The Cost of Hiring Movers in Altadena, CA

On average, it costs $303.32 to hire moving helpers in Altadena, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Altadena, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $73.83.

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 Altadena, CA is $1,348.32, with an average hourly rate of $122.72. 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 two men that loaded our PODS were fantastic. They were on time and worked loading our 3 bedroom and fridge,washer dryer and lots of boxes in to a 16 ft.storage in less then 2 hours. They worked steady using all space available. I would highly recommend then.

We hired this company to load furniture and belongings into a PODS container, for a one bedroom apartment. Daniel was very professional and helpful. He asked about the furniture and the number of boxes. He kept in touch about his arrival time. The two workers worked hard and finished in the two hour period.

Great crew. Fast, efficient, well organized by Jon. I am happy I ended up using them despite initial miscommunication on how two loads would be handled for me. They loaded one of the orders and I booked another crew for the same time to load another container which worked out to my benefit from timing perspective. Service-wise - top notch!

John & Brian were AMAZING! One of our concerns was, did we order the right size container for all our stuff. We measured it, but thankfully John’s 11 years of experience allowed him to assess our situation and over deliver on our expectations. We HIGHLY recommend them for your moving needs.

Absolutely the best most professional service I've had contact with in a long time! The employees are very hard working and very methodical. Anthony was very helpful and checked all aspects of the loading and packaging. I intend to use them again to load another trailer. The crew worked very hard the entire time there was no wasted time.
