Started in 2014, Cardinal Moving has grown into one of Kentucky's most trusted moving companies. Owner Andy Montgomery built the business from his real-world experience in the moving industry. Today, the company helps people move in Louisville, Southern Indiana, and across Kentucky. What makes Cardinal Moving different is how they care about both their employees and customers. Montgomery worked his way up from mover to manager to owner, giving him a clear view of how happy employees create happy customers. Without franchise fees to pay, they keep their costs low and offer better rates to customers while still hiring the best movers. The company has reached important milestones since opening. They hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and have earned a reputation for being reliable and professional. Their focus on making customers happy has made them the "#1 Top Rated Movers in Kentucky." Customers often comment on how carefully their belongings are handled, how punctual the teams are, and how positive the movers remain throughout the job. Cardinal Moving helps people in many Kentucky communities, including Anchorage, Fern Creek, Highview, Jeffersontown, Louisville, Middletown, and Newburg. They've grown to offer long-distance moving through their sister company, Wildcat Van Lines, and added junk removal services with Cardinal Junk Removal. They stay connected to their community through memberships in the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors, The Louisville Apartment Association, The Chamber of Jeffersontown, One Southern Indiana, and Louisville Independent Business Alliance. Under Montgomery's guidance, Cardinal Moving sticks to their main promise: providing excellent service that's both safe and efficient at prices people can afford. This dedication to quality and their focus on employee satisfaction has made Cardinal Moving stand out in Kentucky's moving industry.
