How We Work
How Your Local Move Works: From Free Estimate to Final Setup
We keep local moves predictable from your first call to the final walkthrough. Our how we work page has more detail.
Free estimate and firm written quote
Call our office or use our online form to share your addresses, home size, and target date. Mention stairs or elevators so we can plan the crew—there are no stair fees. One of our trained estimators then walks through your home and gives you a firm written quote, along with our current hourly rates.
Scheduling and crew sizing
We match your move with a two-man or three-man crew and schedule it Monday through Saturday (no Sunday moves). Most bookings need no deposit; next-day or short-notice bookings typically take a $100 deposit that is deducted from your final bill.
Optional packing, supplies, or junk hauling
Book full or partial packing, pick up boxes at our Beach Boulevard shop, or schedule a pre-move junk haul-out so you only pay to move what you keep.
Protected loading on moving day
The hourly clock starts when our truck arrives. The crew protects entryways, wraps furniture, and loads the truck.
Transit, room placement, and walkthrough
We drive straight to your new address, unload every box into its labeled room, reassemble your furniture, and do a final walkthrough with you. You pay at completion by credit card, debit card, or cash (no personal checks).
Transparent Pricing
Local Moving Hourly Rates and Pricing in Jacksonville, FL
Most people comparing local movers want a straight answer on hourly rates before they call. This is what T&E Moving and Storage typically quotes for local moves in Jacksonville and nearby First Coast communities:
| Crew & Service Item | Typical Local Rate | Minimum / Fee Structure | What Is Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Movers + Moving Truck | Starting at $150/hr | 2-hour minimum ($450 typical 2-hr base) | 2 trained movers, quilt-pad wrapping, disassembly & setup |
| 3 Movers + Moving Truck | Starting at $195/hr | 2-hour minimum ($540 typical 2-hr base) | 3 trained movers for larger homes, stairs, or faster loading |
| One-Time Truck Fee | $150 one-time | Charged once per local move | Moving truck, dollies, tools, pads, and local fuel |
| Outside City Limits Fuel | $50 flat charge | Applies outside Jacksonville (e.g., St. Augustine) | Extra fuel for trips beyond city limits |
| Packing Service Labor | Same hourly crew rate | Plus cost of boxes & packing materials | Packing or unpacking billed at your crew's hourly rate |
Note: These are typical local rates from recent quotes, not a flat-rate price list or a guarantee for your specific move. Time is billed by the hour starting when the truck arrives at your pickup address. Usually no deposit is required, though short-notice or next-day bookings typically require a $100 deposit credited toward your bill. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash (no personal checks), and we offer a 5% military discount off the total bill. Always confirm your written quote before booking.
What Affects the Total Cost of an Hourly Local Move?
Because local moving is billed by the hour, total time on the clock sets your final invoice. Five factors drive it:
Home size and volume
A sealed-and-ready one-bedroom often finishes near the two-hour minimum with two movers; a four-bedroom house with a full garage usually benefits from three.
2 vs. 3 movers
A third mover adds $45 per hour, but on two-story homes, walk-ups, or long carries the faster pace often matches or beats the two-person total.
Stairs, elevators, and long carries
Mention stairs, elevators, and long carries up front so we can plan the right crew—there are no stair fees.
Drive time
Jacksonville covers more than 840 square miles. Mandarin to Orange Park over the Buckman Bridge adds more clock time than a move within Riverside.
Preparation
Sealed boxes, disconnected appliances, and clear paths keep the crew loading from minute one.

What's Included
What Our Jacksonville Local Moving Service Includes
Residential & Single-Family Home Moves
Moving a house in Mandarin, Arlington, or Nocatee means more than bedroom sets and sofas. We pad-wrap furniture, take apart beds, cribs, and tables, load garage and patio items, and reassemble everything at the new house so your family is settled the same day.
Apartment, Condo & High-Rise Moves
Many condo associations and apartment communities require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming the management company and limit moves to reserved freight elevator windows. Tell us your building's rules when you book and we will handle the paperwork and size the crew to your window.
Local Office & Commercial Relocations
When a Jacksonville business moves, every hour offline costs money. We relocate offices, medical suites, and retail spaces, pad-wrapping desks and filing cabinets, and we can schedule around your operating hours, including Saturdays. For a full timeline, read our office relocation planning guide.
Cleaning, Junk Removal & Local Delivery
Add move-in or move-out cleaning for your old or new home. Clear out old mattresses, broken furniture, and garage clutter before moving day with our Jacksonville junk removal services, and see our guide to decluttering and responsible disposal options. Bought furniture locally? Our furniture delivery services handle store-to-home pickup and setup.
Packing Supplies, Full-Service Packing, and Climate-Controlled Storage
Our packing shop and warehouse share one roof at 6556 Beach Boulevard.
- Packing and unpacking: Add full-house or fragile-only packing (dishes, glassware, artwork, mirrors, electronics) at the same hourly crew rate plus materials. Packing yourself? Our packing supplies shop stocks boxes, dish barrels, wardrobe cartons, mattress bags, blankets, and tape.
- Climate-controlled warehouse storage: Florida heat and humidity are hard on wood, leather, electronics, and heirlooms. Our Southside facility offers clean, disinfected, climate-controlled storage units with video surveillance for short gaps or long-term storage, plus secure space for vehicles, boats, and RVs. Read our guide to long-term storage options for your belongings.
Move-Day Prep
How to Prepare for a Local Move in Northeast Florida
Good preparation shaves hours off an hourly move. Start with why hiring a local moving company in Jacksonville is the smart choice, then follow these steps:
Confirm HOA, gate, and elevator rules two weeks out, especially in gated Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, or Deerwood communities.
Purge before you pack so you don't pay hourly labor to move old mattresses or broken patio sets.
Seal and label every box by destination room before the crew arrives.
Prep appliances and drawers: drain washers, defrost refrigerators 24 hours ahead, and pull breakables and valuables from drawers.
Plan around Florida weather: book morning starts in summer, watch hurricane season (June through November), and carry medications, documents, and laptops in your car.
Clear parking and secure pets. For more checklists, browse our moving tips hub and our 10 tips for a stress-free move in Jacksonville, FL.
