You see other houses moving. Why not yours?

I know WHY. I can TELL you why...

My Rates

Some jobs (swing sets, dryer vents, TV mounts, fans) have fixed prices. See their respective pages.

Everything else falls under this schedule:

The minimum charge is $98, which covers the first two hours.
Then it drops to an hourly rate of $39 per hour, by quarter hours.

Plus, there may be a distance charge. I live near Ross Park Mall. If you live out as far as Monroeville, Cranberry, Robinson, or Mt. Lebanon, there is a service call fee.
