Moving Companies in Houma, LA
What do local movers charge per hour?
Crews in the Houma area typically bill $110 to $160 an hour for a standard two-to-three-person team, with the statewide average sitting around $135 to $142.
What does a full move cost?
A local apartment or small-home move generally lands between $350 and $900 for a two-to-four-hour job. Bigger homes with three or more bedrooms can run $1,000 to $3,000 or more once you add volume, stairs, or heavy specialty pieces. Leaving the Houma area entirely pushes the total to $1,800 to $5,500 or more.
What's the catch with insurance?
The coverage every mover includes by law is thin: about $0.60 per pound per item. A 30-pound television worth $1,000 would only be reimbursed $18 if it's damaged, so ask about full-value protection if your belongings are worth more than that math covers.
Should I tip the crew?
It's optional but customary. Figure on about $20 for each crew member if the job wraps up in a half day, and closer to $50 apiece if it stretches into a full, tiring day.
With those ranges in mind, the local movers listed just below are worth a look before you commit to one.

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 Terrebonne Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
