The Cost of Hiring Movers in Melrose, MA

On average, it costs $356.90 to hire moving helpers in Melrose, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Melrose, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $87.82.

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 Melrose, MA is $837.06, with an average hourly rate of $136.73. 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.

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.

I tipped all three directly. Under extremely adverse conditions and handling priceless antiques and memories these three gentlemen handled everything efficiently and with great care.
