What we move
One crew, one truck, one price. Book the whole move or just the heavy lifting.
Long distance
State to state moves up and down the East Coast with a flat price, a locked delivery window and the same crew loading and unloading.
Packing and unpacking
Full pack, partial pack or a kitchen only pack the day before. We bring the boxes, paper, tape and wardrobe cartons.
Apartments and walk ups
Third floor with no elevator is a normal Tuesday for us. Certificates of insurance sent to your building before move day.
Office and commercial
Nights and weekends so your team works Monday. Desks, cubicles, server racks and file cabinets handled in sequence.
Pianos, safes and specialty items
Uprights, gun safes, pool tables, treadmills and oversized art. Proper straps, skids and crew size so nothing gets improvised.
Why people book us twice
Most moving complaints come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was late, or something got broken. We built the whole operation around not doing those things.

What customers say
Questions we get a lot
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most moves. The last weekend of the month and the first of the month fill up fastest, so book those sooner. We do take same week jobs when a truck opens up, so call and ask.
Do you charge for travel time?
One flat travel fee covers getting the truck to you and back to the yard. There is no separate fuel surcharge and no mileage billing on local moves.
Is my stuff insured?
Yes. Basic carrier liability is included with every move at no cost, and full value protection is available for an added fee. We carry cargo, general liability and workers compensation coverage and can send a certificate of insurance to your building.
What will you not move?
Anything flammable or under pressure such as propane tanks, gasoline, paint and aerosols. We also cannot take ammunition, live plants on long distance trips or perishable food. Ask about safes, pianos, pool tables and gun cabinets, those we handle with the right equipment.
Do I need to empty my dresser drawers?
Clothing can stay in dressers. Take out anything heavy, fragile or liquid such as books, glassware, electronics and jewelry.
How do you take payment?
Cash, card, check or Zelle at the end of the job. Long distance moves are split between a deposit and a balance due on delivery.
