Changing Places Moving

What Changing Places Moving does

Changing Places Moving is a family-owned, woman-owned moving services provider headquartered at 4290 Hatchery Rd., Waterford, Michigan, founded in 1979. The company operates under U.S. DOT No. 1444491 and MC 770031, with Michigan CVED #51462, and serves Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Clarkston, Rochester, and Waterford in Oakland County, with extended coverage across Michigan, the United States, and international destinations.

The core offering is a four-part service suite: residential and relocation moving (local, long-distance, and international), professional packing with premium materials, temporary storage, and climate-controlled storage. The climate-controlled storage facility spans 32,000 square feet across three warehouses with wooden vault crates, humidity sensors, fire safety systems, power backup, and 24/7 security monitoring. Crew assignments are coordinated by a dedicated moving consultant, and a sales representative conducts in-home estimates for customized quoting.

The business model is professional services / project-based. Revenue is generated through per-move fees (hourly rates plus service charges for moving and packing) and recurring storage rentals (monthly subscription-style billing for the storage vault system). Go-to-market is direct sales via phone, website quote forms, and in-home consultations, supplemented by realtor referral partnerships that have operated for nearly two decades and content marketing through a blog and local-area SEO pages. The company is privately held, with no external funding, no parent entity, and no public listing.

Core offering

Changing Places Moving provides residential and commercial relocation services including loading, transportation, and unloading of household and office belongings. The company also offers professional packing with high-quality materials and temporary or long-term climate-controlled storage across three warehouses totaling 32,000 square feet in Waterford, Michigan. Services cover local moves within Oakland County, long-distance relocations across the United States, and international moves worldwide.

Product overview

Changing Places Moving operates as a traditional moving services company offering a unified suite of relocation-related offerings rather than a modular software platform. The core portfolio centers on four interconnected services: Residential Moving Services (the primary umbrella offering), Relocation Moving Services (covering local, cross-country, and international moves), Packing Services (professional packing with premium materials), and Storage Services (split into Climate-Controlled Storage and Temporary Storage). The company assigns a dedicated moving consultant to each relocation and also provides ancillary services including furniture disassembly/reassembly and climate-controlled warehousing. The storage operations utilize a 32,000-square-foot, three-warehouse facility in Waterford, MI with wooden crate-based storage and 24/7 security. No software products, APIs, or AI-powered features are offered—the company is a labor-and- logistics service provider.
