Pricing
What it costs.
You get one flat price before we start — no hourly clock, confirmed in writing. Only three things move the number, and you hear about all of them while we're quoting: how much there is, how hard it is to get to (stairs, walk-ups, long carries), and how far apart the stops are.

What DMV customers say
"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."
"Responded quickly to my request and arrived early. Thanks to him, I'm able to decorate for the holidays without being exhausted. He moved all of my items and adhered to all of my requests! I'd definitely hire him again."
"Amazing! Friendly, quick, communicative. Helped me out so much by being able to get the job scheduled on short notice!"
"Very pleasant, courteous young man. He worked quickly. I live on the third floor, no elevator. He didn't complain, or even take breaks. I highly recommend him."
"Helpful, accommodating and very smart! If you need something done right this is your guy!"
"Made things extremely easy. He communicated very well and was on time. Handled my items with care and got things to my place in a timely manner. Will definitely use again."
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.

FAQ
Moving Help & Labor-Only Movers questions, answered
How much is labor-only moving help?
Two movers start at $120/hr with a 2-hour minimum. Three movers run about $170/hr. Padding, dollies, and straps are included.
Do you supply padding for my rental truck?
Yes, we bring pads and shrink wrap for the load. Rent pads from U-Haul only if you want them left in the truck at drop-off.
Can you load a PODS or U-Box container?
Absolutely. Tight, weight-balanced loading is our specialty; we pack containers so nothing shifts on the long haul.
Is there a minimum for moving help?
Two hours. If the crew finishes early you're only billed the two-hour minimum, not a padded four-hour block.
How many movers do I need to load a 16-foot truck?
Two movers handle most one-bedroom loads in two to three hours. For a two-bedroom, a full container, or a building with a slow freight elevator, three movers usually costs less overall because the clock runs shorter.
Can you meet me at a storage facility?
Yes, public storage sites across DC, Silver Spring, Rockville, Arlington, and Alexandria. Tell us the gate hours and unit floor and we plan carts and elevator time into the booking.
