The Cost of Hiring Movers in Essington, PA

On average, it costs $355.90 to hire moving helpers in Essington, PA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Essington, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $80.65.

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 Essington, PA is $840.07, with an average hourly rate of $130.12. 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.

3 guys, led by Isaac. They were a little late from the prior job but that happens. They communicated about it and their ETA multiple times and apologized for the tardiness. Polite. Professional. Efficient. Went above and beyond and were done in no time. It’s a win-win for everyone. I’d recommend them to others.

I can not say enough good things about my experience with Sharp Van Lines. They sent 3 guys who went right to work and never stopped. Wrapping furniture, taping boxes and loading the truck with such efficiency, I couldn’t believe they could fit all of my furniture. Don’t hesitate to hire them for your move.

They did it again! Karim and Hanif unpacked all my stuff and put it where I wanted it. I was totally expecting them to just unpack and put it wherever. They unloaded everything in the rooms I wanted the boxes and furniture in. They even helped me move my refrigerator to maximize the kitchen space! Hire them! You won't regret it!
