Crawlspace and under the house — Kansas City moves
Boxed at the access. We will not belly-crawl for loose gear. How we treat a Kansas City crawlspace on moving day — not the attic pull-down and not a basement stair.
Attic pull-down is the hatch above. Shed contents is the yard building. Raytown ranch and basement is a finished flight. This page is under the house: boxed at the access. We will not belly-crawl for loose gear. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. A few cartons at the door can sit in that band. An unboxed crawl and a mud access will not. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR].
At the door, not in the dirt
- Boxed and at the access — not scattered on the vapor barrier
- We will not crawl for a single tote under the joists
- What stays: a sump, a bolted tank, the house itself — what you are not taking
- Fuel and chemicals off the truck — what not to put on the truck
- Photos of the opening and the pile — photos that get a written price
Packing per box if you want us on the paper: standard $10–20, wardrobe $25–30, dish pack $30–40. A crawl is not a wardrobe. Labour only still needs it at the door — labour-only. Thin first — how to thin out. A cleanout of a dead crawl is the cleanout page — when a cleanout is the job. Playset refusal stays a refusal — playset and trampoline.
The opening is the stair
A low door is a turn — stairs and tight turns, furniture that will not turn. We pad what is furniture if it actually comes out — how we pad and wrap furniture. Floors inside: how we protect floors and rails, doorway and banister. A long carry from the side yard: long carry and shuttle. Two people may need a third for weight at a low door — when you need a third, how we staff three. A washer that lives in a real basement is the appliance page — basement washers, washer and dryer.
A safe under the house is still a safe — safes, safes and gun safes, gun cabinet vs gun safe. We will not invent an insurance figure for a rusty bin. White glove is the house, not a crawl — white glove, white glove vs standard. Outdoor leftover: outdoor furniture and grill. Garage: garage, workshop.
Mud, ice, and a closed door
Rain into an open crawl: rain and ice. Ice at the access: winter moving day. Heat and a sealed hole we open at noon — July and August. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long we will not start a belly-crawl at 4pm — what we do if it runs long. A tip is not a crawl — tipping. Weekend vs weekday: weekend vs weekday. Month-end: month-end. Same-day: same-day. After the form: after you request a price.

Frequently asked questions
Will you crawl under the house?
No. Boxed at the access. We will not belly-crawl for loose gear.
Is this the attic page?
The attic is the pull-down. This page is under the house. Read both if you have both.
A finished basement.
That is a stair and a room. See Raytown ranch and basement washers. This page is a crawl.
Mud at the door.
Say so. That is a path. We still will not crawl for loose totes.
Can labour-only include the crawl?
No. Labour only is still our labour. We will not belly-crawl.
Box it. Leave it at the door.
Two ZIP codes and where the access sits. We will write the crawl as boxed weight, not as a crawl.
