Crew size plays a direct role in how long a move takes. Larger crews can often complete the same work in fewer total hours, while smaller crews may take longer depending on layout and access. Because time drives cost, team size decisions affect the final price.
Estimates usually change because the real situation is different than what anyone could fully see ahead of time. People forget garages, patios, sheds, crawl spaces, outdoor furniture, or last-minute adds, and that’s normal. When inventory or access changes, the time changes, and the price adjusts to match reality.
When an estimate changes, it doesn’t mean anyone lied or added surprise fees. It usually means the conditions on move day created more friction than expected, like harder access, less preparation, traffic, or delays. Adjusting to reality is part of doing the job correctly, not a punishment or a tactic.
As a simple rule of thumb, many local moves land near one dollar per square foot of the home you’re moving out of, assuming reasonable preparation and average access. Minimalist and well-prepared moves often cost less, while high-volume or poorly prepared moves often cost more. This is not a quote or a guarantee, just a practical way to plan without guessing.
Everything that goes into the truck belongs to you, and everything that comes out belongs to you. In real life people forget things—garages, patios, crawl spaces, sheds, barns, outdoor furniture. That happens all the time. It’s not malicious. It’s human. When inventory changes, the job changes, and the move adjusts to match reality.

That’s how I run my life and my business. I don’t charge extra fees for nonsense. I don’t hide costs. I don’t take deposits or your credit card ahead of time. I want to earn your trust and earn your money by doing good work first. When the job is done and you’re happy, that’s when payment makes sense.
Pricing and estimates are part of understanding the move, but they don’t stand alone. Crew size, timing, access, and preparation all work together.
