Clayton instead of a descriptive sentenceWhen you hire Dielman Moving & Storage, you are not getting a rented truck and a Craigslist crew. We have been moving families and businesses across the St. Louis metro since the 1990s, and Clayton is one of the communities we know best.
From scheduling a 4-hour loading dock window at the Crescent on Forsyth, to easing a 1928 sideboard down a narrow DeMun staircase, to coordinating a Centene Plaza office relocation over a single weekend, our team understands what a Clayton move actually requires. Same trucks, same family-trained crews, same standards on every job.

Real reviews from Clayton families and businesses we have moved.
"We moved into a unit at the Crescent on Forsyth and the building only gave us a 4 hour dock window on a Wednesday. Dielman handled the COI with property management, showed up early, and had everything upstairs and unwrapped before our window closed. Could not have asked for a smoother first day in Clayton."
Sarah M., Clayton (Forsyth Blvd)"Our 1925 home in DeMun has the kind of staircase you cannot get a queen mattress around without a plan. The crew showed up, walked the house, padded every doorway, and got our piano out without a single mark on the original woodwork. Best moving experience we have ever had."
David & Lauren K., Clayton (DeMun)"Office relocation from Maryland Avenue to a larger suite in Centene Plaza. Dielman moved 14 workstations, two server racks, and the kitchen over a Saturday. We were back online Monday morning at 8 AM as promised. They are now our go-to firm for any St. Louis office move."

Every move is different, but we believe in being upfront about cost. The ranges below are our typical Clayton local move rates. High-rise condo moves at buildings with strict dock windows tend toward the higher end of each range because of the elevator and paperwork coordination. Single-family moves with driveway access fall on the lower end.
| Move Size | Crew | Typical Range | What's Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 BR | 2 Movers | $550 – $950 | Truck, blankets, floor protection, basic disassembly and reassembly |
| 2 BR Home or Condo | 3 Movers | $950 – $1,650 | Truck, full pad-wrap, dock coordination, stair carries |
| 3 BR Home | 3–4 Movers | $1,500 – $2,400 | Truck, full pad-wrap, piano-rated dollies, dedicated foreman |
| 4+ BR Estate | Custom crew | Custom Quote | On-site walkthrough, crating for art and antiques, multi-day option |

Clayton is not one neighborhood. It is a downtown of glass-tower condos, a ring of 1920s brick streets, a corporate district with weekday gridlock, and a university-adjacent corridor with its own moving rhythm. Each one needs a different playbook.
A Clayton move at noon on a Forsyth Boulevard high-rise is not the same job as a Saturday move out of a 1928 four-square in DeMun. The street widths are different, the parking rules are different, the building paperwork is different, and the things that go wrong are different. After three decades and roughly 800 Clayton moves, we have a playbook for each one.
Buildings like the Crescent, Plaza in Clayton, 8000 Maryland, and Centene Plaza each have their own loading dock rules, COI requirements, and time windows. We have a working file on every major Clayton high-rise and coordinate the building paperwork directly with property management before move day.
Brick four-squares and Tudor homes from the 1920s and 1930s have plaster walls, narrow staircases, and original hardwood that does not forgive a missed corner. We use floor runners on every stair, door jamb pads on tight passages, and we disassemble large pieces in place rather than forcing them through.
The City of Clayton requires a temporary no-parking permit for moving trucks on many residential blocks, especially in DeMun, Hi-Pointe, and the streets around Wydown. We pull the permit on your behalf as part of every Clayton move so the truck has a legal spot the morning of.
Clayton sits at the meeting point of I-170 and I-64 (Highway 40). Move start times matter. We schedule arrivals after the 7–9 AM rush and aim to wrap before the 4 PM Centene and downtown St. Louis exodus, especially for moves on or near Forsyth.
Centene, Caleres, Olin, and Reinsurance Group of America all anchor Clayton, and we move executives in and out of the area every month. Confidentiality, weekend windows, full packing, and direct billing to corporate relocation accounts are all standard.
The DeMun and Wydown corridor moves on the Washington University calendar. Faculty and staff relocations cluster between mid-May and mid-August, and inventory in the area gets tight. If your move date is in that window, book at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
Simple, transparent, and built around the way Clayton moves actually unfold.
Six reasons we keep getting called back.
Plenty of moving companies appear after a good rental market and disappear after the first bad season. Dielman has been here since the 1990s.
We know which buildings need a 7-day COI lead time, which dock doors are 8 feet, and which freight elevators need a service key.
Original plaster and 1920s hardwood need a different handling discipline. Our Clayton crews are trained on it and have the gear to do it right.
No bait-and-switch, no surprise fees. We give you a clear quote upfront, and if anything changes, we tell you before it costs you a dollar.

The questions Clayton homeowners and condo residents actually ask us.
Most local Clayton moves range from $550 to $2,400 depending on home size, building access, and services needed. Downtown high-rise moves at buildings like the Crescent or Plaza in Clayton tend toward the higher end because of loading dock coordination and elevator reservations. Single-family moves in DeMun or Old Town fall in the middle of that range. Call 314.736.1101 for a free quote tailored to your specific address.
On many Clayton residential streets, yes. The City of Clayton requires a temporary no-parking permit when a moving truck will block residential parking, especially in DeMun, Old Town, and Hi-Pointe where street widths are narrow. We pull the permit on your behalf as part of every move; you do not need to handle it yourself.
Buildings like the Crescent, Plaza in Clayton, and 8000 Maryland require a reserved loading dock window, a Certificate of Insurance from the moving company, and elevator pads installed before the crew arrives. Most buildings only allow moves Monday through Friday during business hours, with strict 3 to 4 hour dock windows. We have moved residents in and out of every major Clayton high-rise and coordinate the building paperwork directly with property management.
Yes. Historic Clayton homes from the 1920s and 1930s have narrow staircases, original plaster walls, and period hardwood floors that need protection. Our crews use floor runners on every stair, door jamb pads on tight passages, and disassemble large pieces in place rather than forcing them through. We have moved many DeMun and Old Town families and we treat the architecture with the same care as the belongings.
April through October is the busiest window because of the Washington University academic calendar and family relocations during summer. If you want maximum availability and lower rates, January through March is the quietest time. We book Clayton moves year-round and bring extra floor protection during winter months when salt and slush are a concern for historic hardwood and downtown lobby finishes.
