About Us

Family Owned, Residential and Commercial, Local and Long Distance

Changing Spaces Moving, Inc. is a family owned business that officially started as a moving company on August 14, 2003 with one truck. Scott Planson utilized this truck with a friend and within six weeks needed a second truck to meet the customer moving demand. The company added Joe Planson (Scott's father) in February of 2004 to handle sales, marketing, scheduling, truck maintenance and other miscellaneous business requirements while Scott ran operations. Two more trucks were purchased in March of 2004 and were kept busy during the summer of 2004. The fifth truck was purchased in December of 2004 and the sixth truck in March 2005, the seventh truck in June 2005 and the eight truck in December 2005. Trucks number nine and ten were added in February and April of 2006. Trucks eleven and twelve were added in September 2007 and number fourteen in July 2008.

One can readily see that this is a very rapid growth rate for a new start-up company. Why this fast growth? “The People” that do the work are highly skilled in the moving profession. They also have excellent work ethics, speed, stamina, and most of all -- customer skills! These drivers and loaders received some of the highest movers pay for their skills in the Birmingham area. You get what you pay for!

High expectations, accountability, ethics, a personal approach, and a clear corporate culture help preserve the growth. The principal mechanism of growth has been by referrals from past customers. We are both residential and commercial movers providing local and long distance moving.

This is a hands on family business with Peg Planson (Scott's mother) performing the day-to-day sales role.

Scott got his moving experience starting out as a driver and worked his way up to a manager at one of the largest moving companies in Birmingham.

Joe is a degreed mechanical engineer with 40 years of extensive experience in plant operations, maintenance, project management, and consulting and planning on a global basis. This work experience included GM, John Deere, Citation Corporation and running his own business. The planning, logistical project scheduling and engineering, and especially attention to detail disciplines transfers well into the moving industry. In this business, attention to detail is everything.

Our trucks are principally 26’ to 28’ with high profile boxes, a cab-over engine design that maneuvers well in tight spots in the city and the hills of Birmingham. They are outfitted with ramps and professional moving equipment, including “E” track to help improve the speed of the move.
