Local moves are charged an hourly rate plus a one-time travel/fuel surcharge. Long distance movers get an in home estimate based on the quantity/weight of items to be moved and the distance between locations.

The hourly rate depends on what services are required , the size of moving truck required, the number of movers required, and to some degree might be affected by the difficulty of the move (ie Stairs, distance to truck etc.). The hourly rate is also affected by demand for moving services (we pay overtime). Mid-month movers pay less than month-end movers, off-season movers pay less than people moving in peak moving season (Jul-Sep). We even offer price breaks to seniors and students so for us to post a fixed hourly rate would be impossible.

What we do, is quote the lowest price we can for the moving services you need… and we stick to our quotes, no surprises on moving day. The best way to get the lowest possible price is to call us as far ahead of the move as possible and speak to a representative. Your moving specialist will try to work with you to get the lowest possible rate.

Estimated Hours for Moving

The number of hours depends on the amount of furnishings to be moved and the difficulty getting the furniture to the moving truck. A general rule of thumb is the following:

For a Bachelor Apt. it takes roughly 2 – 2 ½ hours
For a 1-Bedroom it takes roughly 3 – 3 1/2 hours
For a 2 -Bedroom it takes roughly 5 – 5 ½ hours
For a 3-Bedroom it takes roughly 6 – 6 1/2 hours
For a 4-Bedroom it takes roughly 8 – 8 ½ hours
For a 5-Bedroom home it takes roughly 10 hours
