Moving Companies in Granite City, IL
What local moves cost
Most Granite City crews bill by the hour, so the rate depends on crew size. If you’re only hiring labor—you’ll supply the truck or container—expect $40 to $80 per mover per hour, with most small and mid-size jobs landing between $320 and $625.
Full-service pricing, with truck, fuel, and crew:
- One-bedroom home: $300 to $600, typically 2 movers for 3 to 4 hours.
- Two- to three-bedroom home: $700 to $2,000, typically 3 movers for 4 to 7 hours.
- Four-plus-bedroom home: $1,500 to $3,500 or more, typically a larger crew for a full day.
Hidden fees to ask about
Don’t forget to ask about a separate travel or truck fee—often equal to one hour of labor or billed per mile—and whether travel time is added to the working hours. Many companies also enforce a 2- or 3-hour minimum, even if a smaller place would take only 90 minutes.
Stairs and heavy or awkward items can bring surcharges, so tell the company about them early. Basic liability coverage is often just $0.60 per pound per item; a 20-pound, $1,000 television would be covered for only $12 if it’s damaged. For expensive electronics or furniture, ask about full value protection.
Tipping usually runs $4 to $5 per mover per hour, or 10% to 15% of the bill split among the crew.

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 Madison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
