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

Most packing help is billed by the hour. You get an estimate before the crew starts, but the final price isn't decided until the last box is taped. A full kitchen or a wall of books takes longer than anyone guesses, and you pay for every extra minute.

That's a lot of uncertainty before you've even moved.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price before we start, so you know what you're paying before the first plate is wrapped.

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.

Help with packing

Whole Home or Just a Room

Pack it all, or only the parts you'd rather not do yourself. Before your move with us, or on its own.

  • Whole home

    Every room packed, wrapped and labeled, ready for moving day.

  • Kitchen

    Plates, glasses, pots and pantry, the room that takes longest to pack yourself.

  • Fragile and valuable

    TVs, mirrors, glass, art and lamps, wrapped so they arrive in one piece.

  • Books, closets and garage

    The heavy, awkward or endless parts of a home, done for you.
