Questions, answered

A few things you may be wondering.

What does labor-only moving mean?

It generally means hiring workers for defined physical moving tasks while the customer or another provider supplies transportation. The written estimate should identify the exact labor, equipment, and responsibilities.

Do I need to provide moving blankets and tie-downs?

Do not assume supplies are included. State what comes with your rental vehicle or container and ask the estimate to specify who provides blankets, straps, dollies, tools, and protective materials.

What information is needed for a labor-only estimate?

Provide the task, location, inventory, heavy items, stairs or elevators, carry distance, vehicle or container type, equipment available, parking conditions, and requested start window.
