Based on 1M+ completed moves across our platform.
"Most cost estimates are based on limited data that doesn't account for timing, location, or move size. Ours are built on years of real moves — so what you see here is actually based on what people in Pittsburgh pay."
How we calculate these numbers
1
Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Pittsburgh has enough data (at least 10 moves of a given size), that local data is our baseline.
2
Fill gaps with regional context Where local data is thin, we expand to county, then state, then cities with comparable household income levels—so estimates stay market-relevant.
3
Normalize for consistency We apply weighted calculations across categories to prevent a single outlier from skewing what a typical move should cost.
Keep in mind: many factors can affect the actual cost of your move—like the time of year, current demand, number of stairs, heavy items, and more. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific move is to use our simple, 3-step quote tool. You can compare pricing from multiple providers, customize your move, and ultimately book the mover that best fits your needs.
How to Save on Moving in Pittsburgh
In Pittsburgh, PA, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $439.18, compared to $1,057.55 for a local full-service move, so hiring labor-only movers could save you hundreds of dollars on your move, if you're willing to rent a truck or moving container.
Additionally, MovingPlace's algorithm matches you with the mover that offers the best value for your needs, and our Best Price Guarantee means that you can book with the confidence that you are getting the best deal.

I had some issues with the local Uhaul place that had me running behind. These gentleman remained patient and staged as best they could until I was able to get the truck. They loaded things safely. Nothing was broken. All my items were made to fit. Would use again.

Mike and Rylan were fantastic. They showed up at our home early and worked incredibly hard to get the job done.
They loaded our UHaul truck very quickly, and properly protected all of our things with furniture pads. It’s incredibly rare to have zero damage to any items during a move, and their diligence made it so not a single item was damaged in the move!
I highly recommend Them Movers to anyone moving! You won’t regret it!

Logan and Dylan were great! We got a lot done in 2 hours - I had unloaded most of the boxes & whatnot myself, but they handled the 2-man stuff with ease and helped me assemble stuff that isn’t easy to do solo. Also did a really good job of getting everything into the right room. Great team, I highly recommend them!

These two guys worked their butts off! I have a set of stone steps that are not very straight. So, moving heavy furniture down those steps was no small feat. This job was not easy! They came in and efficiently dismantled and loaded my furniture with care. I still don't know how they were able to get so much in the POD!
They were both very friendly and professional. I can't thank them enough!
