When you hire Reliable Movers, your quote includes:
There are three common pricing methods in the moving industry:
We use the binding estimate approach. You receive one clear upfront price with no surprises and no clock-watching. Your quote only changes if your inventory changes significantly after the estimate.
Pricing is based on truck size and how much space your items occupy — not by the hour or by weight.
Example: A small apartment may only require half of a 26-foot truck, while a full household may need a larger or fully loaded truck.
After your estimate, we provide a written quote that includes the truck, 2–7 movers, fuel, equipment, furniture setup, and one trip.
Note: Long walks, stairs, extra stops, or additional trips may affect pricing slightly, but we always explain everything upfront before your move.

Jennifer, one of the owners of Reliable Movers, will personally review your moving details, answer any questions, and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate with no hidden fees or surprises.
Estimates are based on the details you provide up front. Common reasons the final price differs from the estimate:
Inventory accuracy: Adding items or underestimating what you have increases weight and cost.
Access fees: Stairs, long carries, elevators, shuttles, or bulky items can add charges not in the original estimate.
Timing: Peak season, weekends, and end-of-month dates often cost more.
Service level changes: Adding packing, storage, crating, or extra stops after booking changes the total
Having a “day of the move” bag put together can come in handy as you’re transferring your belongings from one home to the next. Pack yourself important items like phone chargers, toiletries, cleaning products, a change of clothes, wallet (credit card or cash for payment), and water/snacks to keep readily available should you need them.
Reliable Movers employees are allowed to accept tips from customers after the completion of a move, but they will never ask. If you feel satisfied with the job they did, feel free to tip them whatever you feel is appropriate! Remember tipping is customary. The guys will not complete extra work not outlined in your moving contract for tips. Please do not call the men after the job is completed. Call the office directly.
