Moving Companies in Gretna, LA
Full-service vs. labor-only in Gretna
For local moves in Gretna and the Greater New Orleans area, most companies bill hourly rather than a flat rate.
| Option | Hourly rate |
|---|---|
| Full-service crew + truck | $135-$145/hr |
| Labor-only help | $80-$95/hr per helper |
Total local costs generally land between $530 and $4,500, depending on home size and how much you're moving. A studio move sits near the low end; a four-bedroom house with a full crew pushes toward the top. The gap between the two options above mostly comes down to what's included: a full-service crew brings the truck, the fuel, and often packing supplies, while labor-only help assumes you've already got transportation sorted out.
Tipping is customary for the physical work, plan on roughly $4 to $5 per mover per hour if the crew does a good job, and the same rough range applies whether you booked labor-only or a full crew, since it's the same physical effort either way.

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 Jefferson Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
