The Best Moving Companies in Littleton

As you’d expect, moving locally (100 miles or less) is much cheaper than moving long-distance. On average, a local move only costs $550–$2,000, though getting specialty services like professional packing, storage, or piano transport can nudge your price higher.

Your exact price will depend greatly on the details of your move. Things like how much stuff you have, the size of your home or apartment, and how many stairs your movers have to climb will all factor into your final price. Additionally, local movers typically charge by the hour, so the quicker your move goes, the cheaper it will be.

Since the details of your move are completely unique, it’s impossible to predict your price without knowing these details. Luckily, your moving company can help you pinpoint your price ahead of time. Before you sign a contract with your movers, they’ll send an estimator to your home who will inventory your belongings and give you a customized estimate.

After you get this estimate, you can decide if you want to hire the company or shop around for a cheaper mover. In fact, whether or not the first company’s price is affordable, you should still get an estimate from at least one other mover. That’s the only way to know which moving company in your area is the cheapest.
