Moving help, priced up front

Every job gets one flat price before you book. Pick a service to text us the details.

What's included

You get one flat price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front.

  • Loading, transport, and unloading
  • Moving blankets and wrapping to protect furniture while we carry and transport it
  • A walk-through with you before we start
  • The truck, for moves, junk removal, and pickup and delivery

Let us know if your building requires additional protection so we can plan it with your quote.

What shapes your price

  • How much you're moving and how large the pieces are
  • Stairs, elevators, parking, and how far we carry at each address
  • Distance between addresses and any extra stops
  • The crew and truck size the job needs
  • Packing, furniture disassembly or assembly, and items that need special handling

Your quote lists the items or work, the service, where the job is (pickup and drop-off locations for a move), the access, and the work included. If you add or change something, we agree on an updated price with you before doing the extra work. The price doesn't go up just because the agreed job takes longer than expected.

How booking works

  1. Text us the details

    Your date, where the job is (pickup and drop-off areas for a move), photos or a list of the items, and any stairs, elevators, or parking limits.

  2. Get your flat price

    We reply with one price for the job and list what it covers, such as packing or disassembly.

  3. Reserve your date

    A deposit is required for every booking: $50 for jobs under $1,000. For jobs of $1,000 or more, the deposit amount comes with your quote. Your date is reserved once we confirm availability and your deposit is paid.

    Deposits are non-refundable. You can reschedule with at least 72 hours' notice before your start time without paying another deposit.

  4. Moving day

    We walk through with you before we start, point out any existing damage, and wrap your furniture in moving blankets.

Questions we hear a lot

What's included in a moving quote?

Moving quotes include the crew, a rental truck sized to your move, and loading, transport, and unloading. We use moving blankets and wrapping to protect furniture. Let us know if your building requires additional protection so we can plan it with your quote. Packing, furniture disassembly or assembly, and extra stops are listed on your quote when you need them.

Is the truck included?

Yes for moving, junk removal, and pickup and delivery: we bring the truck and it's part of the flat price. Loading and unloading help is labor only, for when you already have a rental truck, container, or storage unit.

How does flat-rate pricing work?

You get one price for the job before you book. Your quote lists the items or work, the service, where the job is (pickup and drop-off locations for a move), the access, and the work included. If you add or change something, we agree on an updated price with you before doing the extra work. The price doesn't go up just because the agreed job takes longer than expected.

How do I get a quote?

Text 619-800-5798 with your date, the pickup and drop-off areas, photos or a list of your larger items, and any stairs, elevators, or parking limits. You can also call or use the contact form. We reply with a flat price.

Can you do small jobs?

Yes. A few items get their own flat price, so text us even if it's a small job.

Do you handle stairs and elevators?

Yes. Tell us the floor, how many flights of stairs, whether there's an elevator, and whether your building requires you to reserve it, so it's all part of your quote.

Do you move pianos?

We move pianos other than grand pianos. Send photos, the piano type, and access details so we can assess the job and provide a quote. Tell us about stairs, elevators, narrow turns, and where the truck can park at pickup and drop-off.

Can you send a certificate of insurance (COI) to my building?

Yes, on request. Use the with your move date, the building, and the certificate holder or additional insured wording your building needs. We can send the certificate to you or your property manager. Additional insured requests depend on what our insurer approves, so send your building's requirements as early as you can.

How do deposits and booking work?

A deposit is required for every booking: $50 for jobs under $1,000. For jobs of $1,000 or more, the deposit amount comes with your quote. Your date is reserved once we confirm availability and your deposit is paid. Deposits are non-refundable. You can reschedule with at least 72 hours' notice before your start time without paying another deposit.

How far ahead should I book?

As soon as you know your date. Text us to check availability. We can't guarantee same-day or next-day availability, but it's always worth asking.

Do you pack or take furniture apart?

Both can be added to your quote. Tell us which rooms or items need packing and which pieces need disassembly or assembly, and we'll list them on your quote.

How do I pay?

We accept card, cash, and Venmo.
