What Affects the Cost of Your Move

  • Amount of furniture and boxes. More items mean more time loading and unloading.
  • Distance between homes. A longer drive between your old and new place adds to the time on the job.
  • Stairs, elevators, and long walks. Every extra flight or long carry from the door to the truck slows the crew down.
  • Full-service vs labor-only. Choosing full-service or labor-only changes who supplies the truck and how much of the work our crew handles.
  • Packing. Having us do the packing adds time and materials, so it is estimated separately.
  • Specialty items. Pianos, safes, and other heavy or fragile pieces can take extra time and care.
Two Ways to Move

Full-Service vs Labor-Only

With full-service moving, our crew brings the truck and handles the loading, transport, and unloading. It fits busy families, larger homes, and anyone who wants the move done for them.

With labor-only moving, you rent the truck, POD, or container, and our crew handles the heavy lifting, loading, and unloading. It fits budget-minded moves and anyone comfortable with the truck rental and the drive.
