What else can change the price
- Travel. Plus one flat $99 travel charge to bring the truck to you inside the Austin area. Lake Travis, Highland Lakes and other Hill Country addresses get their travel charge written into the quote before you book.
- Stairs and elevators. No per-flight fee. Stairs and elevator waits take time, and time is what you pay for. The estimator adds the hours for them.
- Heavy and specialty items. Pianos, safes, pool tables and similar items are priced in your written quote after we know what they are.
- Packing materials. Only what we use, listed in the quote. Pads, wrap and wardrobe boxes for move day are included.
- Same-day. Same-day moves depend on crew availability; call first.
Price questions
How do you price a local move?
By the hour for the crew and truck, plus one flat travel charge. The rates and the minimum hours are on the pricing page. After the minimum, time is billed in 15-minute steps.
What is a written not-to-exceed quote?
Texas requires movers to give you a written estimate before loading. Ours is a ceiling: for the inventory and services in the quote, your final bill can be lower but never higher. If you add items or services on move day, we write the change down and you sign it before we do it.
Is there a minimum?
Yes. Crews with a truck and labor-only crews each have a minimum number of hours, listed on the pricing page.
