Marina-side condos and hillside homes where the entrance is below the street.
Des Moines runs down a hillside to the marina, and a surprising number of homes here have their front door a flight below the road. That means carrying up rather than down at the loading end, which is slower and worth pricing honestly. Marina condos have shared entries and limited guest parking; we reserve what is available with the building rather than gambling on a free spot.
Moving inside Des Moines is priced exactly as anywhere else we work: $155 an hour for 2 movers + truck, a 3 hours minimum, and travel time already inside the rate. There is no Des Moines zone fee and no mileage line on the invoice.
On the quote call we ask three things — how many rooms, how many flights of stairs, and how close the truck can park. Those decide the hours, and the hours decide the price. Everything else is already included: blankets, shrink wrap, floor runners, dollies and straps.
Des Moines is served out of our Washington office in Seattle, WA. Call (720) 343-1229 and you reach the people who dispatch the crew, 7:00 am – 9:00 pm, seven days.
Same hourly rate across all of them — the only thing that changes is how long the carry takes.
$155 an hour for 2 movers + truck, $215 an hour for three movers, with a 3 hours minimum. Travel time is inside the rate, so there is no separate mileage line for Des Moines and no zone fee.
We ask about the approach on the quote call. In Marina District and Woodmont that usually means checking how close the truck can sit to the door; where a building or the city requires a reserved space or a permit, we tell you before the date is booked rather than on the morning.
Neither is charged as an extra. Walk-ups and buildings with a service elevator both get counted as hours on the estimate, because that is what they actually cost. If a building books its elevator in blocks, we reserve one and plan the load around it.
Des Moines is dispatched from our Washington office in Seattle, WA. The drive is already inside the hourly rate — it is not added to the invoice afterwards.
“Quoted $155 an hour, finished in four, charged four. The estimate was the invoice, which is apparently rare in this business.”
“They measured the staircase over video before quoting the piano. Everyone else guessed and added a fee later.”
“Booked Wednesday, moved Saturday, 10am window and they knocked at 10:05.”
“Three movers, six hours, exactly what they said on the phone. No surprises at the end.”
“Our closing moved up and they took the new date without a panic surcharge or any attitude.”
“Wrapped every piece of furniture before it left the house. Nothing arrived with a scratch.”
“The crew carried boxes to the labelled rooms instead of stacking everything by the door.”
“1890s staircase, heavy dresser, zero damage to the plaster. They knew what they were doing.”
“They booked the service elevator with my building. I did not have to chase anyone.”
“Early morning slot so the truck could park in Olde Town. Smart scheduling.”
“HOA loading zone was cleared before they arrived. Thought of everything.”
“Five bedrooms with a full basement. Four movers, done in a day, fair price.”
“Straightforward, polite, fast. Exactly what you want and rarely get.”
“They put the drive time in the quote instead of adding it to the clock.”
