Before You Book: McHenry Moving Checklist
A few local cost and coverage details are worth confirming before you commit to a crew.
- Studio and one-bedroom pricing — local crews billing by the hour typically charge $330 to $924.
- Two-bedroom pricing — common local estimates land between $1,194 and $1,837.
- Three-to-four-bedroom pricing — larger homes usually fall in a $3,234 to $5,790 range.
- Five-plus-bedroom pricing — big local moves often run $5,985 to $9,208.
- Labor-only help — if you only need loading or unloading for a rented container or truck, budget $327 to $634 total, roughly $76 per worker per hour.
- Travel-time billing — ask whether the clock starts at the crew’s base or your door; some companies include the drive back from the new home, adding hidden McHenry County time.
- Bulky or stair surcharges — confirm whether pianos, safes, hot tubs, stairs, long carries, or tight elevators trigger extra labor charges beyond standard quotes.
- Illinois Commerce Commission licensing — verify the mover is licensed and insured through the state registry so your items are not held for unexpected cash.
- Valuation coverage — basic liability often pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 TV could net $18 if broken; ask about full value protection or check your own policy.
- Tipping baseline — not required, but a solid crew often receives $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the team.

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 McHenry County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
