Moving Companies in Jefferson, LA
Moving Companies in Jefferson, LA
Jefferson sits right against New Orleans, so most local movers serving the area also cover Metairie and the rest of Jefferson Parish, which keeps competition, and pricing pressure, fairly high.
Hourly rates around Jefferson average about $142 for a standard crew, climbing to $190 to $320 or more per hour if your home needs a larger three-to-four-person team.
By home size, expect roughly $540 to $750 for a studio or one-bedroom, $1,050 to $1,225 for a two-bedroom, and $2,500 to $4,800 or more for three or more bedrooms once packing labor and heavy items are added in.
If you've already rented your own truck or a container and just need loading muscle, labor-only help runs about $83 an hour, with full jobs typically totaling $335 to $700.
Ask any local company how their pricing handles apartment buildings with elevators or long hallways, since that kind of access issue is common in this part of Jefferson Parish and can quietly add hours to an otherwise standard job.

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.
