How Much Does It Cost to Move a 3-Bedroom House in Los Angeles?

Published 2026-06-19 · Best Movers LA editorial team

A three-bedroom house is a full day's work, and the price reflects the volume rather than any hidden fees. The short version: most three-bedroom moves run $840–$1,440 all-in — here's the breakdown and what decides where you land.

Quick answer: A 3-bedroom house in Los Angeles typically takes 3–4 movers and a truck 6–8 hours at $139–$179/hour, for a total of $840–$1,440, including the truck, fuel, blankets, wrap, assembly and stairs.

The typical job

Three bedrooms usually means a 3- or 4-mover crew at $139–$179/hour and six to eight hours of work. That's the $840–$1,440 range. A larger home with a garage, lots of furniture, or a long-distance leg can push past that, sometimes needing two trucks. California's double-drive-time rule adds the doubled driving time between addresses, which we spell out on every quote — and there are no surprise fuel or heavy-item fees.

What moves you up or down the range

Volume and access drive the hours. A packed garage, a piano or gym, hillside or stair access, and a long carry from the street all add time. The single biggest thing you control is being fully boxed before the crew arrives — for a house that often means starting a week or two ahead. Reserving parking and clearing pathways keeps the crew working instead of waiting.

Crew size matters more at this size

For a three-bedroom, a bigger crew almost always costs less overall: four movers at $179/hour finishing in six hours beats three movers at $139/hour grinding for nine. We recommend the crew size that produces the lowest total for your specific home — not the lowest hourly rate.

Optional add-ons

Full-service packing runs $40/hour per packer with materials included; a three-bedroom typically takes a two-person team most of a day. Storage between dates and specialty items (piano, safe, gym) are quoted separately.
