Our local moving services accommodate all home sizes from studio apartments to large family homes. We handle ground-floor to high-rise moves, including coordinating building management requirements, elevator reservations, and parking restrictions. Our teams are experienced with the unique challenges of apartment and condo moves.
Local moves are typically charged by the hour, including travel time to your first location. Most 1-bedroom apartments take 3-4 hours, 2-bedrooms take 4-6 hours, and 3-bedroom homes take 6-8 hours. We provide accurate time estimates during your quote and work efficiently to stay within that timeframe.
Local Moving FAQs
Local moves are typically charged by the hour, with rates depending on crew size and truck needed. A 2-person crew with a truck typically costs $120-$160 per hour, while a 3-person crew costs $160-$200 per hour. Most local moves have a 2-3 hour minimum. Total costs depend on home size: studio/1-bedroom apartments typically cost $400-$800, 2-bedroom homes $800-$1,200, and 3-bedroom homes $1,200-$2,000. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific needs.
We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May through September) and at month-end. However, we often have availability for last-minute moves with just a few days notice. The earlier you book, the more likely you are to get your preferred date and time slot.
Yes! We offer full-service packing where our team packs your entire home, or partial packing where we handle specific rooms or fragile items. We bring all packing materials and supplies. Many customers choose to pack non-fragile items themselves to save money, then have us pack kitchens, artwork, and valuables. Packing services are typically scheduled the day before your move.
All moves include basic carrier liability coverage at no extra charge (typically $0.60 per pound per item). We also offer comprehensive full-value protection where we repair, replace, or reimburse the current market value of damaged items. Most customers choose full-value protection for peace of mind, especially for moves containing valuable items. We can explain all coverage options when you book.
Absolutely! We're experienced with apartment and condo moves including high-rises. We coordinate with building management to reserve elevators, obtain insurance certificates, and comply with move-in/move-out rules. We use protective padding in elevators and hallways, and our crews are efficient to minimize time in shared spaces. We handle all the coordination so you don't have to.
We provide realistic time estimates based on your home size and contents. If the move takes less time, you only pay for actual hours worked. If it takes longer due to unexpected factors (more items than anticipated, access issues, etc.), we discuss this with you and continue at the same hourly rate. Our goal is always to work efficiently while handling your belongings with care. Transparent time tracking means no surprises.
