How a written Summit quote actually works
A guess over the phone helps nobody, and Missouri rules call for a written binding estimate before the truck rolls anyway. So that is how we do it. Megan Reilly either drives over for an in-person walkthrough or runs a video tour with you over your phone — room by room, including the staircase, the basement walkout, the long lakefront driveway out at Raintree, the piano nobody mentioned on the call. From that walkthrough she builds an honest read on crew size, hours, materials, and any specialty handling, then sends the written estimate the same day.
For an in-town move you can take it as hourly — $135 an hour for a two-mover crew and truck, $185 for a three-mover, $235 for a four-mover — or as a flat band tied to home size, whichever feels safer for your situation. For an interstate move to St. Louis, Omaha, Tulsa, or Chicago, the quote is a binding written flat rate starting at $2,340, meaning the figure on the contract is the figure on the final invoice; it does not creep upward because the truck took longer than someone hoped. A $150 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the total.
The whole point of doing it this way is no surprises when the ramp comes down. What Megan put in writing is what we honor, the crew that quoted is the crew that loads, and there is no padded clock or curbside fee at the end of the day. Ready for your number?
