When the Clock Keeps Running, So Does the Uncertainty. Hourly apartment moving vs. a flat rate.

Apartment moves are where hourly bills grow fastest: waiting for a freight elevator, carrying down four flights, a loading dock that opens late. On an hourly move, every one of those minutes is yours to pay.

That's a lot of uncertainty for one apartment.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price before moving day, so the elevator wait and the stairs are already in it.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

With hourly movers, the final price depends on how long the job takes. DC-area drivers lost about 62 hours to traffic in 2024, nearly 20 more than the national average (INRIX). On an hourly move, every one of those minutes is on your bill.

How a Flat‑Rate Apartment Move Works in the DMV

A simpler way to move. Clear steps, a flat rate, and a team that shows up ready to work.

  1. A flat-rate quote on a phone and a laptop

    1Get a flat rate.

    Tell us about both buildings: the floor, the elevator, the loading dock and any move-in rules.

  2. A signed flat-rate estimate with a lock

    2Lock in your price.

    E-sign your flat rate, no deposit. It's set before moving day, not by how long the job takes.

  3. Packed moving boxes ready to go

    3Move day.

    Our crew arrives from Rockville, protects the hallways and elevator, and moves you in on your building's schedule.
