Looking for tank moving companies in Wisconsin

[DH78]

Looking for any recommendations folks have for a company to move my new tank into the basement. I am in Wisconsin. I contacted several moving companies. Only one got back to me and the quote was over $600 to move my 220 gallon from my garage into the basement and put it on the stand. I have also looked into renting the suction cups from custom aquariums in Neenah and getting enough friends/family over to move the tank, but trying to get enough people over at the same time seems to be next to impossible.
If anyone has suggestions for companies in Wisconsin to contact, please let me know.

You can do the suction cups and place the tank in wood and slow glide it down the steps with 2-3 guys guiding it Down And 2-3 persons holding it back to slow the speed going down

If I can get enough folks to help over at one time, I was going to build a sled to put the tank on so we could do that to guide it down the stairs. Busy lives making it tough right now. If I can find a moving company I think is reasonably priced, it will be done quicker. Unfortunately, my wife is so ready to get a big portion of her laundry room back from my "fish stuff". Thanks for your replies.

Yes - sled effect from the wood or even carpet remnant
