Residential moves we run every week
Most of what Moving Matters does is residential — full households in and out of Bowling Green and the Warren County stretch. The houses around here aren’t cookie-cutter. A 1955 Reservoir Hill historic is nothing like a Greenwood Park 2018 build. A Rich Pond ranch sitting on two acres with a gravel loop is nothing like an SoKY Fountain Row loft three stories over a downtown bar.
My crews scope the access first. Stairs, doorway widths, attic pull-downs, basement turns, the gravel-versus-asphalt question, whether the lawn handles a 26-footer. Tyler Whitlock has been my lead on big-house moves since 2020 — he walks the entry route with you before we lift the first piece.

The Bowling Green housing oddities we plan for
Downtown historics on Reservoir Hill have narrow stairs and original plaster — banister pads come off the truck first. Rich Pond and Plano ranches mean a gravel walk to the porch; we lay plywood tracks so the dolly doesn’t kick rocks. WKU campus-edge duplexes deal with game-weekend Hilltopper traffic — we book those weeks early. Need help with the boxing? See full-service packing. Selling the old house first? Storage at the yard buys you a few weeks.

What will it run?
Two polos plus the rig running the clock at $119/hr, or shut the meter down entirely with a countersigned South-Central KY figure that folds the whole job onto one page
Furniture pads, four-wheelers, shrink film, red-clay-mud floor armor for Rich Pond and Alvaton brick-ranch carries and the boilerplate COI paperwork that WKU campus and downtown SoKY buildings ask for sit inside either number. Stepping the crew to three uniforms alongside the rig moves the clock to $159/hr.
