The Cost of Hiring Movers in Crystal Lake, IL
On average, it costs $361.78 to hire moving helpers in Crystal Lake, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Crystal Lake, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $77.07.
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 Crystal Lake, IL is $832.41, with an average hourly rate of $108.95. 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.

Andy and Bat were wonderful! Excellent service. Highly recommend. My furniture was wrapped carefully and thoroughly which I very much appreciated. Thanks guy!!!
Super nice guys. Never stopped working. Always asked before picking things up and where to put them. Showed up early, and even asked to help further. Highly recommend.
Akeem L and Korben F were wonderful. Very helpful, fast workers. When I complete my move I will ask for them again. Great job guys! Thank you so much.
Guys showed up early and ready to help. Both were kind and great to chat with while they were moving my things. Was a full storage for 3 room house. They knocked it out with 4 min to spare. Would be a definite recommendation to use these guys.
They were an excellent crew! Showed up 5 min early. They were fast, professional and friendly. They saved me the day before the trucks rolled in. I highly recommend.
They went above and beyond to make sure all of our stuff was moved safely and swiftly. The owner was so nice and made sure we were well taken care of. We can't thank them enough for all their hard work! There's a reason they're rated #1!!!
Wonderful people! They were on time and were there to WORK! They worked hard, got it done fast, and were still careful of all items. Their website showed that they didn’t have dolly’s or wrapping materials, but they had both with them. Quintin and Jedson were amazing!! Nice and hard workers! Would definitely hire them again for my next move.
Fine young men, very strong, very fast, and quite smart about how to move things as a team. They cleared out a closet that I couldn't reach anymore (I am a disabled veteran), and made sure I had the keys for the storage until. Big thanks to your hard-working and professional team.
These guys came and got right after it and we're done faster than I could believe and my pod was packed so I'm sure that when it gets to my new home everything will be just like it was. Can't recommend these guys as high as they deserve, five stars just isn't enough!
They were absolutely fantastic! Kept us informed regarding arrival, we’re extremely polite and incredibly efficient. They had our home loaded in under an hour. Only issue was some confusion around our order regarding number of staff and number or hours. Took a little effort but was resolved
Fantastic movers. Extremely professional and helped us with all of our needs. Would highly recommend to all!!! we had Ricky and Jay and they were absolutely fantastic!! First rate service!!
The 4 gentlemen that helped with my move were amazing. They were prompt, worked hard and fit all my stuff in a small container and made it look easy. Could not recommend them enough.
