How much does a move cost?
It's hourly: 2 movers + truck $149/hr, 3 movers + truck $199/hr, 4 movers + truck $249/hr. There is a 3-hour minimum, then we bill in 15-minute steps. The calculator gives you a range for your place in about a minute.
Are stairs, fuel or blankets extra?
No. Stairs, elevators, fuel, blankets, shrink wrap and taking beds apart are in the hourly rate. Nothing gets added once the truck is loaded.
When does the clock start?
When the crew is at your door. Not at our yard, not on the drive over.
What if you finish early?
You pay less. One of our clients was quoted four hours for a one-bedroom and paid for three.
How do you keep furniture from getting scratched?
Every piece gets a moving blanket and shrink wrap before it leaves the room. Boxes are strapped in the truck, and floors and door frames are covered.
How fast do you get back to me?
Within 15 minutes, by phone or WhatsApp — your choice. Same-week moves are often possible when a crew is free.
Who actually shows up?
Nick and Roman lead our crews. They are the names in most of our 128 Thumbtack reviews, and Thumbtack has run a background check.
How do I pay?
After the move, for the hours it took. Card, cash, Apple Pay, Venmo or Zelle.
How far ahead should I book?
One to two weeks is comfortable. The end of the month and summer weekends fill first.
Can I leave clothes in the dresser?
Yes, light clothes can stay. Take out anything heavy, fragile or valuable.
Can you send a certificate of insurance to my building?
Yes. Tell us what your building asks for and we send the COI before move day.
What won't you move?
Gas cans, propane, paint thinner, ammunition and perishable food.
Rather talk it through?
Leave your number. We call or WhatsApp you back within 15 minutes. No spam calls. We never sell or share your data.
