1) What is your rate for a local residential move?

The cost for a local move is based on the time, labor, equipment and materials required. The time aspect is calculated from the time our crews leave our warehouse until the time they return to the warehouse. The labor is based on the number of laborers that are required to complete your job. Larger jobs usually require a larger number of laborers. Most jobs are completed with one truck; however, larger jobs may require additional trucks. All of these factors will be calculated by our surveyor and will be provided to you in a written quote.

2) How do I know how many men and how many hours it will take to complete my move?

Our surveyor will determine the appropriate amount of men that it will take to complete your move in the most cost effective manner. This varies on each move due to the uniqueness of each physical location as well as the required packing/unpacking services being requested.

3) Will the crew pack my household goods?

Yes, our crews will pack your household goods. It is usually best to go over this requirement with our surveyor so the cost can be incorporated into your quote for time and material.

4) Can I pre-pack my goods and have the crew load the cartons & the large furniture only?

Yes, you can pre-pack your goods and have our crew load the cartons and large furniture only. Keep in mind that we will not accept the liability on owner packed cartons so we suggest that if you have any owner packed cartons that are sensitive in nature/fragile that you move them yourself.

5) Will the crew wrap my furniture?

Yes, our crews will use cloth pads to protect all furniture items during transit, unless you specifically request them not to.

6) Are the packing materials included in the rate?

Packing materials are not included in the hourly rate. They will be quoted as a separate item on your estimate. You will be billed on the actual material used during your move.

7) Is there any protection from damages if the crew drops something?

Our liability is limited to $0.30/pound per article.

8) When do I pay for the move?

Your charges are due at the completion of your move. Our crew will require payment in full before leaving the job site unless prior payment arrangements have been arranged.

9) Will my final charge include the crew's drive time?

Yes, your final charge will include the round trip drive time from our facility to your residence.

10) What if there is traffic? Will I have to pay for their time in traffic?

Yes, you will be charged for the time our crew is driving in traffic. Unfortunately we cannot anticipate delays caused by traffic in advance, but we attempt to give you a fair estimate of the drive time we are usually faced with driving to and from your area.
