I’m Wesley Tate, and I started Heaven’s Moving in 2015 after years running warehouse and freight logistics here in Greater Richmond. I built this company on one rule: lock the flat price in writing before the truck rolls. Local moving across the River City is what we do most, and it is where that rule matters most, because Richmond is full of homes that punish hourly billing.
From a Fan District rowhouse to a Short Pump colonial, our Central Virginia crew writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
Built for how Richmond actually moves
The Fan District’s 1900s brick rowhouses are tall, narrow, and proud of their steep original stairs. Church Hill and Jackson Ward homes have the same character and the same stoops. Scott’s Addition and Shockoe lofts mean freight elevators and tight turns. Out west in Short Pump, Glen Allen, and Midlothian you get brick colonials with full basements and three-car garages. We send the same uniformed, W-2, background-checked crew to load you and unload you, so nobody is learning your furniture twice.
That access knowledge is the whole game in this city. A crew that has never worked a Fan stoop will quote you cheap and then nickel-and-dime the stairs on move day. We have walked those steps for years, so when we hand you a number, it already knows your block — the parking, the turns, the basement, the attic. Whether you are crossing the James from Forest Hill to the West End or just shifting two streets over in Church Hill, the price is set before we load and it does not move.
What our local crews bring
- Our own truck, fully stocked with blankets, dollies, and shrink-wrap
- Stoop runners and stair protection for narrow Fan and Church Hill steps
- Furniture broken down and rebuilt by the crew, not left to you
- Floor protection against red Virginia clay, salt, and mud year-round
Local flat-rate pricing
We run two simple hourly tiers on the back end, then convert them into one binding flat rate you sign before we load. Here is the framework and a couple of typical Richmond examples.
| Crew | Rate | Typical job |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $139/hr | Studio / small 1-bedroom |
| 3 movers + truck | $189/hr | 2–3 bedroom home |
| Flat example | $695 | 1-bed Fan rowhouse to Scott’s Addition loft |
| Flat example | $1,295 | 3-bed Midlothian colonial to Short Pump |
Every quote includes $0.60/lb released-value protection as standard, with full-value coverage and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment available if you want it. We are a fully licensed Virginia mover with our own trucks and our own crews, not a referral service.
