What Moves Cost in Brighton
Labor-only help for a self-supplied truck or container averages $79 per hour per worker, with typical jobs landing between $300 and $770 based on hours and crew size. Full-service moves with a truck and crew generally run from $120 per hour upward; small studio jobs can start at $200, while large multi-bedroom homes may reach several thousand dollars.
Tip movers about $4 to $5 per hour per worker, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the crew.
Cost Factors That Catch People Off Guard
- Hourly billing often starts when the truck leaves the depot, not when crew arrives. A company based in Denver or Boulder may add 30–60 minutes of paid drive time.
- Mid-month and mid-week moves usually cost less than summer or month-end dates, when lease turnover pushes prices up.
- Confirm whether bed-frame disassembly, appliance connection, or specialty wrapping carries extra fees; undisclosed line items can appear if not in the estimate.
- A precise room-by-room inventory prevents underestimating heavy items, which can cause truck-space shortages or overtime penalty rates.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Adams County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 19% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
