Senior Moving in Chattanooga, TN
Apex Moving Co. helps older adults in Chattanooga leave a longtime home for something smaller, whether that's a condo, a relative's house or a senior living apartment. We go at your pace, pack with care, and set up the new place so it feels like home.
A Family Home Holds Decades of Decisions
Leaving a house on Signal Mountain or in Highland Park after thirty or forty years is a different job from an ordinary move. Every closet is full, the new apartment holds maybe half of it, and the adult children helping out often live in another city. The hard part is usually deciding what goes, not lifting it.
We keep the day simple for the person moving. We pack and wrap what's going, and help clear what's left so the house is ready to sell or hand over.
How We Help With a Senior Move
Smaller Place, Planned Ahead
Tell us what's going to the new apartment and what isn't, and we plan the move around that list.
Careful Packing
Dishes, framed photos and keepsakes are wrapped and packed for the trip.
Furniture Where You Want It
Each piece is placed in the room and spot you choose at the new home.
Bed and Favorite Chair
The bed is put back together, and the favorite chair goes where you want it.
Clearing What's Left
Things nobody is keeping can go out with junk removal, and we clean out the garage or basement too.
Working With Family
We're glad to plan with sons, daughters or friends, including relatives helping from out of town.

Choose How Much Help You Want
We pack, wrap, move, unpack and set up the new home. The person moving doesn't lift anything.
An old upright piano or a gun safe in the basement can go on the same booking.
A move to another state to be near children or grandchildren gets a flat price based on weight.
Steps in a Senior Move
1) Start with a conversation.
Call us yourself or have a family member call. Tell us where the move is headed and what the new place looks like.
2) Send photos.
Send photos of the house and the new place. Local moves are quoted by the hour with a 2-hour minimum.
3) Pack and move.
Every item is wrapped and padded, and we answer questions along the way.
4) Make it home.
We set up the bed, place the furniture and unpack what you'd like unpacked.

Senior Moves Around Chattanooga
Many of the homes older adults leave around Chattanooga sit on hills. Houses on Signal Mountain and Lookout Mountain are reached by steep, winding roads where a large truck needs a plan, and older streets on Missionary Ridge have sloped yards and long front steps. In St. Elmo and Highland Park, older homes often have narrow stairs and full basements that take time to clear.
The places people move to are usually easier to reach, but they come with their own rules. Senior living communities in Hixson, East Brainerd, Ooltewah and Red Bank often ask movers to check in at the front desk, use a set entrance and book the elevator ahead. Downtown and North Shore condos work much the same way. We ask about those rules while we plan.
Senior Moving FAQ
Can you help with a move to a smaller apartment?
Yes. Tell us which pieces are going, and anything staying behind can go out with junk removal.
What happens to the things my parent isn't keeping?
We can haul away what isn't going and clean out the garage or basement. Let us know what to leave for relatives.
Can a family member arrange the move from out of town?
Yes. Plenty of senior moves are arranged by adult children who live elsewhere. We plan with you by phone and photos.
Will you follow the senior living community's move rules?
Yes. Send us their check-in, entrance and elevator rules early and we will plan around them.
Can the old house be cleaned after the move?
Yes. Move-out cleaning can be added so the house is ready for a sale or the next tenant.
