Size of Your Home
More stuff means more time and more movers. A studio apartment takes a lot less time than a 4-bedroom house.
- • Studio/1-bedroom: 2-4 hours
- • 2-bedroom: 4-6 hours
- • 3-bedroom: 6-8 hours
- • 4+ bedroom: 8-12 hours or more
Distance
Local moves within the Treasure Valley are charged by the hour. Long-distance moves are typically based on weight and mileage.
- • Local (within 50 miles): Hourly rate
- • Long-distance: Weight + mileage based
- • Drive time between locations affects total hours
Crew Size
Bigger crews work faster but cost more per hour. We'll recommend the right size crew based on your needs.
- • 2-person crew: Smaller apartments, minimal furniture
- • 3-person crew: Most common for houses
- • 4+ person crew: Large homes, tight timelines
Complexity
Certain things take extra time and care, which can add to the overall cost.
- • Stairs, elevators, long carries
- • Heavy or bulky items (pianos, safes, large furniture)

- • Tight spaces, narrow doorways, tricky access
- • Packing services (if you need us to pack for you)
