An office move is never just about boxes and furniture. It requires moving workstations, servers, files, and equipment that your team needs on day one at the new address. At Morse Moving & Storage, we’ve spent seven decades helping businesses across Michigan relocate without losing momentum. From single-suite startups to large corporate campuses, our commercial moving teams know how to plan around your business operations.

Morse Moving & Storage was founded by Herb and Vi Morse in 1954, and the company has stayed family-rooted ever since. Our heritage carries into the way we run office moves today: methodical planning, a crew with extensive experience, and a single point of contact who understands your timeline from the first walkthrough to the final piece of furniture placed.
Our Office Moving Services
Office relocations come with more moving parts than a typical residential move, so Morse Moving & Storage builds a scope of work around the specific needs of your business, whether you’re relocating down the street or across state lines.
Local Office Moving
Staying in the same metro area but moving into a new space? Our local office moving teams handle the relocation of desks, workstations, filing systems, and shared equipment with minimal disruption to your daily function. Because we have deep roots in the communities we serve, our team already understands freight elevator scheduling, loading dock access, and building management requirements that can slow down a move if they aren’t properly planned for in advance. You can transition to your new space more quickly and with less downtime for your staff when you depend on our local knowledge.
Long-Distance Office Moving
When your office is relocating farther away, whether it’s to a new city or a new state, our long-distance moving team coordinates every stage of the process, from initial packing through final delivery and setup. Sensitive office equipment, electronics, and furniture require different handling than household goods, and our crews are trained in the padding, crating, and load-securing techniques that keep those items protected over long hauls. Through our Allied Van Lines partnership, we draw on a national network of resources while keeping your move managed by a team you work with directly.
Office Packing Services
Packing an office involves more than wrapping a few boxes. Workstations, shared printers, server racks, conference room technology, and file cabinets full of records all need to be broken down, protected, and labeled so they land in the right place at your new location. Our packing crews use commercial-grade materials and a systematic, room-by-room (or department-by-department) approach, so nothing is left to guesswork on move-in day.
We offer full packing for businesses that want the entire process handled, as well as partial packing for teams that prefer to manage some of it themselves while leaving the more delicate or complex items to us.
Furniture Installation & Modular Systems
Cubicles, modular workstations, and reconfigurable office systems require careful planning and consideration to relocate and reassemble properly. Our furniture installation team disassembles, transports, and reassembles modular furniture to meet the layout of your new space, and we coordinate closely with your facilities team or office manager throughout the process. If you’ve ordered new furniture for the space, we can also schedule and monitor product deliveries, so everything arrives and gets installed on the same timeline as the rest of your move.
Commercial Storage Solutions
Sometimes a move-out date and a move-in date don’t line up, or you’re downsizing and don’t need everything at the new office right away. Morse Moving & Storage operates secure commercial storage facilities across Michigan, with room for thousands of storage vaults across our warehouses. Our facilities are climate-controlled and monitored around the clock, with fire suppression and burglar alarm systems in place, so anything you need to store between locations stays protected until you’re ready for it.
IT & Sensitive Equipment Handling
Technology is often the most critical (and the most fragile) part of an office move. Servers, networking equipment, monitors, and specialized office electronics require careful disconnection, padding, and transport to avoid downtime or damage. Our teams work with your IT staff or vendor to sequence the move so critical systems are down for the shortest window possible, and we handle the physical transport with the same care we’d give any high-value item.
Our Office Moving Service Area
Morse Moving & Storage operates branch locations across Michigan, giving businesses in both regions access to a local team backed by a national moving network.
- Detroit, Michigan: Our Romulus branch serves businesses throughout the greater Detroit metro, from downtown high-rises to suburban office parks in Southfield, Livonia, Farmington Hills, and Dearborn. We’re familiar with the loading logistics, parking restrictions, and building access rules that come with moving in a dense urban core.
- Lansing, Michigan: We serve businesses in and around the state capital, including East Lansing and the greater mid-Michigan region, from small professional offices to larger institutional relocations.
- Traverse City, Michigan: Our Traverse City branch supports businesses throughout Northern Michigan, handling the seasonal and logistical considerations that come with moving in this part of the state.
- Grand Rapids, Michigan: Our Grand Rapids team serves the West Michigan business community, including surrounding areas like Kentwood, Wyoming, and Grandville.
If your business is located outside these immediate areas, reach out anyway. Our branch network covers a wide radius, and we regularly serve businesses throughout the surrounding communities.
Our Office Moving Process
A successful office move depends on thorough planning well before moving day. Here’s how Morse Moving & Storage approaches a commercial relocation from start to finish.
Step 1: Site Walkthrough and Consultation
We start by understanding your business: the size of your current space, the layout of your new location, your equipment and furniture inventory, and your timeline. For larger or more complex office moves, we’ll schedule an in-person walkthrough of both locations so our estimate accurately reflects the real scope of the job.
Step 2: Custom Move Plan
Every office move gets a written plan covering crew size, equipment needs, packing requirements, IT coordination, and a detailed schedule. If your move needs to happen after hours or over a weekend to avoid disrupting business operations, we build the plan around that.
Step 3: Pre-Move Preparation
In the days leading up to your move, we confirm building access, loading dock or freight elevator reservations, and any parking arrangements with your building management. If you’ve added packing services, our crew arrives ahead of moving day to begin preparing your space.
Step 4: Moving Day
Our crew arrives on schedule, in uniform, and ready to work. We protect entryways, floors, and elevators before anything is moved, then load systematically, using the padding, blanket-wrapping, and securing techniques specifically for office furniture and equipment. Your move coordinator stays available throughout the day to answer questions and adjust on the fly if something comes up.
Step 5: Delivery, Setup, and Furniture Installation
At your new location, our crew unloads and places furniture and equipment according to your floor plan. If you’ve contracted furniture installation, we assemble workstations and modular systems on-site so your space is functional, not just full of boxes. We finish with a walkthrough to confirm everything has arrived and been placed correctly.
Step 6: Follow-Up
Once you’re settled in, we check in to make sure everything went as planned. If anything needs attention, we’re available to resolve it quickly.
