We keep the menu short on purpose. Five core services cover almost every move we get called for across Jefferson and Shelby County, from a one-bedroom over the mountain in Homewood to a full four-bedroom house out toward Trussville. Each one is priced the same way: we look at what you’ve got, write down a number, and that’s the number.
Local Moving in Birmingham
In-town moves billed at $115/hr for a two-mover crew and truck, or $155/hr for three movers. Pads, dollies, and hand tools are already on the truck. We know the steep driveways of Highland Park and the tight Five Points stairwells.
Long-Distance Moving from Alabama
Leaving the state? Flat-rate quotes start at $1,850, binding and in writing, on our own dedicated truck. Your shipment isn’t pooled with strangers’ furniture — it loads, drives, and unloads on one Earls truck with our crew.
Apartment & Condo Moving
Lakeview lofts, Southside walk-ups, the newer condos downtown — we handle the certificate of insurance, the freight elevator window, and the loading-dock rules so the building manager stays happy.
Packing and storage, when you need them
Not every move is just lift-and-carry. Sometimes the boxes aren’t packed and the new place isn’t ready. We cover both without sending you to a third party.
Full-Service Packing
Full-pack starts at $340 for materials and labor, and partial packing is on the table if you just want the kitchen and the artwork done right. Same crew packs and moves, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Short-Term Storage
Climate-controlled vaults from $45 a month, useful when a closing slips or a lease gap leaves you between homes. Birmingham summers are hard on furniture in a hot garage; our vaults are cooled.
One price, one crew
Whatever you book, you get a flat written price locked before we lift a box, a $89 deposit applied to your total, and the same named crew start to finish. Up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment.
What every service includes
The basics don’t change job to job. Here’s what comes standard on any Earls move:
- Furniture pads, dollies, straps, and tools already loaded on the truck
- A written, walked-through estimate before move day — not a phone guess
- Disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables, and standard furniture
- Our own uniformed W-2 crew — never day labor or a subcontractor
- US DOT/MC and Alabama PSC authority kept current; bonded and insured
- $0.60/lb released-value coverage standard, with full-value protection available
Not sure which service fits? Call Earl’s office at (888) 711-4778 and Brenda or Wade will sort it out in a few minutes. We’ll tell you the honest number, even if it’s smaller than you expected.
