About American Movers Washington, DC

A. We do offer free quotes. Most normal moves can be quoted over the phone. However for larger homes or more complex moves (such as hillside homes, out of town moves, etc.), or jobs where packing is involved, an in home estimate is usually required. However, please keep in mind that an estimate is just an estimate and the actual job could take longer or be shorter if the original circumstances of the job change.

A. On a normal job that entails a full move, there is an hourly charge, and the hourly rate is based upon how many men are on the job (two men, three men, etc.). We do however perform moving jobs on a per piece or flat rate basis. If it only means moving a couple of large items such as moving a safe or piano. The flat rate is based on the circumstances of that particular job.

A. We do not charge extra above and beyond our normal hourly rate for large items or heavy items granted they are part of a regular move and not a flat rate job.

A. There may be a one hour trip time fee that is charged to cover travel time and in most cases fuel. We usually do not charge a fuel surcharge unless it is an out of town move or there is a particularly large amount of driving involved.
