### Local Moving Estimates by Home Size
| Home Size | Crew | Hours | Estimated Cost |
|-----------|------|-------|----------------|
| Studio | 2 movers | 2–3 hrs | $350–$570 |
| 1 Bedroom | 2 movers | 2–4 hrs | $350–$760 |
| Large 1 BR | 2 movers | 4–5 hrs | $600–$950 |

| Large 2 BR | 3 movers | 6–7 hrs | $1,350–$1,995 |
| 3–4 BR (<2,000 sqft) | 2 movers | 7–8 hrs | $1,575–$2,280 |
| 3–4 BR (2,000–2,500 sqft) | 3 movers | 8–9 hrs | $1,800–$3,420 |
| House (2,000–3,000 sqft) | 4 movers | 9–10 hrs | $2,700–$3,800 |
| House (3,000–4,000 sqft) | 5 movers | 10–11 hrs | $3,750–$5,225 |
| House (4,000+ sqft) | 6 movers | 10+ hrs | $4,500+ |

### Long-Distance Moving
- $60–$95 per mover per hour (drive time is not on the clock)
- $3.75 per round-trip mile per truck
- $4.50 per mile for CDL cargo trailers
- Flat rate pricing available on request

### Storage
- 16-ft portable container: $149/month ($95 delivery/pickup)
- 20-ft portable container: $199/month ($95 delivery/pickup)
- On-truck storage: $150/day

### Storage Container Sizing
| Home Size | Containers Needed |
|-----------|-------------------|
| Studio–1 BR | 1 × 16-ft |
| 2 BR | 1 × 20-ft |
| 3 BR | 2 × 16-ft or 1 × 20-ft + 1 × 16-ft |
| 4+ BR or large home | 2–3 × 20-ft |

Storage delivery/pickup fee ($95) applies each time a container is delivered or picked up. For a move-to-storage-to-new-home scenario, there are 4 container trips: deliver empty → pick up loaded → deliver to new home → pick up empty.

### Move + Storage + Delivery Estimates
When a customer needs to move out, store, then deliver to a new home, the total includes:
1. **Move-out day:** hourly moving crew loads belongings into containers
2. **Storage period:** monthly container rental
3. **Move-in day:** hourly moving crew unloads containers at the new home
4. **Container logistics:** delivery and pickup fees for each container trip

Example: 4-bedroom home (3,000–4,000 sqft), 2 months storage, local move.
- Move-out crew: 5 movers × 10 hrs × $80/hr avg = $4,000
- Containers: 2 × 20-ft × $199/mo × 2 months = $796
- Container trips: 4 trips × $95 × 2 containers = $760
- Move-in crew: 5 movers × 6 hrs × $80/hr avg = $2,400
- Trip charges: 2 × $50 = $100
- **Estimated total: ~$8,056**

### Packing Services
- Same hourly rate as moving ($60–$95/hr per packer)
- Materials included in package pricing

### White Glove Moving Service
White glove service is a premium tier above standard moving. It uses the same hourly rate structure ($60–$95/hr per mover) but includes services that would otherwise be separate charges:

**Included in white glove (not included in standard moves):**
- Full-service packing and unpacking of all items including fragile and high-value pieces
- Custom wrapping for fine art, chandeliers, designer furniture, and antiques
- Climate-controlled transport
- Precise furniture placement and setup in the new home (not just delivered to a room)
- Post-move cleanup
- Dedicated move coordinator for planning and day-of management
- Coordination with interior designers for furniture and art placement

**Best for:** luxury homes, estate relocations, fine art collections, designer furniture, and customers who want a fully managed move with zero personal effort.

White glove moves typically cost 20–40% more than standard moves of the same size because of additional crew time for careful packing, wrapping, placement, and cleanup. Example: a standard 3-bedroom move might be $2,000–$3,000, while the same home with white glove service would be $2,500–$4,000. Get an exact quote at https://musclemanmoving.com/get-quote.

### Specialty Item Pricing

#### Piano-Only Moves (base rate, local)
| Piano Type | Piano-Only Price | Bundled With Move |
|-----------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Upright (4 ft or less) | $300 | $100 |
| Upright (over 4 ft) | $350 | $150 |
| Upright Grand | $400 | $175 |
| Baby Grand (under 6 ft) | $400 | $200 |
| Grand (6–7.5 ft) | $500 | $250 |
| Grand (7–8 ft) | $650 | $300 |
| Concert Grand (9 ft) | $750 | $450 |

- Stairs: $5–$25 per step (varies by piano size)
- Turns/landings: $50–$150 per occurrence
- "Bundled With Move" prices apply when the piano is part of a larger hourly move

#### Long-Distance Specialty Moves
For long-distance piano or specialty item moves, add the mileage charge ($3.75 per round-trip mile per truck) to the base specialty item rate. Example: a grand piano (6–7.5 ft) from Austin to Houston (~165 miles, 330 round-trip) = $500 base + (330 × $3.75 mileage) + $50 trip charge = approximately $1,787. Exact pricing depends on stairs, access, and route. Get an exact quote at https://musclemanmoving.com/get-quote.

