Established in 1953, Vincent Fister, Inc. is a local, family owned Lexington moving company with affordable prices and professionally trained, friendly movers. Our current owner, Mike Fister, grew up in the moving business watching his father build the company. Mike has run the company since 1975. His motto has always been to provide first class quality service and honest pricing to each and every customer and they will come back.
Vincent Fister, Inc. provides full service packers, professional movers and relocation services at a low and affordable price. Whether you’re moving locally in the Lexington area or across the country, we have a solution to fit your needs and your budget. We have trucks in all sizes from pack vans (16 ft) to tractor-trailers (53 ft). This allows us to send the correct sized truck for your move and save you money on only having one truck for your move.
We know moving can be stressful and we do everything in our power to remove the stress. We start out by having one of our local professionally trained sales representatives to come visit your home. We offer this free service to make sure we are giving the most accurate pricing. As stated above, honesty in pricing is very important to our company. We do not give you a price and then change it to get the move. We give you the best price upfront. Our many years of experience have shown us that giving a price over the phone is not accurate and it creates opportunities for surprises on moving day that we want to avoid for our customers. Our local sales professionals use the pricing stated below to offer you a simple to understand quote.
As we stated before, we want to remove the stress and limit your costs. This is the reason we DO NOT charge per hour to pack your belonging. We only charge you for what boxes we pack. This allows us to take the quality time we need to protect your goods without you worrying how much it is costing per hour.
We are local professional packers and movers who have been serving the local Lexington & Central Kentucky area for over 6 decades. We have streamlined the process of moving to make it efficient, safe and affordable, whether you are moving in-state or cross country. We specialize in moves of all sizes, from apartments and condos, to residential homes and commercial buildings.
Some things in your shipment may need custom crating, such as large mirrors,glass-top tables or chandeliers. Crating provides an additional level of protection for specific items.

Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
