Why two Richardson moves with the same size home can cost different amounts. It usually is not the square footage. A one story home where the truck parks right at the driveway moves fast. An apartment near UT Dallas with a reserved elevator window, or an office move inside the Telecom Corridor with a loading dock schedule, takes more coordination. Access changes the price more than room count does. Tell us your street and your parking situation when you request an estimate.
How you pay. Our rates are generally quoted with a cash or check discount. We accept credit cards, but the discount does not apply to card payments. A service deposit is due at booking. Your written estimate is what counts.
