Know More About Us
Who We Are
We’re a local A-rated Minnesota moving company with 21+ years of experience. Our trained, long-term team does the job right with real care. We listen, give honest advice, and offer on-site estimates for big moves.
What We Do
We protect your furniture, floors, and peace of mind. Our crew wraps, pads, disassembles, and reassembles with care—always treating your home like it’s our own. We stay in touch throughout the move, so you’re never left guessing.
How It All Started
Lighthouse Moving began with an old pickup, a basement room, and a lot of hustle. I started by hauling junk, barely scraping by—until one customer asked if I could help her move. I said yes, and that moment sparked something bigger.
Our Founder
Built on Integrity, Driven by Care
When I started Lighthouse Moving, my goal wasn’t just to move boxes—it was to move people with integrity. I wanted every customer to feel respected, heard, and taken care of. That’s why we answer phones directly, train every mover personally, and treat every home as if it were our own. Over the years, we’ve built something special—not just a moving company, but a team that truly cares about doing the job right. And to every customer who’s trusted us along the way—thank you.

Posted on Kaushal ParikhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John and team were fantastic during our move! Strongly recommend. Great work ethic! His team came on time to pack the previous day and next day for the move. They were patient with our requests for replacing furniture in different areas than initially requested. It was a pleasure to deal with John himself. When the owner himself is available and takes on responsibilities, you know you're in good hands.Posted on Priya SamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin and Antoine did an amazing job! They moved me from my 1 bedroom apartment to my new home in 3 hours. They were very friendly and super fast! It was a great price for 3 hrs, 2 movers, and a truck. I'd hire them again!Posted on Andy OlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lighthouse moving was affordable and the three workers were friendly and helpful. They moved large furniture safely and took especially good care of the piano. The workers even helped move some furniture that was already in our new house from upstairs to downstairs. The move was completed in just under 3 hours for a 3 mile move. John was helpful when talking over the phone in preparing for our move and learning what items we were moving. He responded to calls and texts promptly. Thank you Lighthouse moving for your hard work and taking good care of our things. Great to support a local business.Posted on tinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys who did the move were nice and worked hard but at the end of the day didn't do a great job. Lighthouse says they can take apart and put back together beds but they definitely don't. The lost the hardware for 2 of our beds and on one bed none of the slats were secured. (see photo). Also numerous areas of damage to the wall and trim board. scuff marks scratches and even a couple of holes (i have a teacher just a few picture bc it would be so many to attach them all). On top of that they left the truck unattended and we had a TV stolen as well as all our winter coats!!! over a thousand dollars in items!!! The owner did give us my tip money back after I discovered all these things but that was all, no coverage for stolen items. Also the owner and employees were fairly unprofessional. the owner forgot he had come to our house for a quote (asked three more times to come out) and then argued with my husband over the directions at the new house. The employees also spent a large portion of the day complaining about furniture and heavy boxes and we only had 3 beds to move - no couches chairs tables etc I can't imagine what they would be like if we did. They are movers right?!? We picked lighthouse even though they were a higher quote because they were a small business but sometimes a small business is small for a reason. I would never recommend them to anyone!!! Also final cost was nearly double what they quoted so beware. Also left this off but they actually "lost" a box of our belongings containing 2 laptop computers, older ones but still. our video camera with all the chips (and memories) i know my fault that they hadn't been downloaded unto a newer computer but still. a 30" flat screen and a kids rocking chair, a wii and games. Also in response to his response - our bed was not put together by professionals - it was an ikea bed that we originally assembled and there was no heavy furniture involved in our move - we didn't move one couch, hutch, table anything. we started nearly completely from scratch they literally had to move two twin bed frames and mattresses - no box frames and and one full bed - again no box frame and one queen mattress and box frame. the bed frames they moved were all ikea - easy to assemble and very light weight. there were alot of boxes but none too heavy - i could lift all of them and I am 5'2" and 120lbs. I seriously can't believe they are in business anymore.Posted on Yvonne FlaifelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lighthouse moving has been great to work with! They’ve moved me a few times now and each time John has always been easy to work with, always available for any questions, genuine, and reliable. He takes the time to take note of any details of your move so the crew is ready and makes sure it gets done on time and efficiently. I am grateful to now have a great company to rely on and recommend Lighthouse Moving to anyone looking for a solid family-owned business to take care of all of your moving needs!Posted on Kathryn JewellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great team. Very professional. Introduced themselves. Carefully wrapped everything. Made the stress of moving much easier.Posted on Sara PowersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lighthouse Moving made my transition to my new apartment easy and hassle-free. John was easy to get in touch with whenever I had a question prior to my move. The two gentleman who completed the move were friendly and accommodating-they even made an effort to make friends with my nervous cat! the took great care of my furniture and the whole process was easy for me because I could tell they knew what they were doing. the price was fair and the move was quick I will definitely use Lighthouse Moving in the future!Posted on Brenda ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The movers were great! And day 2 movers were as well (they moved a dresser/mirror away from the sprinkler system)! We would highly recommend all of the movers that helped us!Posted on John BrockerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were pleasant toaork with and were careful with all items!
