Every move is different. We tailor your quote based on the specifics of your situation - no cookie-cutter pricing.
Most local moves are priced by the hour. Your rate depends on crew size - typically 2 or 3 movers for apartments and smaller homes, 3 or 4+ for larger homes. The clock starts when we arrive and stops when we're done. Simple.
Prefer knowing the total cost upfront? We offer flat-rate pricing for most moves. After learning about your home size, inventory, and access details, we'll lock in a price - no surprises on move day.
Studio apartment to 5-bedroom house - crew size and time scale accordingly.
Local moves within Richmond vs. long-distance relocations across Virginia or out of state.
Walk-ups, narrow hallways, long carries from the door to the truck.
Pianos, safes, oversized furniture, or items requiring extra care and equipment.
