Building Access
Elevators, long hallways, loading docks, and stairs can add time to a move.
Packing Quality
Well-packed and labeled boxes load faster and help keep your total hours down.
Travel Distance
Longer drives between locations and heavy traffic can increase the total time.
Special Items
Large, fragile, or tricky items may require extra protection and handling.
Elevator / Time Windows
Strict loading dock windows or shared elevators can slow the process down.

Pricing FAQ
No. Our pricing is based on an hourly rate, a clear minimum, and a travel fee that we disclose upfront. If there are parking costs, tolls, or building fees, we’ll let you know before your move so there are no surprises.
For most local moves, the clock starts when the crew arrives at your origin address and stops when the last item is placed at your destination. Travel to and from our base is built into the travel fee rather than the hourly billable time.
Yes. To secure your date and crew, we typically require a 50% deposit based on the minimum hours and travel fee quoted. The remaining balance is due at the end of the move.
We accept major payment methods commonly used for local moves such as Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, and other options discussed when you book. Details are provided in your confirmation message.
In some cases, yes – especially for small, clearly defined jobs (like simple furniture delivery). Most moves are best billed hourly because factors like elevator wait times, walking distance, and packing quality can change how long a job takes. If you prefer a flat rate, mention it in your quote request or Call/Text 202-350-0220 and we’ll let you know if a fixed price is possible for your move.
Our goal is to provide the most straightforward and predictable moving company pricing in the DMV, so you always understand your costs before booking.
