Same Apartment Movers | In-House Moving Services Minneapolis

You’d think a move within the same apartment complex or even just across the hallway would be simple — no trucks, no traffic, no long-distance planning. But ask anyone who’s tried it: moving from one unit to another, even within the same building, is no small task.

Whether you're switching floors, relocating to a renovated unit, or helping a family member move across the hall, you still face the same physical and logistical challenges, just without the miles in between.

That’s why so many people are turning to the same apartment movers for help.

At Affinity Moving, we offer professional in-house moving services tailored for local, unit-to-unit relocations. Whether you’re moving up a flight of stairs or just across the hall, we handle the heavy lifting and you get to enjoy a safe, efficient, and stress-free experience.

Do You Really Need Movers for a Same Building Move?

Absolutely. In fact, same building movers are often the smartest choice in these scenarios.

While you might be tempted to move everything yourself or recruit a few friends, consider the reality: heavy lifting, tight stairwells, narrow hallways, elevators, and floors to protect, all without professional tools or techniques.

Affinity’s in house movers are trained for exactly these challenges. We’ve helped hundreds of Minneapolis-area residents move efficiently within their apartment building, condo complex, or senior living community.

What Do Same Apartment Movers Do?

Just because you’re staying in the same building doesn’t mean it’s a light move. Our same apartment movers offer full-service support for even the shortest relocations.

Services include:

Carefully moving furniture between units, levels, or floors
Disassembling and reassembling beds, tables, or bulky items
Wrapping and protecting furniture and fragile items
Using equipment like dollies, sliders, and padding to prevent damage
Coordinating elevator use or stairwell access
Rearranging items within the same home or room (ideal for renovations or deep cleans)

We make it easy to move without renting a truck or lifting a single box.

When Should You Hire Same Building Movers?

Here are common situations where our movers within the same building are a perfect fit:

Moving from one apartment to another in the same complex
Upgrading to a larger or more modern unit
Relocating to an accessible or lower-floor apartment
Helping an elderly family member move within a retirement community
Rearranging rooms or furniture during renovations
Staging a home for sale or a short-term lease
Swapping roommates or shifting storage between floors

If it involves moving furniture or belongings from one unit to another, we can help.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring In House Movers?

1. Avoid Injury

Moving furniture without the right equipment is a fast way to throw out your back, strain muscles, or worse. Our professionals handle heavy lifting with safety and care.

2. Save Time

What might take you a full weekend (or longer) can often be handled in a few hours with a trained team and the right tools.

3. Prevent Damage

Our movers use blankets, padding, and floor protection to prevent damage to walls, doorways, and floors — a big deal when you’re in a rental or managed building.

4. No Equipment Rentals

No truck? No problem. You don’t need to rent dollies, pads, or lifts — we bring everything required for a smooth move.

5. Stress-Free Scheduling

We’ll work around your building’s policies, elevator schedules, and availability — so you can focus on settling into your new unit.

Same Building Moves: More Complex Than You Think

You might not be driving anywhere, but you’ll still face plenty of obstacles:

Small elevators (or none at all)
Narrow staircases and doorways
Heavy furniture that doesn’t pivot easily
Long hallway hauls
Coordinating access to both units at once
Protecting shared spaces from damage

Affinity’s experienced movers within the same building are used to navigating tight corners, old buildings, and tricky logistics. We’ve moved families from the third floor to the first and back again — all without a scratch on the walls.

What Does an In-House Move Include?

When you hire Affinity Moving for an in-house or same apartment move, you get:

A pre-move consultation to understand your needs
A trained crew with tools and protective materials
Full packing/unpacking service if requested
Disassembly and reassembly of large or bulky items
Flexible scheduling based on your building's rules
Floor, wall, and doorframe protection
Rearranging furniture as needed in your new unit
Stress-free coordination from start to finish

Whether you're moving everything or just a few key pieces, we customize the experience to match your situation.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire Same Apartment Movers?

One of the best parts of hiring same building movers is that it’s often cheaper than a standard move, since there’s no vehicle, mileage, or fuel involved.

Pricing depends on:

Number of items
Size of the furniture
Whether stairs or elevators are involved
Packing or disassembly needs
Total labor time

We offer flat-rate or hourly pricing and always provide clear, upfront estimates, with no hidden fees.
