I’m Wesley Tate. I grew up in Greater Richmond, and I started Heaven’s Moving in 2015 to do whole-home moves the honest way — one flat price, the whole house, basement and attic included. A house move is the biggest one most families do, and it is where hourly billing does the most damage, so we put the number in writing before the truck rolls.
From a Fan District rowhouse to a Short Pump colonial, our River City crew writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
Every kind of Richmond home
We move all of it: the Fan’s tall narrow rowhouses, Church Hill and Monument Avenue historic homes, brick colonials with full basements out in Westover Hills and the West End, and the big newer houses in Short Pump, Glen Allen, and Midlothian with finished basements and three-car garages. Central Virginia homes carry a lot of life in the basement and attic, and we count every box of it in the quote.
The basement is where most whole-home quotes go wrong. Other crews eyeball the upstairs, name a price, and then act surprised by the workshop, the chest freezer, and the twenty bins under the stairs. We walk the whole house first, basement and attic included, because that is the only honest way to write a flat rate you can trust. Add in Richmond’s four seasons — the summer humidity, the spring storms, the winter ice that shuts the hills — and you want a crew that protects floors and plans the day, not one improvising in your driveway.
What a whole-home move covers
- Top-to-bottom: main floors, full basement, and attic
- Furniture taken apart and rebuilt by the same crew at the new house
- Antiques, mirrors, and glass blanket-wrapped before they leave the room
- Floor and doorway protection for original hardwoods and tile
Whole-home flat-rate pricing
We size the crew to the home, run the hourly tiers internally, then hand you one binding flat number for the entire move.

|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $139/hr | Small house / townhome |
| 3 movers + truck | $189/hr | 3–4 bedroom home |
| 3-bed Bon Air bungalow + basement | — | flat from $1,450 |
| 4-bed Short Pump colonial + finished basement | — | flat from $2,250 |
