If you are moving across town in Northern Virginia, your move is almost certainly billed by the hour. That is good news, because it means you only pay for the time the crew actually works. It also means the choices you make before the truck arrives have a real effect on the final number.
What sets the hourly rate
The rate comes down to how many movers and trucks your job needs. A two-bedroom condo in Reston is a different animal than a five-bedroom house in Great Falls, and the crew size reflects that. There is a three-hour minimum plus a standard travel fee, and we do not tack on charges for stairs, long carries, or an extra stop.
How to keep the clock short
Be fully packed before the crew arrives, with boxes labeled and stacked by the door. Reserve the elevator or a parking spot if your building needs it. Disassemble what you can, or let us know so we plan for it. Every one of those steps shaves minutes, and minutes are money on an hourly move.
