Local Moving Pricing & Flat-Rate Estimates

When you hire us, you’re paying for full-service local moving:

• The truck

• Our in-house moving team (not subcontractors)

• Fuel

• Moving equipment (dollies, padding, shrink wrap)

• Disassembly and reassembly of bedroom furniture

There are three common pricing methods in the industry:

1. Hourly rate

2. By weight

3. Binding estimate (flat rate)

We use the binding estimate approach. You get one clear, upfront price—no surprises, no clock-watching.

Your quote only changes if your inventory changes significantly (like adding a whole extra room after the walkthrough).

What Determines Your Cost?

We don’t charge by time or weight. We calculate cost based on:

• The size of the moving truck

• How much space your items occupy (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full truck)

Example: If you’re moving out of a small apartment, you might only need half of a 26-foot truck. A full home might require a larger or fully loaded truck.

Not Sure What You Need?

That’s normal. Most customers aren’t sure what truck size fits their home. We offer free in-home estimates so one of our pros can assess your move and give you a recommendation—no obligation.

Basic Guide:

• 1–2 bedroom apartment: fits in a 16-ft truck

• 3-bedroom home: fits in a 26-ft truck

After the visit, we provide a written estimate that includes everything you need:

• Truck

• 2–7 movers

• Fuel

• Equipment

• Furniture disassembly and reassembly

• One trip

Note: Long walks, stairs, extra stops, or additional trips may slightly affect pricing, but we always tell you up front.

What’s Included in Your Price?

Your quote covers everything for a standard, one-trip move:

• Truck and crew

• Shrink wrap and moving pads

• Dollies and equipment

• Fuel

• Furniture disassembly/reassembly

• Basic NYSDOT insurance ($0.60 per pound, per item

We also offer optional full-value protection with a $500 deductible.
