Everything covered in your hourly rate

Furniture wrapping and padding

Every wood, upholstered, and glass piece pre-wrapped before it moves.

Beds, tables, and shelving broken down and rebuilt at no extra charge.

Floor and doorway protection

Runners and corner guards laid before the first box moves.

Final placement

Furniture set exactly where you want it, not just closest to the door.

Is It Time?

Signs it's time to book

Lease ending soon

Most Seattle leases turn over on the 1st, so book 3–4 weeks ahead of a month-end move.

Stairs or a walk-up involved

Multi-flight moves take longer solo than most people expect. A crew changes the math.

Heavy or awkward furniture

Sectionals, dressers, and anything that needs two people to lift safely.

A Local's Guide

What to know before a local move in Seattle

What affects the cost of a local move

Local moves in Seattle are billed hourly, so the total mostly comes down to three things: how much you own, how many flights of stairs or how far the elevator walk is, and how much parking access the truck has on both ends. A studio near street parking moves faster and cheaper than a third-floor walk-up with a half-block carry. We size the crew accordingly during your quote so the estimate reflects your actual building, not a generic average.

Seattle-specific things that change the plan

Hills, narrow streets, and building rules shape almost every Seattle move differently than a suburban one. Streets in Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, and Ballard often require an SDOT temporary no-parking permit to legally reserve curb space for the truck. We file that paperwork for you. Older buildings and walk-ups mean stair time gets built into the estimate up front instead of surprising you halfway through the day, and rain gear is standard equipment on every truck, every month of the year.

How to get your home ready

Boxes packed and labeled by room save real time on the clock. Clear a straight path from your front door to the curb, break down any furniture you can manage yourself, and set aside anything fragile, sentimental, or irreplaceable to travel with you rather than the truck. If you’re not packing yourself, our crew handles all of this as part of the visit. Just point us to the kitchen first.

Time starts when the truck arrives at your first address and ends when the last item is placed at the final address, billed in 15-minute increments after a minimum call-out.

Lightweight clothing can usually stay in place; we’ll flag anything too heavy or fragile to move loaded during the walkthrough.

You’re only billed for actual time worked at the confirmed hourly rate. There’s no penalty rate for running past the estimate.

Yes, weekends are our busiest days, so we recommend booking those slots earliest.

No. Stairs, walk-ups, and reasonable carry distances are built into our hourly rate, not billed as add-ons.
