The Cost of Hiring Movers in Lakewood, CA

On average, it costs $439.07 to hire moving helpers in Lakewood, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Lakewood, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $79.02.

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 Lakewood, CA is $719.01, with an average hourly rate of $118.47. 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.

These men did a GREAT job! They were even a little early. They cubed out our PackRat Container utilizing every nook and cranny. They kept moving and worked very hard. Would HIGHLY recommend!! We are using them again for our next Container being delivered in a couple of days. They exceeded our expectations!

They showed up early, and did an amazing job loading our POD. We were very concerned about what would fit and they somehow magically fit everything but a couch we had let them know was optional. I'd say every single inch of space was used. Amazing job. They also finished within 2 hours which was great. Highly recommend using 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.

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!

They arrived about 15 minutes early and went right to work. They had all the equipment but wound up carrying most things due to stairs and difficult property access. They worked hard and had good ideas concerning loading of the items. I would certainly use them again.
