Moves across the Old Pueblo

I’m Marco Salazar, and I’ve run the 3 Gorillas crew out of Tucson since 2014. A local job is anything inside Southern Arizona — a Sam Hughes bungalow, a University-area loft, an Oro Valley ranch, a Catalina Foothills hillside home. One uniformed crew handles the loading and the set-down at the other end.

Rates stay plain: $155/hr for two movers and a truck, $205/hr for three, one-hour minimum. Blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap, and tarps ride on every truck. Whatever number Renata quotes gets locked flat in writing before we lift a single box.

Tucson flat-rate examples

Move type Crew Typical flat rate
Studio / 1-bed University-area loft 2 movers $470 – $700
2-bed Sam Hughes or midtown flat 2 movers $800 – $1,200
3-bed Marana or Oro Valley house 3 movers $1,300 – $2,000
4-bed Catalina Foothills home 3 movers $2,100 – $3,300
Foothills hillside carry (any size) 3 movers quoted flat with the grade

Cargo rides at the $0.60/lb released-value standard, with a full-value option and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment if you buy up. You get a 9-month window to file a claim. We hold our own Arizona household-goods authority — nothing for you to chase.

Why a local crew reads it right

Cody on dispatch loads you early to beat the Sonoran Desert heat and any monsoon cell rolling off the Catalinas. Adobe doorways and foothills grades get a real carry plan, not a guess. Heading out of state? See long-distance. Selling before you buy? Short-term storage bridges the gap.

Everything folded into your Tucson, AZ flat rate

  • Two-tier flat-rate quote in writing before we load — no hourly guesswork at the curb
  • The same W-2 uniformed crew from the Tucson load to the set at your new place
  • Pads, dollies, shrink-wrap, and tarps already stocked on every truck
  • Early-start scheduling to beat Sonoran Desert heat and monsoon storms
  • Beds, dining tables, and entertainment centers taken apart and rebuilt
  • Arizona household-goods authority with up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment

So what will it run you?

Two uniformed movers plus the truck run $155/hr on the clock, or lock the meter shut with a signed Southern Arizona flat figure that puts the entire move on one page

Pads, dollies, shrink-wrap and the careful hand-carries a Sam Hughes bungalow or a Catalina Foothills staircase demand are already in the rate, and so is any Certificate of Insurance a downtown high-rise or an Oro Valley HOA needs on file. Want a third mover on the crew? That moves the hourly to $205/hr.

Common questions on this service

Are you a moving company?
Yes — 3 Gorillas Moving is a fully licensed and insured Tucson, AZ moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with Arizona household-goods mover authority plus US DOT and MC authority for interstate.
Is $155 / $205 an hour what I'll actually pay?
Treat it as the starting math, not the final bill. Tell Renata what's on the truck, both addresses, and any tricky access, and she turns it into one signed flat-rate number before we load.
Can you handle a Catalina Foothills hillside carry?
All the time. The crew walks the grade and the approach first, stages on the nearest workable spot, and carries from there — it's built into your flat rate.
How early can you start in summer?
We roll at first light when the heat's coming. An early load beats the worst of the afternoon and any monsoon storm off the Catalinas.

A note from Marco

I started 3 Gorillas Moving back in 2014 on one rule I have never bent: the number we put in writing is the number you pay — no curbside add-ons, ever. Every job rolls on our own trucks with a crew I hired and trained myself.

Whether it is a one-bedroom near downtown Tucson or a full house crossing Southern Arizona, you get the same crew and the same written flat rate every time. That steadiness is what keeps Tucson families handing our name to their neighbors.
