Relocating a whole house is a different animal from a quick apartment job: more rooms, more stairs, hardwood and trim to guard, and — this is the Midwest — a finished basement nobody wants to load alone. Blue Diamond Movers handles full residential relocation across the Kansas City Northland on one flat written rate, basement to attic.
The homes we relocate
The Northland housing stock runs from older brick ranches in Independence to mid-century split-levels in Gladstone and newer Liberty subdivisions tucked along I-35. Most Missouri homes we touch involve a finished basement load and a walk-out door or narrow stairwell to navigate. We size the crew to the home rather than the truck.
Older brick and ranch homes
Single-story and split-level houses in Independence, Raytown, and Grandview — basement family rooms, original oak floors, and side-door entries that need padding before any case goods land on the runner.
Suburban Liberty and Parkville builds
Newer two-stories in Liberty, Parkville, and the Smithville Lake area — wider layouts, finished basements full of gym gear, and long driveways that mean a shuttle truck on some jobs. See the full town list on our service-areas page.
How we protect the house
Floors and trim absorb the most damage in a careless relocation, so protection is standard rather than an upsell. The crew sets up before the first carton leaves the basement.
- Floor runners and hardwood pads on the main carry paths
- Door-frame and corner guards at every doorway and basement landing
- Shrink-wrap and blankets on dressers, sofas, and case goods
- Mattress and TV cartons; beds and tables disassembled and rebuilt
- Basement and attic loads built into the plan, not skipped
| Home size | Flat written rate |
|---|---|
| 2-bedroom house | $950-$1,550 |
| 3-bedroom house | $1,750-$2,800 |
| 4-bedroom house | $3,000-$4,400 |
One flat rate for the whole house
Flat written rate. We quote one price for the full home — every room, basement, garage, attic — so the number does not climb because the day ran long against an early sunset. Pianos and climate-controlled storage carry their own clear lines if you need them.
Planning a Midwest winter house relocation
A full house can take most of a day, and Missouri winters drop fast after 4pm once an ice storm rolls through. We start residential crews mid-morning so the bulk of the load is done before the roads glaze and the daylight goes. If the house relocation is also a downsize, ask about our senior moving and downsizing help, and request a free flat-rate quote when you are ready to book.

What It Runs
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and larger jobs get pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck pulls out of the Burlington Street yard.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the whole North Kansas City job folded into a single Blue Diamond Movers rate, with no broker handoff at any point in the day.
