What moves your final quote

  • How much there is

    Item count, bulky pieces (sofas, appliances, pianos), and how much packing is left to do.

  • Access at both ends

    Stairs, long carries, parking and elevators. They're priced into your quote from your photos, so once you approve it nothing changes on move day.

  • Distance

    Local jobs stay flat. Out-of-state moves are hauled by a licensed partner carrier, priced in writing before you book.

  • Timing

    Weekends, end-of-month, and same-day slots run higher. Midweek and mid-month are the cheapest windows.

How the price works

  • —One flat price, confirmed in writing before move day
  • —Finishing late is on us, not billed by the hour
  • —$100 holds your date and comes off your final bill. If we cancel, you get it back; if you cancel, it isn't refunded
  • —Pay by Zelle or cash to skip the 4.2% card and PayPal fee

Ranges are typical DMV job totals and aren't a quote. Send photos or a quick list and we'll text back an exact flat price, usually within 15 minutes.

Why flat rate

Stop watching the clock on move day.

Hourly movers have every incentive to slow down. Flat-rate pricing means we quote the full job upfront, so the crew moves efficiently and you never wonder what the final bill will be.

  • One locked price for the job — no meter running
  • Stairs and carries priced in from your photos, before you approve
  • If we run long, you don't pay more
  • Same-day COIs and building protection included

Our promise

Four promises we put money behind.

These are the things we owe you on every job, and what happens if we miss.

The price you approve is the price you pay

Your flat quote is written down before we lift a box. If we misjudge the job, we eat the difference instead of renegotiating with you in a hallway.

On time, or $50 comes off your bill

We arrive inside your window ready to work. If we're more than 30 minutes late and haven't called you first, $50 comes off the total. You don't have to ask.

Insured and building-ready

Our crews are fully insured and we issue your building's certificate of insurance the same day, free, so paperwork never pushes your date.

If something breaks, we sort it out in writing

Everything gets padded and wrapped. If something gets damaged, file a claim in your portal with photos and we'll resolve it with you in writing.

Areas we serve

We know the DMV.

From DC row houses and walk-ups to Maryland suburbs and Northern Virginia high-rises, our crew handles the parking, loading docks, and tight staircases that come with moving here.

Anywhere inside the Beltway, plus most of Montgomery, Prince George's and Fairfax counties. Not listed?Text us
