Hourly Crew Rates
Hourly Moving Rates
Hire a Pasadena moving crew and your hourly rate begins on the arrival. The hourly rate covers everything. Your moving crew uses an e-track box truck, quilted blankets, shrink wrap, a hand truck, dollies, and lifting straps for protection during loading and unloading. Please explore local moving services or check the state licensing portal.
2 Movers + Truck
$129–$159/hr
Our smallest crew and truck configuration suits a studio apartment at the standard hourly rate for residential home moving help (6).
- Box truck, blankets & shrink wrap included
- Dollies and lifting straps on every job
- Full-time, background-checked movers
3 Movers + Truck
$169–$209/hr
A three-mover crew handles most two-bedroom homes and apartments with stairs efficiently, so the move finishes faster and the hourly rate often costs less overall.
- Faster move on stairs and tight access
- Door-jamb and floor protection included
- Coordinated team, ergonomic lifting
4 Movers + Truck
$219–$269/hr
Our four-mover crew efficiently manages large four-bedroom homes and heavy furniture on a tight schedule.
- Appliance dollies for heavy items
- Disassembly and reassembly handled
- Two-truck staging available
Moving without the truck?
A two-person crew will load or unload your rental using moving straps for $95 to $115 per hour.

The Variables
What Affects Your Moving Cost
The crew walks every variable. Because we remain on the hourly clock until completion, we assess home size, driving distance, each stair carry, and freight elevator coordination in Pasadena to ensure your final cost remains accurate.
- Stairs and elevators. Third-floor walk-ups and shared freight elevators add time on every trip — but never a separate stair fee.
- Packing scope. Movers-only is fastest; add full or partial packing at $55–$75 per packer per hour, with all boxes, tape, and paper included.
- Distance between addresses. Drive time across the metro area is part of the hourly clock — never a padded mileage or fuel charge. Renting your own truck instead? Our loading and unloading labor guide breaks down that hourly rate.
- Truck size and home volume. A heavier load may need a larger box truck or a second trip — sized to your inventory at quote time, never guessed on the day.

No Fine Print
What We Never Charge
Other movers add unexpected charges after loading—like stair fees, shrink wrap, or rental costs for furniture pads and quilted blankets—leaving customers little choice but to pay. That ends with this crew. Equipment like furniture blankets, dollies, and protection materials is included in the hourly rate, with no hidden fees.
- No fuel surcharges. Drive time across the metro is part of the hourly rate, never a tacked-on line.
- No stair fees. Walk-ups and split-levels are just part of the job, not an extra.
- No long-carry fees. A far parking spot or a long hallway won't change the number you signed.
- No tape or shrink-wrap upcharges. Blankets, shrink wrap, and tape are included in every hourly rate.
- No blanket rental. Quilted moving blankets come with the crew — never a per-pad rental.
- No surprise day-of changes. The quote you sign is the price you pay — that's the whole promise.
