I’m Colton Reyes. My family’s roots trace back to Jerome-area copper-mining work, so I’ve known these switchbacks up Cleopatra Hill my whole life. A lot of Jerome’s lots simply won’t take a 26-foot truck — the streets are near-vertical, the curves are tight, and the historic cottages sit on postage-stamp lots. Since 2016 we’ve built our Jerome jobs around a shuttle van and a hand-carry crew, still locked to one written flat rate.
How we work a switchback move
Silas Whitmore leads every Jerome hand-carry — he’s run more piano and specialty carries up these hillside stairs than anyone on my crew. We stage the shuttle van at the nearest turnout, hand-carry down to the street, then load the box truck for the run down to Clarkdale or wherever you’re headed.
Jerome flat-rate pricing
| Job | Crew | Typical flat |
|---|---|---|
| Studio/1-bed hillside cottage, hand-carry | 3 movers + shuttle van | $950 – $1,250 |
| 2-bed switchback home | 3 movers + truck + shuttle | $1,650 – $2,150 |
| Artist-studio piano/specialty carry | 3 movers + truck | $1,450 – $1,950 |
| Jerome → Clarkdale (downhill) | 2 movers + truck | $850 – $1,150 |
Why Jerome jobs go smooth
- We scout the switchback and the turnout the day before, not on move day.
- Silas Whitmore’s piano and specialty carry crew handles the hillside stairs personally.
- Hand-carry labor is priced into the flat rate up front — no surprise fee at the curb.
- We hold an Arizona household-goods carrier permit plus US DOT and MC authority on file.
