Whole homes, every week

Most of what we do is full households across Southern Arizona, and the housing here is anything but uniform. A downtown adobe in Barrio Viejo with thick walls and tight doorways is nothing like a 1970s ranch in Casas Adobes, and neither is like a Pima County property with a long dirt drive off a wash.

My crews scope access before the truck rolls — doorway widths, hillside grades, gravel approaches, or a gated foothills estate with a narrow motor court. Andre Colby has led our midtown and University-area jobs for years, and he walks the approach with you first.

The housing we plan for

Historic adobe and territorial doorways run narrow — we measure furniture before load day, not on it. County drives past Vail run on dirt and gravel; we tarp the path and shuttle a smaller truck if the 26-footer won’t clear the arroyo. Need boxing too? See full-service packing.

Tucson home flat-rate examples

Home size Crew Typical flat rate
1-bed condo or casita 2 movers $500 – $760
2-bed midtown adobe or flat 2–3 movers $800 – $1,200
3-bed Marana or Sahuarita house 3 movers $1,300 – $2,000
4-bed Catalina Foothills home 3 movers $2,100 – $3,300
Pima County acreage, dirt drive 3–4 movers $2,400 – $3,600

The hourly basis is $155/hr for two movers and $205/hr for three, but the number you sign is flat. Cargo rides up to $1,000,000 per shipment, $0.60/lb released-value standard, 9-month claim window, under our Arizona authority. Selling first, buying second? Short-term storage covers the gap.

Everything folded into your Tucson, AZ flat rate

  • Pre-move walkthrough of doorways, hillside grades, and dirt or gravel access
  • Floor runners and corner guards through both homes
  • Beds, sectionals, dining tables, and entertainment centers taken apart and rebuilt
  • Wardrobe boxes for hanging closets — nothing gets refolded twice
  • Appliance dollies and stair climbers for fridges, safes, and casita gear
  • Placement where you want it, 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

Do you handle narrow-doorway adobe homes?
Regularly. We measure furniture against doorway and hallway widths before load day and break down anything that won't clear a turn whole.
What if my county driveway is a quarter mile of dirt?
We tarp it, and if a 26-footer can't make the approach we shuttle a smaller truck. The shuttle is built into your quote, not an add-on.
Can you move my house in a single day?
Most 3-bed Tucson moves load and deliver same-day. Larger foothills or acreage homes sometimes run into a second morning — we tell you up front.
Are your movers W-2 employees?
Every mover in a 3 Gorillas shirt is W-2 and background-checked. No day labor, not since I started the crew in 2014.

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.
