Details that affect the bill
- Get a written estimate. A binding estimate locks the price; a non-binding one can run higher once the actual time or weight is known.
- Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound TV worth $1,000 nets just $12 if it is damaged.
- Movers legally cannot transport hazardous items like propane, gasoline, bleach, or aerosol cans — clear these out of boxes ahead of time.
- Tipping is not required but is customary: budget $4 to $5 per mover per hour, or 15 to 20 percent of the total bill split among the crew.
These figures apply across most local moves in the Flat Rock area, with the total landing higher or lower based on home size and hours worked.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Wayne County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 15% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
