal-handling exposure drive facility programs.

Questions

Do you take commercial movers and relocation jobs in Des Moines?

Yes. Requests from Des Moines, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and the rest of Iowa are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.

Do you do moves on weekends and overnight?

Yes. Most commercial moves happen Friday night through Sunday. Timing is discussed up front and reflected in the quote.

Do you provide packing materials?

Packing materials such as bins, dollies, padded covers, anti-static bags, labels and asset tags can be included in the scope and delivered before move day.

What is the difference between a commercial move and a residential one?

A commercial move has an IT handover, modular furniture systems, building access coordination and a deadline tied to business operations. It needs a written plan, which is why every Ashford Group quote starts with one.

How far in advance should I book?

More notice makes planning easier, especially for larger warehouse or multi-floor moves and busy end-of-month dates. Tell us your target date in your email and we will be clear about what is realistic.

Do you handle IT equipment?

Yes. Servers, networking, storage, workstations and AV can all be part of a commercial move. Equipment is labelled and inventoried, packed in protective materials, and shutdown and power-up windows are coordinated with your IT team. Configuration stays with your IT team; the move covers transport and physical reinstallation.
