How to be home for the Kansas City crew

Someone with keys at both ends. A path we can walk. We will not wait in the drive. How to be home for a Kansas City moving day — not who sits at each address.

Moving-day morning is the clock. Kids and pets is who stays out of the stair. Who should be at each end is the next page. This page is you: home, keys in hand, a path we can walk. We will not wait in the drive. 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. Waiting on a locksmith is how that number moves. What changes the price.

What we will not do from the curb

We will not guess a gate code. We will not wait on “they are five minutes out” as a plan. We will not start a load with no adult on site. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long because nobody was home, that is still the clock — what we do if it runs long. A third is for weight, not for a missing key — when you need a third, how we staff three. A tip is not a wait — tipping. Labour only still needs you there — labour-only.
