What Does a Move Cost?

← Back to all guides

Moving quotes can feel like a black box — and they shouldn't be. At Signature Solutions, pricing is simple and upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before moving day. Here's what really goes into the cost of a professional move, plus a few easy ways to keep it down.

1. Team Size & Hours

Most moves are priced by how many movers you need and how long it takes, with a 2-hour minimum. A bigger team costs more per hour but often finishes faster — so for a larger home, more movers can actually cost less overall.

2. Distance

How far your move is matters. We set your rate by distance zone from our Scranton home base — local, regional, or long-range. Just enter your ZIP and we calculate it for you.

3. Service Level

Labor-only (you bring the truck) is the most affordable. Full-service includes our truck and equipment. Our Signature Moving Package adds packing and cleaning at one simple hourly rate.

4. Add-Ons

• Packing — priced per hour if you'd like us to handle it.
• Specialty items — pianos, safes, and similar heavy pieces carry a flat handling add-on.

How to Lower Your Cost

• Declutter before the move — the less you bring, the quicker and easier moving day goes.
• Have your boxes packed and organized ahead of time. When things are ready to go, our team can move swiftly through the home, which saves time.
• Reserve close parking and keep a clear path at both ends so the team isn't slowed down.
• Ask about our veteran / first-responder and referral promo codes.
