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.

Mr. Jo Winston and his other worker was right on time. They came prepared for the job and worked very hard. Respectful of my property and paid attention to how my things were carefully loaded on and off the truck. I strongly recommend them and would hire them again . D.D.

The movers arrived right on time and were both respectful and professional throughout the entire process. They clearly knew what they were doing. After taking a look at everything we had, they advised us to go with a larger POD, and they were right. While their service was on the pricier side, the peace of mind and expert help made it well worth it. Highly recommend!

Bernard and Ivan are amazing. They have to be world champion real life Tetris players. It is amazing the care they took with our furniture. Wrapping and padding everything. I wish they could unload my Pod in Tennessee! If you can I would request these 2, they work so well together, you would think they were brothers. I would give them 10 stars out of 5 if possible.
