Movers in Dundee | Tetris Moving

Dundee is the historic near-midtown neighborhood off Underwood Avenue, among Omaha’s oldest residential pockets, and almost any move here comes wrapped in the character of an early-1900s street. The blocks run to brick Tudors, foursquares, and two-stories on tight lots, with detached garages off narrow alleys, steep original stairways, finished attics and basements, and the mature trees and tucked-in drives of a neighborhood laid out before the car reshaped the city. A typical Dundee job is a family clearing a brick Tudor near Underwood before a closing, or a couple loading out of a two-story whose garage sits back on the alley. Megan Ruzicka grew up near Benson just up the road, managed scheduling at a bigger Omaha mover, and worked the loading end for a national van line before opening Tetris Moving in 2015, so the narrow alleys, the detached-garage load-outs, and the careful footwork an old Dundee stairway demands are exactly what her crews are built for.

A brick Tudor and a back-alley garage want particular handling, so the plan starts with the property. On the tight blocks, where a home’s garage hides off a narrow alley, we reserve the truck spot early, decide whether the load exits the front or the alley side, and keep the carry short and protected, with a smaller truck kept on call whenever a 26-footer cannot fit the alley. Steep original front steps get a ramp and a guiding pair of hands, and indoors the crew wraps the original stairway and rail before anything heavy heads up or down a finished attic or basement run. We shield the period woodwork and plaster the full distance. Our payroll crews crate and load under our roof and never farm it out, and we take full households, apartments, offices, and pianos. When the Plains winter sets in with blizzards and ice, the narrow alleys and tight drives need clearing first; we put down floor runners and traction mats and request a plowed, cleared path. Tight stacking so a household rides in fewer trips is the whole premise of the name, and it holds the flat figure down.

Pricing is flat and on paper at the outset. A local Dundee move runs $120 hourly for two movers, $160 for three, $210 for four; in bands, a studio tends toward $380 to $620 and a three-bedroom $1,800 to $2,980. Floating in the gap from one sale to the next closing? Climate-controlled storage runs near $90 to $240 monthly, by size. Tetris Moving holds US DOT and MC authority, keeps licensing and insurance throughout Nebraska and western Iowa, and stands behind each load with $1M in cargo coverage.
