A real number starts with one short call
Two addresses, a target date, and whatever access details apply, a Deep Creek flood-zone lot, a flight of stairs, a PCS deadline, are really all Paige needs to build your figure. Once Paige has those answers, she can usually write the number on the same call.
The number Paige gives you is the number you pay
Paige doesn’t hand you a placeholder over the phone, she gives you the figure that ends up on the invoice. Tunnel timing, a flood-zone lot, a PCS deadline, a full haul to Richmond, whatever applies gets priced in before that call ends.
Starting figures to plan around
Treat these as a starting point, not a substitute for a real quote built around your actual job:
| Scenario | Ballpark cost |
|---|---|
| Two movers | $130 per hour, two-hour minimum |
| Three movers | $175 per hour, two-hour minimum |
| Four movers | $225 per hour, two-hour minimum |
| Studio apartment | $440 to $710 total |
| One-bedroom home | $710 to $1,150 total |
| Two-bedroom home | $1,150 to $2,000 total |
| Three-bedroom home | $2,000 to $3,300 total |
| Four-bedroom home | $3,100 to $4,900 total |
| Flood-zone home with crawlspace-access scheduling | Priced individually based on access requirements |
What speeds up your quote
The more Paige knows going in, the faster you get a locked-in figure.
- Both addresses, including any tunnel routing or flood-zone access involved
- A target date or a rough window, plus whether a PCS timeline might affect it
- A rough inventory, flagging anything bulky or oddly shaped
- Any Deep Creek or South Norfolk flood-zone access details
- Whether packing help or short-term storage might be worth adding if your closing date shifts
Once Paige has that, most callers hear a number back the same day, and it holds no matter what move day brings. A local Chesapeake job never picks up a mileage or fuel charge after the fact, your invoice matches exactly what you were told on the phone.
