Our Story

Bluemound Express started in 1947 as a small Waukesha company helping families move west on Bluemound Road. What began with a single truck and a commitment to treating people's belongings with care has grown into one of Southeast Wisconsin's most trusted moving companies.

78 years later, we've grown from 85 moves per year to 85 moves per week โ€” but our approach hasn't changed. Owner Rick Vanderboom and the BE team still believe that every move matters, every customer deserves honesty, and every piece of furniture should arrive the way it left.

That's not a marketing line. It's how we've stayed in business for nearly eight decades while other moving companies come and go.

Family Values

As a family business, we treat your family's belongings the way we'd want ours treated. That's not a slogan โ€” it's our standard.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Continuous Improvement

78 years in business means we're always learning. Better equipment, better training, better processes โ€” we never stop improving.

Our Crew Standards

Every Bluemound Express mover is a direct employee โ€” not a temp worker or day laborer. We run background checks on all crew members before they enter your home.

  • Criminal background screening
  • Drug testing
  • Verified work history
  • Reference checks

Trained Professionals

New hires work alongside experienced crew members before leading moves. Our training covers proper lifting, furniture protection, customer service, and specialty item handling.

  • Pad-wrapping techniques
  • Furniture disassembly/reassembly
  • Stair and tight-space navigation
  • Piano and specialty item handling

Insurance & Protection

Fully Licensed & Insured

Bluemound Express is licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and carries full liability insurance. We're also bonded for your protection.

Valuation Coverage Options

We offer two levels of coverage, explained before your move:

  • Released Value Protection: Included at no additional charge. Covers items at $0.60 per pound per item.
  • Full Value Protection: Available for purchase. Covers repair or replacement at current market value.

We'll review both options with you and help you choose the right coverage for your move.
