The Clock Keeps Running on Moving Labor
and So Does the UncertaintyLabor-only crews are almost always billed by the hour, usually with a two or three hour minimum. A slow elevator, a long walk to the truck or a heavier load than expected, and you pay for every extra minute.
That's a lot of uncertainty for a crew you hired by the hour.
Red Cat does it differently.
We agree on the price before we start, so you know what the labor costs before the first box is lifted.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate
Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?
Hourly labor is cheap on paper and expensive on the day: a late truck, a slow elevator or a heavy load stretch the hours. We quote the job, not the time it takes.
