What Customers From Rochester Can Expect

Instead, the reusable boxes can be rented and ordered online directly through Professional Movers.com sister brand, Rental Crates.com and delivered to the customer’s doorstep in 24 hours. The company has taken all the hassle out of figuring out how many boxes a customer may need to pack and move by offering bundled packages based on the size of the customer’s home or office.  In addition, the plastic moving boxes arrive fully assembled and require zero use of tape, helping reduce packing time by over 50%.

Professional Movers.com has always been known as a progressively different and a positive disruptor of the Moving Industry. In 2011, they pioneered the Detroit Moving Incentives Program, a company wide initiative to help encourage more people and businesses to consider moving Detroit. The program has been a supportive driver in Detroit’s latest renaissance with Professional Movers.com moving more companies and people to Detroit the last 8 years than they had in their previous 32 years combined. The success of the program allowed Professional Movers.com to open a Detroit office, hire more Team Members, purchase new trucks, and invest in the development of new technology.

In 2016, Professional Movers.com developed the online tech widget, Moving Calculator.com to provide customers with a quick and easy way to receive estimated moving cost to move anywhere in the United States in under 30 seconds. This new widget is quickly rising up in search rankings while providing Professional Movers.com insight into where people across the country are looking to move. To date, thousands of leads have come through the Moving Calculator widget. In 2017, Professional Movers.com became the first Moving Company in Michigan to bring about the availability of renting Plastic Moving Boxes for residential moving services.

Professional Movers.com Gives Back To the Communities They Serve

In ways both big and small, Professional Movers.com supports the communities they serve. Since 2017 they  supported the Royal Oak Public Piano Project by sourcing unwanted pianos from customers and various people willing to donate their piano to the project. Professional Movers.com donates their services free-of-charge to pick-up the pianos and brings them back to their warehouse where they host an event for the community to come and paint all the pianos with artistic themes. Once painted, Professional Movers delivers the painted pianos throughout downtown Royal Oak so the community can play, enjoy, and become small gathering spots. The project was spearheaded by Jason Gittinger, chairman of the Royal Oak Commission for the Arts and Owner of The Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music who along with Live the Music Foundation had the vision to bring dazzlingly painted public pianos or “street pianos” to downtown Royal Oak for the public to enjoy.

In 2016 when the City of Flint experienced their water crisis, Professional Movers.com converted their Walled Lake warehouse to a community donation center to help accept bottled water donations. Their goal was to raise enough water to fill a 26-foot truck, but through the generous efforts of the community, Professional Movers was able to accept and deliver 22 pallets of water totaling 49,126 lbs. to the Flint Community.

Professional Movers.com community efforts also include partnering with local Schools to collect donated food for local food pantries. In 2018, their company helped set a new donation and collection record of over 20,000 canned goods and various items. Professional Movers.com donated their moving services to pick-up and the donated items, assist with boxing the items, and delivering to Open Door Outreach Center. The items directly had a positive impact for local families in need of assistance with food.
