Moving Companies in Pleasant Hill, CA
Moving Out of Pleasant Hill
For an interstate or long-distance move, ask carriers for a binding estimate based on shipment weight, route, and timing. The local figures below are short-move benchmarks, not an interstate quote.
| Move type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| 2 movers and a truck (local, under 100 miles) | $120–$180 per hour |
| 3 movers and a truck (local, under 100 miles) | $160–$250 per hour |
| Studio or 1-bedroom local move | $400–$700 |
| 2–3 bedroom local move | $800–$1,500+ |
| Labor-only loading/unloading | $87.00 per hour per crew, or flat packages between $350 and $630 |
Local Cost Considerations
Hourly billing in California often begins when the crew leaves their warehouse and ends when they return, so even a move of only a mile can include one to two hours of travel time. Intrastate movers operate under the Bureau of Household Goods and Services and must provide a Maximum Price Guarantee; final charges cannot exceed 10% above that maximum unless you add services mid-move.
Stairs, long carries, small elevators, and parking limits can bring extra charges. Reserving a close space and checking certificate-of-insurance or loading dock rules with a Pleasant Hill complex may reduce those fees.
Oversized pianos, large safes, pool tables, and hot tubs usually sit outside standard quotes, so confirm specialty pricing up front. Basic carrier liability is included at no cost but pays only $0.60 per pound per item; full value protection may be a better fit for valuable pieces.
Compare local crews in the directory below and use these benchmarks when reviewing estimates.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $130,709 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $133,793. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Contra Costa County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
