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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Most 3-bedroom moves take 6–8 hours with a 3–4 person crew. A packed garage, specialty items, stairs or long-distance can push it longer.
Usually 3 or 4. A 4-mover crew often costs less overall because the job finishes faster, even at the higher hourly rate.
Be fully packed in advance, book mid-week and mid-month, reserve parking, declutter the garage first, and let us right-size the crew so the total time is lowest.
The truck, fuel, blankets, shrink wrap, tape, basic assembly and stairs are all included in the hourly rate — no hidden fuel or heavy-item charges.
