How a TLC written quote actually comes together
Guessing at a moving price helps no one, and Arizona practice calls for a written binding estimate before move day anyway. So that is how Tessa Holcomb does it. She will either come by your place in person for the larger jobs or, more often, run a quick video tour with you over your phone — room by room, including the garage, the back patio, the storage closet under the stairs, and the piano nobody mentioned on the initial call. From that walkthrough she sizes the crew, the truck, the hours, and the materials, then sends the written binding estimate the same business day. Mason walks the heavier quotes himself.
For a local move inside the West Valley you can take the quote as hourly — $145 an hour for a two-mover crew and the 26-foot box truck, $200 an hour for three movers, $260 an hour for four — or as a flat band tied to home size, whichever feels safer for your situation. For a long-distance run to Tucson, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, San Diego, Albuquerque, or Denver, the quote comes back as a binding written flat rate starting at $2,480, meaning the figure on your contract is the figure on your final invoice. It does not creep upward because the haul took longer than someone hoped or the heat slowed the loading. A $175 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the total.
The whole point of doing it this way is no surprises at the curb. What Tessa put in writing is what TLC honors, the crew that wrote the quote is the crew that shows up in our uniforms on move day, and there is no padding the clock or tacking on fees once your things are already on the truck.
