An Entrepreneurial Success Story
Ken Coffey founded Coffey Bros. Moving with a straightforward purpose: to make moving easier and provide service that puts people first. Beginning as a small local operation, the company developed around a commitment to reliability, clear communication, and respect for customers’ homes and belongings. Those principles helped establish the foundation for a business serving people through some of life’s most meaningful transitions, from settling into a new home to relocating a growing business. As founder and owner, Ken has guided the company’s growth with an emphasis on customer service, professionalism, and the practical demands of each move. His entrepreneurial approach has focused on solving challenging relocation needs, including tight schedules, complicated building requirements, and commercial moves that require careful coordination. Under his leadership, Coffey Bros. Moving has expanded its capabilities while continuing to emphasize the personal attention that shaped its beginnings. Today, the company’s story reflects both Ken’s work in building the business and the efforts of the team behind it.

Our Core Values
At Coffey Bros. Moving, our core values guide how we care for our customers, support our team, and contribute to our community. We believe dependable service begins with honesty, communicating clearly, setting realistic expectations, and following through on our commitments. We approach every move with respect for your time, your home, and the belongings you entrust to us, understanding that each item can hold personal meaning beyond its monetary value. Professionalism means paying attention to the details, working carefully, and taking responsibility for the quality of our service from the first conversation to the final delivery. Teamwork is equally important. We strive to create an environment where employees feel valued, support one another, and take pride in helping customers through an important transition. We also believe in listening, learning, and continually improving so we can respond thoughtfully to challenges and make the moving experience easier. Our commitment to care extends beyond our daily work through support for charitable organizations and community initiatives that help people thrive. Together, these values reflect a simple promise: to work hard, treat people well, and earn trust through our actions every day.
