This calculator gives a rough range based on move sizes we see most often in Phoenix metro. Real estimates require a walkthrough — every job has variables (stairs, parking, packing extent, specialty items) that move the number. Use this to budget; don't use it as the actual quote.

Hidden charges to watch for (industry-wide warnings, not us)
- Fuel surcharge: Some movers add 5-10%. We don't.
- Long-carry fee: Charged if truck parks more than 75 ft from door. Should be in original quote if visible at booking.
- Stair fee: Some movers charge per flight. We don't (it's already in the crew-size selection).
- Fuel/travel time outside metro: Should NOT apply within Phoenix metro. Always ask.
- Heavy item fee: Specialty items (piano, safe, treadmill) are line items in our quote. They should not be "discovered" at the job and charged extra without your approval.
