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 Indiana — a finished basement nobody wants to load alone. Back To Back Moving handles full residential relocation across the Indianapolis metro on one flat written rate, basement to attic.
The homes we relocate
Indianapolis housing stock runs from older brick bungalows in Irvington to mid-century ranches in Beech Grove and newer two-story Colonials throughout Hamilton County. Most Indiana 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 Victorian homes
Bungalows and historic homes in Lockerbie Square, Herron-Morton, and the Old Northside — cobblestone driveways, narrow Victorian stairs, original oak floors, and side-door entries that need padding before any case goods land on the runner.
Suburban Carmel and Fishers builds
Newer two-story Colonials in Carmel, Fishers, and Westfield — wider master-planned layouts, finished basements full of gym gear, and long driveways that sometimes mean a shuttle truck. 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 a Carmel cul-de-sac job ran long against an early ice-storm sunset. Pianos and climate-controlled storage carry their own clear lines if you need them.
Planning an Indiana winter house relocation
A full house can take most of a day, and Indianapolis weather drops fast after 4pm once a January ice storm rolls in off the plains. 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 Costs Around Indy
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and bigger Indy jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls off Keystone Avenue.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded box truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the entire Indianapolis job folded into a single Back To Back Moving rate, with no handoff to a third-party van line at any point in the day.
