Pricing

What it costs.

You get one flat price before we start — no hourly clock, no fuel fees, no upcharges. 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.

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
"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."

Our promise

What you can count on.

Every job comes with the same four promises, so you know what you're getting before we knock.

Nothing to negotiate on the day

You know the full price before we lift a box. If stairs or tight access affect the job, we flag it while quoting — never after we've started.

On time, or we make it right

We show up inside your window ready to work. On the rare day we run late, you hear it from us first — not from an empty driveway.

Licensed & insured

Fully insured crews, with same-day COIs at no charge when your building asks for one.

Careful with your stuff

We pad and wrap your things and treat your floors, neighbors, and elevator like they're our own.

FAQ

Small Movers & Studio Moves questions, answered

Do you have a minimum for small moves?

No 3- or 4-hour minimums. If your move is 90 minutes on the truck, that's what you pay for. Flat rates are the norm; hourly is capped honestly.

Can two movers handle a studio?

Almost always. If your piece list has anything heavy (piano, safe, sleeper sofa) we'll flag it in the quote and adjust crew size.

How fast can you move a studio?

Most studios load and unload in 2–3 hours door to door within the DMV.
