Understanding a Moving Quote

At Juan & Sons Moving and Delivery Services, planning a move can raise many questions, especially about the cost. Getting a moving quote is one of the first steps to a smooth moving experience.

But what exactly is a moving quote, and how do we calculate it?

Let's break it down in simple, clear terms so you can feel confident and prepared.

What Is a Moving Quote?

A moving quote is an estimate of how much your move will cost. It gives you a clearer picture of what to expect financially, based on the details you provide about your move. It's not just a random number—it's a tailored estimate designed to help you plan and budget accordingly.

Ballpark Quotes vs. Realistic Quotes

We offer ballpark quotes for quick reference. These are rough estimates based on limited information, such as your starting point, destination, and home size. While helpful, they aren't final. An in-home quote is recommended and is free of charge. This quote gives you and us a better understanding of the project's scope.

An in-home quote is always recommended and is more accurate. It's based on a detailed conversation and walkthrough of the home or business, where we assess furniture, stairs, fragile items, and more. This gives you an accurate picture of the move's cost—no surprises later.

How Free Quotes Simplify Your Move

We believe in free quotes because they take the guesswork out of your move. Whether you're relocating across town or the state, getting a no-obligation estimate helps you:

Budget properly
Understand your options
Make confident decisions

It's a simple step that makes a big difference.

How Are Moving Quotes Calculated?

No two moves are the same, and neither are their quotes. Here are some of the key factors we consider:

1. Distance of the Move

Local and long-distance moves are priced differently. Longer trips mean more fuel, time, and planning.

2. Size of Your Home

A larger home usually means more belongings and more time to move everything safely.

3. Total Weight of Your Belongings

For long-distance moves, the weight of your items plays a significant role in pricing.

4. Labor & Time Required

The number of movers needed and how long the job takes can influence your final cost.

5. Fragile or Specialty Items

Moving delicate items like glass tables, artwork, or pianos may require extra protection and care, which is factored into your quote.

6. Move Date & Season

Moving in the summer or on weekends tends to be more expensive due to high demand. Off-season moves can save you money.

Additional Services That Can Affect Your Quote

We also offer a range of optional services that can be added to your move:

Packing Services: Let our pros do the boxing and wrapping to save you time and effort.
Short-Term Storage or Long-Term Storage: Do you need to store your items for a while before moving into your new place? We offer flexible storage options.
