Packing help and hard access can change the time and final price. We will review those details with you before providing a quote.
What can change the price
- Stairs, elevators, and parking. Hard access adds time, and time is billed by the hour — there is no separate stairs, elevator, or long-carry fee. Because access changes the total, these moves get a walkthrough quote instead of an online range.
- Packing and materials. Packing help and materials are billed separately from the hourly rate and itemized in your written quote. See our packing services.
- Heavy items. Heavy items cost extra and are priced after we review the item and access.
- Ferry trips. Moves that use a ferry route cost extra.
How fees and tax are handled
Cards are accepted. Any card processing fee and applicable tax are itemized in your written quote before you book. Hard access can add billed time, but there is no separate stairs, elevator, or long-carry fee.
Can the price change after my quote?
It can. Most estimates are non-binding, so the final price reflects actual time on the job plus any approved extras explained in your quote. The ranges on this page are for planning; your written quote will explain what can change.
