1. Do overnight moves cost more?
Our pricing follows the job, not the hour: crew size, inventory, and access set the flat written number. Some night moves actually run faster thanks to empty elevators and clear roads. Where a building imposes after-hours security staffing fees, those are the building’s charges and are flagged to you in advance, never invented by us.
2. Can you really move us at 2 AM?
Yes, with crews scheduled for that window rather than stretched into it. Overnight is a normal shift here, not a favor. The crew that starts your 2 AM move began their shift rested, which matters more than any other detail.
3. My building only allows moves after 6 PM. Is that a problem?
It is the most common reason clients find this page. We book the building’s freight window, arrange security access, and run the move entirely inside the allowed hours.
4. How do you keep night moves quiet?
Padded dollies, managed doors, no shouting, and staging that minimizes trips through shared spaces. The goal is that neighbors learn about the move from your goodbye note, not from the hallway. Elevators get padded, corridors get runners, and the move leaves no evidence by morning.
5. Are weekends and holidays available?
Fully. When the only workable date is a Sunday or a holiday, the calendar accommodates it, at the same flat-pricing standard. Holiday demand is lighter than people assume, which makes those dates surprisingly easy to book.
6. How far ahead should I book an after-hours window?
A week or two secures most windows; building-mandated slots can book further out. Call (206) 278-2134 any time, literally, and we will lock the hour.
7. Are night crews licensed and insured the same way?
Identically. Royalty Moving & Storage operates under Washington UBI #605117720 and household goods permit THG070945, around the clock.
