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, long carries, and access fees disclosed upfront
  • If we finish early, you don't pay more
  • Same-day COIs and building protection included

What's included

Everything's in the price.

Plenty of crews quote low and then bill the wrap, the stairs and the extra hour separately. We give you one number for the whole job. Here's what sits inside it.

The short version

No add-ons at the end of the day.

Hourly movers bill most of this line by line. With us it's already inside your flat quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

  • Flat price written down before move day

    Locked

  • Truck, fuel, dollies, blankets and shrink wrap

    Included

  • Furniture taken apart and put back together

    Included

  • Same-day certificate of insurance for your building

    No charge

  • Stairs, long carries and elevator booking

    Included

  • Text updates from the quote through the last box

    How we work

  • $50 credit toward your job

    Yours to claim

Price transparency

What jobs typically start at.

Real ranges, not a mystery. Your quote is one flat number confirmed in writing before move day — no hourly meter, no day-of renegotiation.

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 (about $25 per flight), long carries, no nearby parking, and shared or slow elevators.

  • Distance

    Local jobs stay flat. Long-haul adds transparent per-mile drive time and fuel, shown before you book.

  • Timing

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

What never shows up on your bill

  • No hourly overtime — finishing late is on us
  • No fuel or travel surcharge on local jobs
  • No surprise stair, wrap, or blanket fees
  • No card fee, and no charge to reserve your date

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.

Our promise

Four promises we put money behind.

Anyone can say "no hidden fees." 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.

Licensed, 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.

We break it, we make it right

Everything gets padded and wrapped. If we damage something, you file a claim in your portal and we pay for the repair or the replacement.

Live Thumbtack reviews for Lift & Chill Moving
"I seriously couldn't recommend him enough. He was a complete gentleman and I couldn't be more grateful for his help. I had a tasker cancel last minute and he reached out to his network and got another guy to help us move. Very bright, attentive, and offered countless suggestions that made the move so much easier."
Sarah, Petworth · Help Moving · via TaskRabbit
