How local moving quotes work

How do movers charge for a local move?

Almost every local mover charges by the hour: an hourly rate for the crew plus travel time. The rate depends on crew size — a 2-man crew might run $90–$150/hr, a 4-man crew $160–$220/hr. Bigger crews finish faster, so the total often lands in the same range.

What makes a move take longer?

Stairs, long carries from truck to door, disassembly/reassembly, and packing. A 3-bedroom with stairs and packing can take twice as long as the same home on one level with everything boxed.

How accurate is this calculator?

It's a planning ballpark built from typical crew speeds. Real quotes come from an in-home or video walkthrough — which is exactly what MoveClerk's estimate builder is for.
