Whole houses are the other half of our week
Apartments fill plenty of days, but we pack out full homes across Hopkins County just as often, and none of them run the same. A Madisonville brick two-story is nothing like a Nebo ranch, and a farmhouse down a soft gravel lane toward White Plains is its own puzzle again.
Before a thing is lifted, the crew reads the approach — door widths, how many flights, how steep the drive climbs, and whether a rain-soaked farm lane keeps the big truck out at the road. Travis Wells scouts the tight carries and long antiques with you up front.
The homes we plan around
On the older streets near downtown Madisonville and Earlington, hand-carrying is just how it goes — short stoops, stair runs, no driveway to back into — so we take the nearest legal curb and walk each piece up. Out in the newer subdivisions there’s driveway enough to back right to the door. Want it boxed too? See full-service packing.
Typical home-move price bands
| Home | Crew | Flat price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed condo or flat | 2 movers | $400 – $610 |
| 2-bed house or townhome | 2–3 movers | $700 – $1,080 |
| 3-bed single-family | 3 movers | $1,160 – $1,820 |
| 4-bed or larger home | 3 movers | $1,900 – $3,000 |
| Steep gravel drive or long stair carry | 3–4 movers | $2,300 – $3,400 |
By the hour that works out to $128 with two movers and $178 with three, but whatever you sign up front holds no matter what. Every load is protected to $1,000,000, the standard sixty-cent-per-pound released-value rate applies at no cost, and claims can be filed for a full nine months. Buying the next house before this one closes? Short-term storage covers the overlap, billed by the week.
What the flat price includes on a Manitou, KY move
- Before a single item moves, the crew walks the route, measuring doorways, counting stair flights, and judging whether a steep or muddy drive keeps the truck out at the street
- Corner guards go up on the jambs and mats run along the floors, so neither home picks up a scuff
- We take beds, sectionals, dining sets and wall units apart, lay them flat for the ride, and stand them back up at the door
- Hanging clothes ride upright in wardrobe cartons, ready to go straight back on the rod with no refolding
- Fridges, gun safes and anything headed up a flight go on heavy-duty dollies with stair straps
- Every piece lands where you want it, and the whole load carries $1,000,000 in coverage
So — what will it come to?
Two movers and the truck run $128/hr on the meter — or set the whole job on one signed Hopkins County flat rate written out across a single page
That rate already carries the furniture blankets, the hand trucks, the rolls of shrink film and the slow, careful carries a small-town condo or an Earlington walk-up demands — along with any COI a Madisonville apartment block or a rural HOA needs filed before load-day. A third mover brings it to $178 an hour.
