What to Expect When Moving in Island Lake
Island Lake may be small, but every move here needs a plan. From long gravel driveways to streets with limited parking, we’ve seen how tricky things can get especially near Eastway Drive or tight corners off Cottonwood. Some homes sit right along the water with little space for large trucks, while others back into wooded areas that require equipment planning.
We’ve moved in and out of all of it. Whether you’re moving into a townhome, downsizing from a family house, or helping parents relocate nearby, Our team knows the routes, building layouts, and parking options to help avoid delays and get your move done efficiently.

Sherry Sims2025-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This move went a lot smoother than I thought it would thanks to STI Moving. I moved from a three bedroom duplex that I was in for 16 years. I had over 80 medium boxes, a five piece Cloud sectional, a dining room that sits eight, three complete bedrooms, plant, lamps ect a full house. Nothing let me repeat nothing was damaged nor broken. They put the beds together and put all boxes in the rooms that were market on the boxes and furniture was all place in the designated rooms with care. Thank you STI Moving for helping me make a move that I truly dreaded to a smooth, no complication, as easy as it can get move. Will recommend you to anyone that I know. I do hope though that it will be another 16 years before I need you again.
