Guest house moving
Here is how guest house moving actually runs with us, written out before you call rather than explained on the day. A coordinator surveys the job, we put one price in writing, we protect the route and the piece, we photograph condition before the first lift, and we place everything where you want it.
What is included
- Pre move survey by phone, photo, or video walkthrough
- Crew and truck sized to the home, named in the quote before you book
- Flat rate quoted in writing, nothing due up front
- Blankets, shrink wrap, straps, and corner protection on every piece
- Floor runners, door jamb protectors, and railing protection at both addresses
- Beds, sectionals, and tables disassembled and reassembled
- Placement in the room of choice, then packaging and debris taken away
What is not included
- Packing of loose personal items unless you add packing to the job
- Electrical, plumbing, or gas work that requires a licensed trade
- Cleaning after the move
- Storage, unless arranged as a separate booking
How to prepare
- Empty dressers of anything loose or breakable; clothing can usually stay
- Measure the tightest doorway, gate, or stairwell on the route
- Book the elevator or reserve the parking if the building requires it
- Set aside anything you want to carry yourself and tell the crew on arrival
How we protect it
Protection goes down before anything is lifted: runners on the floor, jamb protectors on every door on the route, guards on corners and railings. The item is blanket wrapped, then shrink wrapped over the blanket so the wrap never touches a finished surface, then strapped to a dolly or skate sized for it. On a whole home we walk the route first and lay protection along it end to end, because the damage on a house move almost always happens to the house rather than to the furniture.
Crews on this work have completed the Common Movers Certification, including the property protection and specialty handling modules. Read the curriculum.
guest house moving, answered
How much does guest house moving cost?
One flat rate, written down before anything moves. A coordinator reads the photos and the two ZIP codes, sizes the crew, and sends one number. Not a range and not an hourly meter. Nothing is due up front: you pay after you have walked the rooms with us.
What if the access is difficult?
Tell us before the day and send photos. Side gates, spiral staircases, low clearances and third floor walk ups are most of what we do. A coordinator will say honestly whether it can be done, and the quote reflects the real route rather than a guess.
Can you do it today?
Sometimes. We hold crews back for same day work. Call or text (877) 657-0555 rather than filling in the form, because a person can staff it faster than an inbox can.

Two ZIP codes and a photo is enough to start. A coordinator reads it and comes back with one number, in writing.
