What Affects Moving Cost in Charlottesville
Hours: Most local moves are billed by the hour. The more items, the more floors, and the longer the drive between origin and destination — the more hours.
Stairs: Carrying items down from a third-floor UVA apartment or up to a Pantops home takes more time than ground-floor moves. We factor this in.
Distance: Local moves within Charlottesville and Albemarle County are our specialty. We can also help with short-distance moves to nearby cities like Waynesboro, Staunton, and Crozet.
What you're moving: Standard furniture moves fast. Specialty items — pianos, gun safes, pool tables, hot tubs — require more time and may carry specialty pricing.
