Moving Companies in Hurricane, WV
Hurricane movers typically charge $100 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and a truck, with local move totals falling into a few clear brackets by home size.
| Home size | Typical total cost |
|---|---|
| Studio or 1-bedroom | $300 – $600 |
| 2 to 3-bedroom | $600 – $1,200 |
| 4+ bedroom | $1,200 – $2,500+ |
If you already have a truck and just need loading help, hourly labor-only rates run $40 to $80 per mover. Whichever route you pick, ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing, since a non-binding quote can change once the crew sees the actual weight or time involved.
Putnam County's narrow rural driveways can also trigger long-carry or access fees, so mention your street and driveway when requesting quotes. Scheduling for a Tuesday or Wednesday in the middle of the month tends to bring lower rates than weekends or month-end bookings. Before the crew leaves, walk through your old place and check furniture and electronics for damage so any issue is caught while everyone's still on-site. Standard basic liability coverage is minimal, so ask about upgrading to fuller protection if you're moving anything you'd hate to see damaged.

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 Putnam County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
