Moving Companies in Irmo, SC
Start by browsing the movers serving Irmo below, then use these numbers to judge any quote you get.
Local moves around Columbia and Irmo are billed hourly, while long-distance jobs price by weight and mileage. A standard two-person crew runs $130 to $150 per hour, and with the typical 2-hour minimum your floor price starts around $260 to $300 before any extras. The average reported local move in Irmo costs about $1,432, with most jobs landing between $1,250 and $2,820 depending on home size. If you rent your own truck and just need labor to load or unload, expect $80 to $90 per hour, with full jobs running $300 to $620.
Watch for add-on fees: a long carry, when the truck can't park close to your door, plus stairs and heavy or awkward items like a piano or safe, can each add $150 to $400 or more. Buying boxes and tape from the moving company on the day itself typically costs far more than picking them up ahead of time. Insist on a written estimate that is binding or not-to-exceed instead of a phone-only quote, and moving mid-month and mid-week, rather than during summer or the end-of-month rush, tends to bring the best 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 Lexington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 33% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
