Marble tops and stone on a Kansas City move
The top comes off. Stone is weight and a crack. How marble sits on a Kansas City stair — we will not guarantee it. Not antiques, not china glass, not a glass table.
Antique furniture and old glue is hide joints and veneer. China cabinet: glass off first is shelves and doors. Slate pool table in a finished basement is rec-room slate, not a dining top. Glass table tops off is the next page. This page is marble, granite, and stone: the top comes off the base before we walk. We will not guarantee it. 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 surprise marble dining top on a walk-up is how that number moves. We do not publish a stone fee here. A third is often the slab, not a hope — when you need a third. 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].
What “top off” actually means
- The slab leaves the base before the landing — not after it cracks — stairs and tight turns
- On edge, padded, not flat under a dresser — how we pad and wrap
- A walk-up is people; a four-wheel stops at the first tread — walk-ups, how we use dollies
- Wet stone on wet treads is a refuse — rain plan for a walk-up
- We will not be your fabricator at dest — what we will not assemble
Be home to say which top is coming and which stays with the house — how to be home. Two doors: who should be at each end. Morning-of: moving-day morning. Dining tables are the usual slab — packing the dining room. Living-room coffee stone is the living room, then this rule — packing the living room. A desk with a stone top: same off-first habit — desk and filing cabinet, home office. Kitchen last does not mean we walk an island top as furniture — kitchen last, how to pack a kitchen. What you are not taking: a glued island stays unless we wrote a take-off — what you are not taking. Furniture that will not turn still applies if the well is short — furniture that will not turn. Antique case under the slab is glue plus stone — name both — antique furniture and old glue. IKEA base under a leftover granite offcut is still particle board — IKEA and particle board.
What we will not do with a slab
We will not guarantee stone. We will not walk an assembled marble table as a dare. We will not set a cracked top and call it a day. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long because the slab was the job, that is still the clock — what we do if it runs long. A third is for weight — how we staff three. Labour only still is not a stone shop — labour-only.

Heat on three flights: heat and a third-floor walk-up. Piano board is a piano — piano board and stair creeper. Slate in a rec room is take-apart pool, not a vanity — slate pool table, pool table moves. Safe up a basement is steel — how a safe comes up a basement. Hot tub over a fence: hot tub over a fence. Keys late: keys late. Closing day: closing day. Origin ready, dest not: origin ready, destination not. Overnight on the truck: overnight on the truck. New construction dest: a slab through an unfinished door is still a slab — new-construction.

What to tell us: marble, granite, quartz, which floor, whether the top lifts off — what to tell us. Week before: what movers need the week before. After the form: after you request a price. Photos of the top, the underside, and the stair: photos that get a written price. Video: video walkthrough. Walk: what a walkthrough looks like. Kids and pets: kids and pets. White glove is more wrap, not a guarantee on a crack — white glove vs standard. Floors and rails: how we protect floors and rails, doorway and banister. Cleaning after we leave is not a polish — cleaning after we leave. Playset is a yard refusal — playset and trampoline. Mirrors are hanging glass — mirrors and framed art.

Frequently asked questions
Will you leave the marble on the table?
No. The top comes off before the landing. An assembled slab on a walk-up is how it cracks.
Is this the antique page?
That page is hide glue. This page is stone. Name both if the buffet has a marble top.
Kitchen island.
Say whether the top lifts off. A glued island is often what you are not taking unless we wrote a take-off.
Will you install it at dest?
We are not a fabricator. We set the top on the base we moved. We will not recut or polish.
Glass table in the same room.
Glass tops off is the next page. Stone is this page. Different break.
Send the top. Send the stair.
Two ZIP codes and whether the slab lifts off. We will write a walk, not a guarantee on stone.
