The Cost of Hiring Movers in Wake Forest, NC

On average, it costs $307.95 to hire moving helpers in Wake Forest, NC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Wake Forest, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $71.93.

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 Wake Forest, NC is $955.83, with an average hourly rate of $121.24. 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.

Marc and Mark were the very best!! They were such hard workers, on time, extremely efficient, and so kind! They kept their sense of humor through a very difficult move with multiple flights of stairs. They were respectful of us and our items. They made our move so much easier.

They worked hard the entire time and were very respectful of our property. They were very trustworthy and helped the stressful process of moving go by smoothly. Would love to hire this team again if we’re back in the area!!
