FAQs
Do you need to come to my home to give me an estimate?
No. We are a small company dedicated to giving each customer focused attention, and we have found we can work through the details with equal detail by email or telephone. Complete our online estimate form and we will follow up from there.
What areas do you serve?
We are a Philadelphia based company handling residential and commercial relocation within the City of Philadelphia, and we also take on long distance moves. Whether you are moving to Philadelphia or leaving it for another location, we can handle the logistics, and we frequently service New York, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Boston.
Do you offer packing services?
Yes. Packing is usually done the day prior to the move, and our packing crew will pack all items requested so loading goes quickly on move day. We offer full service packing, fragile-only packing, and custom crating, and you can pack some items yourself and leave the rest to us.
How and when do I pay?
Payment is due at the completion of the move. We accept cash, money order, cashier's check, or a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover). Credit card payments carry a 4% service fee, so please budget for that, and we do not accept personal checks.
What is travel time?
Travel time is the time spent getting to and from the job. It is billed at the same hourly rate as your move, and it only applies to jobs that are 15 minutes or more away from our office.
Can you take apart my furniture?
Within reason. It is very common for us to disassemble and assemble beds, dining room tables, and desks. For specialty items such as a grand piano or a 200 year old grandfather clock, we may determine that taking them apart is not reasonable.
Will you move my piano?
Only if it is an upright piano, only first floor to first floor, and at an additional fee.
Do I need a parking permit for my move?
It depends on where you are in the city, and we will determine whether a permit is needed for your move. We are extremely familiar with the arterial streets of Philadelphia, the small back alleys of Center City, and how our trucks fit within the city's confines.
