What goes into your price

  • Crew size. Two movers handle most studios and one-bedrooms. Bigger homes move faster, and often cheaper overall, with three to five movers.
  • Hours on the job. The clock runs from when the crew arrives at your pickup until the last item is placed. A 3-hour minimum applies.
  • Drive time. Under California's moving tariff (Max Rate Tariff 4), drive time between your pickup and drop-off is billed as double drive time. You don't pay for our trip to you. Moves within about 5 miles have no travel charge.
  • Stairs, long walks and tight access. These add time, not fees. We plan the crew size around them.
  • Packing. Packing is billed at the same hourly rate, plus the materials used.

Frequently asked questions

Do you give flat rates?

Not for local moves. You pay for the time the move takes, with a 3-hour minimum.

Is there a minimum?

Yes, 3 hours.

Do you charge extra for stairs?

No. Stairs take more time, and time is what you pay for.

Why is cash cheaper?

Card payments carry processing fees, so cash gets our lowest rate.

What don't you move?

Pianos of any kind, pool tables, spas, hot tubs, motorcycles and hazardous materials.

Do you do long-distance moves?

We do in-state California moves. We don't move across state lines.
