Do you charge extra for stairs, elevators, or long carries?
No. Stairs, elevators, and long carries don’t come with separate charges. Because we bill by the hour, they only add time, and we estimate that time in writing before you book. That’s how our pricing stays transparent, with no hidden fees on moving day.

How is the cost of a local move calculated?
The cost of a local move is usually based on hourly rates, the number of movers, and the time required to complete the job. Factors like stairs, distance, and heavy furniture can also affect the final estimate. We always provide clear moving quotes before the move starts.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Double Move is fully insured, and every move includes basic coverage for your belongings at $0.60 per pound per item, the minimum required by California law. Our crews wrap and secure everything to reduce risk, and we’ll explain the coverage in your estimate before you book.
Do I need to pack everything myself?
No, you don’t need to pack everything yourself. We offer packing services and moving assistance for full or partial packing. Our packing crew can handle fragile items, furniture, and household goods if needed.
What if my move runs longer than estimated?
If your move takes longer than estimated, the additional time is simply added based on hourly moving rates. We always communicate clearly during the process so there are no surprises. Our goal is to keep your move organized and transparent.

Yes, our movers regularly handle stairs, elevators, and long carries in apartments and houses. We come prepared with the right equipment to safely move furniture in any building conditions. This is common for our apartment movers and local moving services.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A $200 deposit confirms your moving date and arrival window. If you cancel at least 48 hours before your move, it’s refunded. With less notice, it becomes non-refundable, but we’ll do our best to reschedule your move instead.
