The Cost of Hiring Movers in Ridgewood, NJ

On average, it costs $390.74 to hire moving helpers in Ridgewood, NJ. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Ridgewood, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $76.68.

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 Ridgewood, NJ is $990.60, with an average hourly rate of $117.59. 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.

Astra Moving did a great job for us. I called them on the day of my move and they were able to accommodate my needs. The owner, Dan, was very responsive and was very thorough in his communication. The 2 workers (Romnel and Pepe) were very professional and friendly. They worked hard to get the job done. I would highly recommend Astra Moving without reservation.
