The Cost of Hiring Movers in Sonoma, CA

On average, it costs $438.96 to hire moving helpers in Sonoma, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Sonoma, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $87.81.

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 Sonoma, CA is $1,100.00, with an average hourly rate of $134.60. 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.

We were very happy with McLeod Moving. We moved across the country so we needed a lot of help with packing and loading the truck. Douglas, Joseph, and Brandon were fast, efficient, and courteous. They went above and beyond to get our truck loaded so we could get on the road. I highly recommend McLeod Moving.

The moving company was flexible and worked with me and my time frame when the storage unit I'd ordered didn't arrive on time. When the two movers arrived to do the job, they worked quickly to pack everything up, treating things carefully so that nothing would be damaged. They did a good job and were respectful. I would use them again!

Tony and his crew were amazing. They unloaded my large shipping container and brought everything up 3 flights of narrow stairs faster than I ever would have expected. Incredibly friendly, professional, respectful of my property. Worked skillfully and put in a lot of effort. 5 stars isn't enough - I'd hire them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Tony & Crew! - John

The team arrived on time and immediately inquired where items were to be placed. Then surveyed the path into the house and where items were to be placed. Almost all the items were placed in garage and were stacked carefully. The unloading of our 16ft PODS took a little over an hour. Wasted no time worked efficiently.

These guys worked! They communicated about arrival time and showed up on time. They worked very hard, helped make sure our stuff was protected and worked tirelessly to get things moved quickly. They had packing know how and maximized what went into our storage unit. Would definitely use them again.
