How are moving cost calculated?

In an attempt to make you even more comfortable with your upcoming move, we want to leave no stone unturned as we explore potential moving fees that you should look out for. Here are some other things that could impact the cost of your move. 

Size of your home 

As illustrated in the chart above, the size of your home/the amount of household goods you have directly affects the cost of your move. The more goods that you need relocated, the more expensive your move will be. This is the main reason why a 3 bedroom home will cost more than someone moving out of a studio apartment. 

Hard to Move Items 

There’s a drastic difference between moving a pile of boxes with kitchenware and the components of your house and having to move a pool table or a hot tub. Quite frankly, not all items are created equally and professional movers can attest to this. If you have a bevy of hard to move items, you can expect it to cost you. 

The Specifics of your Move 

Relocating from Dallas to Las Vegas can come with many layers. Maybe you need storage units because your new place won’t be ready for a month and you need to stay with a friend. Or perhaps you are part of a corporate relocation and details need to be worked out between the moving company and your employer. Whatever the case, your moving needs will increase or decrease the cost of your move. Remember to pay attention to things that can lead to additional fees such as broken elevators or having the movers park too far away from the house due to construction.
