The Cost of Hiring Movers in Lakewood, IL
On average, it costs $334.39 to hire moving helpers in Lakewood, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Lakewood, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $71.11.
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, IL is $833.89, with an average hourly rate of $125.34. 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.

Victor and AJ were excellent! They arrived a few minutes early, worked very quickly and efficiently, even working around us still packing and preparing furniture. They also had great, clear communication in deciding how best to make the most of their time.
Our 2 man crew was on time, were professional and worked hard loading our pod. For the items that we express concern about, they used additional blankets and stretch wrap. No damage occurred on the stairway or doorways. Would definitely use them again.
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.
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.
The two people who came to help me move were extremely professional, efficient and hardworking. All my items were moved without a scratch, and that too for a fraction of the cost in the market! Would 10/10 use them again.
On time! Super fast and efficient. Loaded truck with care and supreme confidence. Not only they but they were very nice and personable. Seemed to listen to my concerns and were able to meet all of my needs. Absolutely the best!!
Very professional, polite and respectful men. They got the move done fast and easy. We will still use the same company when we move to our new home in two months.
The movers were fantastic—professional, efficient, and careful with all my belongings. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend their services!
The workers worked incredibly hard. They were very polite. They packed things SO well in the truck. They did not damage any walls when they moved very heavy and cumbersome furniture through tight spaces. I would definitely recommend them.
Don and Victor were amazing for our move! They worked hard for the entire time we had them. Very kind and proactive with asking where we would like our belongings. When the time comes for us to move again we will absolutely be booking with this company again!
Two young men went above and beyond working tirelessly. My only complaint is I was told by the person on the phone I would be able to add extra time if needed and although I needed more time the men were not available as they were scheduled for two more jobs today.
Very professional for each of the 4 men. I asked some things to be done a certain way and they did all they could do to help. Very cautious and took the time for all delicate and big items. I would recommend these men to move anyone anytime!
