One city, very different moves
Richmond is a big city on the northern shore of the East Bay, and a move here can mean almost anything. A hillside house in Point Richmond with a narrow street and a view of the bridge. A condo at Marina Bay with an elevator and a loading zone. A bungalow in the Richmond Annex near the El Cerrito line. A newer two-story house up in Hilltop off Interstate 80.

Recent Richmond moves
In October 2026 we moved a three-bedroom household from Oakland to Richmond with a four-mover crew. Oakland, Berkeley and Richmond are linked by Interstate 80 and Interstate 580, so moves between them are usually short drives.
Richmond moving costs
Our hourly rates do not change by day: 2 movers $145, 3 movers $175, 4 movers $235. Three movers is standard. A three-bedroom over about 1,800 square feet or a four-bedroom gets four movers, which is why the Oakland to Richmond move above had four. There is a 3-hour minimum, then billing in 15-minute steps.
We do not charge for our drive to Richmond. When your two addresses are more than 10 minutes apart, California rules apply double drive time between them. Blankets, tape, wardrobe boxes, floor protection and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included with every full-service move. Packing supplies are charged as used.
Hours and cost by home size in Richmond
To show what the rate adds up to, we pulled the real hours from moves our crews completed between July and October 2026, and the table below is the result. These are typical ranges, not quotes; we bill only the hours the move takes, with a 3-hour minimum.
| Home size | Crew | Typical hours | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 3 movers, $175/hr | 3.5 to 4 hours | $613 to $700 |
| 1 bedroom | 3 movers, $175/hr | 3 to 4.5 hours | $525 to $788 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers, $175/hr | 4.5 to 7.75 hours | $788 to $1,356 |
| 3 bedrooms, under about 1,800 sq ft | 3 movers, $175/hr | 7 to 12.5 hours | $1,225 to $2,188 |

From our closed local jobs for direct customers, July to October 2026: the middle half of billed hours by home size, including the drive between your two addresses and excluding account, partner-billed and full-packing jobs. Supplies are charged as used, with a 3-hour minimum.
A Point Richmond hillside house on a narrow street with front steps takes longer than a Marina Bay condo, where the elevator and loading zone set the pace.

Storage between homes
Some Richmond moves do not line up: the lease ends before the new place is ready, or a house sale closes early. We can load your home, keep it in storage and deliver later. Storage is a flat monthly fee billed in 30-day periods, and it is climate-controlled. Tell us your dates when you request a quote and we will build the storage into the plan.
