Question 1

How much does it cost to hire residential movers in Lexington, KY?

Accepted Answer

The average cost for local residential movers in Lexington is $70–$90 per hour per mover. At 2 Dudes Moving, our rate starts at $165/hour for a team of 2 movers plus a truck, with a 2-hour minimum. A typical 2-bedroom move usually runs 3–4 hours; a 4-bedroom home might take 6–8 hours. We don’t require a deposit and charge by the minute — never rounding up.

Question 2

How far in advance should I book a residential moving company in Lexington?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead for most residential moves, and 4–6 weeks ahead if you’re planning a summer move (May–August), which is our busiest season. That said, we do accommodate last-minute and emergency moves based on availability — give us a call and we’ll do our best.

Question 3

Do I need to be present during the move?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend you or a trusted representative be present during loading and unloading so you can direct placement and verify everything arrives correctly. If that’s not possible in your situation, give us a call and we can discuss how to handle it.

Question 4

What items can't residential movers transport?

Accepted Answer

For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials such as gasoline, propane tanks, paints, aerosols, or chemicals. Perishable food items and live plants are also best handled by the homeowner. For any fragile or high-value items, let us know in advance so we can pack and handle them with extra care.

Question 5

Are 2 Dudes movers licensed and insured in Kentucky?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 2 Dudes Moving is fully licensed with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and carries all required liability, cargo, and motor carrier insurance. Every move includes released-value protection at no cost, and full-value protection is available for $100 per truckload.

Question 6

How is 2 Dudes Moving different from other Lexington moving companies?

Accepted Answer

A few things set us apart: we’re locally owned (not a franchise), we charge no deposit, our pricing is identical every day of the week, we prorate by the minute and never round up, and we’ve been serving Lexington continuously since 2010. We’ve earned Angie’s List’s Super Service Award six times and are rated #1 overall by Yahoo Local among Lexington movers. We’re not the biggest company in town — but we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right, every time.
