$200–$800 · Specialty
Gun Safe & Heavy Safe Moving

$150–$450 · Big Appliances
Single Furniture Piece
One sofa, armoire, or sectional across town or up the stairs — wrapped, carried, and placed at a flat binding price, no full-move minimum.
$150–$500 · One Big Thing
Hot Tub & Pool Table Moving
Hot tubs, pool tables, and other oversized specialty items moved with skids, dollies, and a crew that’s done it — the equipment-and-experience job.

Heavy / Awkward Item Move
Treadmills, armoires, marble tables — anything too heavy or awkward for two friends and a pickup. Post a photo and specialty movers bid binding.
$150–$600 · Too Heavy to DIYA piano or a gun safe is not a two-friends-and-a-pickup job — it’s specialized equipment, insurance, and experience, and doing it wrong means damaged floors, doorframes, or backs.

Movers Have Everything You Own in Their Truck.
Hostage loads are up 142% since 2024 — anonymous broker crews vanish when your couch goes missing. Three things make that impossible here:
ID-Verified to Bid
Government ID confirmed by identity before any mover sees your address. No anonymous broker-subcontracted crews loading your life.
Every pro · no exceptionsEscrow-Protected Payment
Your money sits in escrow while the work happens. The pro is paid when you approve the finished job — not before.
