The Cost of Hiring Movers in Sylmar, CA

On average, it costs $307.90 to hire moving helpers in Sylmar, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Sylmar, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $81.61.

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 Sylmar, CA is $828.21, with an average hourly rate of $111.30. 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.

They worked hard and were very courteous and helpful but forgot to put the tv on the counter, left it on the floor and forgot to plug in the recliner, so I’ll have to get help to lift it (to find the cord). I’m satisfied though and would recommend them as I truly got my money’s worth.
