The honest part

What's actually going through your head.

I could just rent a truck and bribe two friends.

You could. By the time you add the truck, mileage, gas, insurance, a dolly, and a full Saturday plus two favors you now owe — a studio move with us usually lands close, and it's done in a couple of hours.

Movers always find a way to charge more.

Flat rate, quoted before we start. No hourly clock, no fuel fee, no 'travel time.' If access changes the price, you hear the number while we're quoting, not while we're loading.

Is a job this small even worth their time?

Small moves are a big chunk of what we do. There's no minimum guilt trip — a single couch or a studio gets the same crew and the same care.

My building has an awful elevator and a loading rule.

Very normal here. Tell us the building and we'll work the reservation window, bring the pads, and issue the COI the same day if management wants one.

Quick answers

Common questions.

What's the smallest job you'll take?
One item. Quick Help starts at $90 for a single lift, a mattress haul, or moving furniture between rooms.
What does a studio or 1BR move usually cost?
From $380 with two movers and a truck — most apartments land in that range. Labor-only, if you've got your own truck, starts at $240.
Do you charge extra for stairs?
If a walk-up adds real work, we tell you what it adds while we're quoting. It never appears for the first time on your final bill.
How soon can you come?
Same-week is normal. Month-end and the first weekend of the month fill up 2–3 weeks ahead, so book early if your lease date is fixed.

One text, one price, done.

Tell us the address, the floor, and roughly what you've got. We'll send a flat number back — usually within 15 minutes.
