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

Pianos are heavy, awkward and easy to damage, and hourly movers charge for every careful minute. Add a staircase and a tight turn, and the price is anyone's guess.

That's a lot of uncertainty for something this valuable.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price before we come, so the stairs and the careful handling 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.