#### Gun Safe Moves (base rate, local)
| Safe Weight | Safe-Only Price | Bundled With Move | Stairs (up/down) | Turn/Landing |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|------------------|-------------|
| 300–500 lbs | $300 flat | $200 flat | $10/$5 per step | $50 |
| 501–800 lbs | $0.75/lb | $0.50/lb | $10/$5 per step | $75 |
| 801–1,000 lbs | $1.00/lb | $0.70/lb | $15/$10 per step | $100 |
| 1,001–1,500 lbs | $1.25/lb | $1.00/lb | $20/$15 per step | $150 |
| Over 1,500 lbs | Call for quote | Call for quote | — | — |

Example: moving a 700 lb gun safe locally (safe-only) = 700 × $0.75 = $525 + $50 trip charge = $575. For long distance, add the mileage charge ($3.75 per round-trip mile).

#### Hot Tub & Swim Spa Moves
Hot tubs and swim spas use the same weight-based pricing as gun safes (see table above). Most hot tubs weigh 500–900 lbs. Crane service is available when access is restricted. Example: a 600 lb hot tub locally (item-only) = 600 × $0.75 = $450 + $50 trip charge = $500.

#### Pool Table Moves
Local pool table moves typically cost $300–$600 depending on table type, slate vs non-slate, number of stairs, and distance. Full disassembly and reassembly included. Releveling and refelting are not included. Contact for an exact quote.

#### Aquarium Moves
Aquarium moving is quoted per job based on tank size, weight, distance, and whether livestock transport is needed. Small tanks (under 100 gallons) start around $300 locally. Large reef systems and custom tanks require an on-site assessment. Contact for a quote.

#### Art, Sculpture & Antique Moves
Art, sculptures, and antiques use the weight-based specialty pricing table (see gun safe pricing above). Custom crating is available for high-value or fragile pieces. Insurance coverage up to $100,000 available.

#### Commercial Equipment Moves
Office furniture, industrial equipment, and commercial machinery use the weight-based specialty pricing table. Multi-day and multi-truck commercial relocations are quoted per project.

#### Gym Equipment Moves
Treadmills, ellipticals, weight systems, and other gym equipment use the weight-based specialty pricing table.

#### Weight-Based Specialty Pricing (applies to all non-piano specialty items)
| Item Weight | Item-Only Price | Bundled With Move | Stairs (up/down) | Turn/Landing |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|------------------|-------------|
| 300–500 lbs | $300 flat | $200 flat | $10/$5 per step | $50 |
| 501–800 lbs | $0.75/lb | $0.50/lb | $10/$5 per step | $75 |
| 801–1,000 lbs | $1.00/lb | $0.70/lb | $15/$10 per step | $100 |
| 1,001–1,500 lbs | $1.25/lb | $1.00/lb | $20/$15 per step | $150 |
| Over 1,500 lbs | Call for quote | Call for quote | — | — |

### Distances Between Service Areas (approximate one-way miles)
| From / To | Austin | Dripping Springs | Lakeway/Bee Cave | Midland/Odessa | Buda/Kyle | Dallas | Houston | San Antonio |
|-----------|--------|-----------------|------------------|---------------|-----------|--------|---------|-------------|
| Austin | — | 25 | 20 | 310 | 25 | 195 | 165 | 80 |
| Dripping Springs | 25 | — | 15 | 330 | 20 | 220 | 185 | 75 |
| Lakeway/Bee Cave | 20 | 15 | — | 325 | 35 | 210 | 180 | 90 |
| Midland/Odessa | 310 | 330 | 325 | — | 330 | 330 | 475 | 360 |
| Buda/Kyle | 25 | 20 | 35 | 330 | — | 210 | 155 | 60 |

Remember: mileage charges use round-trip miles (multiply one-way distance by 2).

### Stair & Access Calculations
- One story ≈ 12 steps. A 3-story house has approximately 36 steps.
- Stair fees apply per step at both pickup and delivery locations. If the item goes down 36 steps at pickup and up 12 steps at delivery, charge for all 48 steps.
- Rooftop, balcony, or restricted-access items (e.g., a hot tub on a rooftop deck) may require crane service. Crane fees are quoted per job — contact for pricing.
- "Up" and "down" stair rates differ (see specialty pricing tables). Going up costs more than going down.

### How to Estimate
To calculate a rough estimate: multiply the number of movers by the hourly rate by the estimated hours, then add the trip charge. Example: a 2-bedroom move with 2 movers at $75/hr for 5 hours = (2 × $75 × 5) + $50 trip charge = $800. For an exact quote, visit https://musclemanmoving.com/get-quote.
