The Cost of Hiring Movers in Contra Costa, CA

On average, it costs $401.04 to hire moving helpers in Contra Costa, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Contra Costa, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $87.42.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Contra Costa, CA is $948.34, with an average hourly rate of $118.40. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

The speed was impressive, he worked with my suggestions, and he made me believe in magic with a real life 3D Tetris mind to fit everything neatly. Impressive kind lead and very nice helper too!

The guys were awesome! Usually with paid movers they work slow and stretch the job out. These guys worked at such a great pace and unloaded the 6 hour load job in a little over an hour. I was very impressed. If you are looking for a hard working crew that won’t slack on the job, give these guys a call! Well done.

They were extremely polite, got to work in a well organized, hard working manner. They checked in with me regularly to be sure all the pieces and aspects of the loading process were satisfactory and had been included. I definitely would request this team in the future.

Those 2 men worked so very hard. Yes I would use those 2 men again, but my final destination is Los Angeles and I know I will have to hire different men for unloading my stuff. I'm sure your company will have more wonderful movers in the Los Angeles area.

Jordan and Kalil were great. They reached out ahead of time, were prompt, polite, respectful and listened. Then they jumped into action. A Piano, a large exercise machine, took beds apart and packed that pod like you wouldn't believe. Still have half open. I will be having them back for part 2. Thanks guys! Susan

Excellent movers. I highly recommend them. They are professional, diligent and super fast. I had other movers help me the prior two days and MovingZoom was by far better than the prior movers and they exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the teamwork between the two movers was phenomenal and they skillfully loaded two large moving pods.

Highly rate this team. They showed up on time and got the job done. They were very proactive with communication and showed up with 4 guys ready to do the work. I used them to load up my home into two pods that were going into storage. You could tell they had experiences loading these containers and were very methodical with their approach.
