One flat figure, settled up front
Here’s how a straight quote gets built. Walk us through the start and end points, the floor and any stairs at each end, the date, and the complications, and Renata hands back one price, in writing.
That number is what you owe
A flight of stairs doesn’t move it. A packed garage doesn’t move it. A long carry from the lot doesn’t move it. The miles to Nashville don’t move it.
A rough sense of scale
Your written figure is built around the move actually in front of us, never copied off a rate sheet — but to set expectations:
| Move | Typical figure |
|---|---|
| 2-mover crew | $120/hr (2-hr minimum) |
| 3-mover crew | $160/hr (2-hr minimum) |
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $350–$600 flat |
| 2 bedroom | $700–$1,200 flat |
| 3 bedroom | $1,300–$2,100 flat |
| 4 bedroom | $2,400–$3,600 flat |
| Heavy item (safe, pool table, upright) | quoted on weight and access |
What to have on hand
A fuller picture at the outset means a tighter number coming back.
- Both addresses, with the floor and any staircase at each end
- The date you’ve locked in, or roughly the window you’re aiming at
- A rough room count, plus a note on anything heavy or awkward — a safe, a pool table, or an upright piano quoted on weight
- Whether the building wants a certificate on file or a service elevator reserved for you
- Whether you’ll also want packing, or storage for a spell between closings
Pass it along and the flat figure follows shortly; once it’s on paper, we don’t budge from it. No fuel, stair, or mileage surcharges inside Shelby County — the estimate is the invoice.
