HOW WE WORK THE JOB

A confirmed window. Furniture protected. A written price.

Three things you can hold us to before the truck rolls.

We turn up in the window we wrote

You get a confirmed arrival window before moving day. If the plan has to change, we call you — we do not leave you waiting without a word.

Furniture is padded and wrapped

Twenty years and we still wrap everything. Pads on furniture. Three layers on glass — pads, cardboard, then wrap. We walk the path with you if something does not sit right.

The price is the price

The number we quote is the number you pay, unless you add work on the day and agree it with us first.

THE AWKWARD ONES

The stuff other movers turn down

Twenty years means we've done the difficult jobs enough times to know how they go. Three layers of protection on anything with glass in it — pads, cardboard, then wrap.

What packing actually costs

Most movers won't put a number on the page. Here's ours. Packing is charged per box, so you only pay for what you actually want us to pack — do the bedrooms yourself and let us handle the kitchen if that suits you better.

A typical local move runs $1,200 to $1,500. Full packing on top of that can take it to $3,000 to $4,000 — which is why we'd rather show you the boxes than surprise you.
Standard box
Books, kitchenware, general household
$10–20
Wardrobe box
Hanging clothes, straight off the rail
$25–30
Dish pack
Double-ply, for plates and glassware
$30–40
Boxes and materials included in the price. A typical kitchen is around six or seven dish packs.

How it works

01

Tell us the basics

Two ZIP codes to start. Then when you're moving, how big the place is and what help you want. Call, or message us — we pick it up whatever the hour.

02

Get a real price

A walkthrough in person, or photos and a video if that's easier. You get a clear written price — not a number that moves on the day.

03

We turn up and move you

Same people who quoted the job. Everything padded, wrapped and loaded properly, and put where you want it at the other end.

WHO YOU'RE ACTUALLY DEALING WITH

Hi — I'm Tim.

I've been moving people around Kansas City for twenty years. I quote the jobs, I'm on most of them, and when you ring the number on this page it's me who picks up.

That's the whole difference. There's no dispatcher who's never seen your house, and no crew turning up who weren't told about the piano. The person who priced it is the person doing it.

answers

The things people ask before they book. If yours isn't here, ring and ask.

Most local moves land between $1,200 and $1,500. Add full packing and it can reach $3,000 to $4,000, which is why we charge packing per box — so you can do the easy rooms yourself. From $160 an hour for two movers and a truck.
