The Cost of Hiring Movers in Gloucester, MA

On average, it costs $445.09 to hire moving helpers in Gloucester, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Gloucester, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $90.31.

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 Gloucester, MA is $968.08, with an average hourly rate of $152.47. 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.

Great job! Movers were very efficient, kind, and professional. Movers communicated well and addressed all needs and concerns. I would definitely use this company again and recommend to others. The team was also very prompt and moved quickly but cautiously since rain was in the forecast on my moving day.

Craig and his team came prepared and worked hard to do some interior moves in our home. They easily troubleshooted a few small doors and awkwardly-sized pieces of furniture. They finished the job earlier than planned, and left everything neat and clean, with no damage to the house. Will definitely be using them again if we need in the future.
