Schedule Move
We require a first and last name, phone number and addresses to schedule a move. No deposit required for local moves. For out-of-state moves, we require 50% as a refundable deposit. Contact us by phone, e-mail, text or Facebook to schedule your move.
Move Cost
For local moves, we charge an hourly rate. Based on the information you provide us, we schedule a red truck crew to accommodate your move. The clock starts when we arrive and stops when our work is complete (e.g., truck is empty, truck is loaded, furniture is delivered/placed). We don't round up. After the first hour, we charge by the quarter hour. For moves with elevators, stairs and over-sized pieces we require more men. For local deliveries, we charge a flat rate.
Move Questionnaire
Make sure to give as much information as possible when you schedule your move.
These are the most common questions we have for you.
How many bedrooms do you have?
How many boxes/totes do you have?
Are there stairs? Inside, outside or both? Turns in the stairs?
Is there an elevator? When is it accessible?
What is the parking layout?
Do you have any oversized items? China cabinet, piano, armoire, hutch, grill, toolbox?
Do you have any exercise equipment?
Do you have a garage?
Do you have an attic?
Do you have any tvs, glass, mirrors?
Mental Preparation
You may discover you have more stuff than you thought you had!
Allow more time for stairs and elevators and long hallways.
Elevators are unpredictable. Reserving an elevator does not guarantee access!
Make a checklist of specialty items that need extra care.
Confirm parking location for red truck.
Physical Preparation
We want you involved in the process!
Tape boxes shut and label, so we know which room they go.
Disassemble beds. Save hardware in plastic bag.
Remove sofa cushions. Remove sofa legs if necessary to fit door frame.
Empty all dresser drawers. If stairs, remove drawers from dressers.
Remove mirrors from dressers/walls and wrap.
Bag clothes.
Wrap picture frames and box art.
Roll and tape rugs.
Unplug electronics, box and label.
Remove light bulbs and box lamp shades.
Disconnect appliances.
Empty fridge. Remove glass shelves.
Verify dryer cord matches new outlet. If it doesn't, purchase proper one.
Move Recommendations
Transport plants in your own vehicle. You know your plants better than us!
Transport picture frames, art and lamp shades in your own vehicle.
Transport your tv in your own vehicle. It's quicker and safer.
No-no Moves

Assembly/Disassembly Service
We have tools to disassemble beds and disconnect appliances. We highly recommend you do it yourself to save money and maximize our time moving you!
Labor Only Service
We will load/unload your pod or rental and we also rearrange/stage furniture. We recommend you have moving blankets, cardboard and ratchet straps to safeguard and secure your items.
Pack Service
We do not provide tape or boxes to pack individual items, but we do provide moving blankets, tools and equipment to assist with your move.
Haul Service
We no longer offer junk removal services, but if you have something to donate, please specify before we arrive. We charge a flat rate for removals.
Assessment
For house moves, we offer a complimentary in-person assessment. An in-person assessment gives us a chance to meet you, familiarize us with your furniture and helps us plan ahead. If an in-person assessment is not an option, please send pictures and provide as much information as possible. The more specific you are, the better!
Hidden Fees
We do not have hidden fees.
Out-of-State Moves
We require a first and last name, phone number and addresses to schedule your out-of-state move. An in-house assessment is required for your out-of-state move. We also require 50% as a refundable deposit. In order to prepare, please contact us a month in advance to schedule your out-of-state move.
