A typical studio/1-bed local move takes 2-3 hours. A 2-3 bedroom home takes 4-6 hours. Factors like stairs, parking distance, and the amount of furniture can add time. Most movers charge by the hour with a 2-hour minimum.
For studio/1-bed moves with minimal heavy furniture, a DIY move can save money. For 2+ bedrooms, heavy furniture, or stairs, professional movers are faster, safer, and come with insurance. Always get at least 3 quotes to compare.
