How It Works

How HelpMove Estimates Your Move

We combine room-by-room cubic footage with the same variables professional movers use to scope a job — so your range reflects reality, not a flat per-room average.

01

Inventory & Volume

You tell us what's moving, room by room. We convert that into cubic footage using standard item-size references — the same numbers movers use to size a truck.

02

Move Type & Distance

Local hourly pricing and long-distance weight-plus-mileage pricing work completely differently. Your estimate reflects which model applies to your move.

03

Access & Complexity

Stairs, elevators, long carries from truck to door, and garage density all affect labor time — and labor time is most of what you're paying for.

What You'll Get

A Planning-Grade Range, Not a Single Fake Number

We show you a range on purpose. Anyone who gives you one precise number without seeing your inventory is guessing — or setting up a bait-and-switch.

Why Your Range May Widen Stairs, narrow hallways, unusually heavy items (pianos, safes, gun cabinets), and tight parking access all add labor time that a basic inventory list can't capture. Mention these specifically when you talk to movers — it's the fastest way to keep a quote accurate.
