Moving Companies in Monroe, LA
Monroe and West Monroe sit across the Ouachita River from each other, and most moving companies serving the pair price by the hour rather than by total weight, whether you're crossing town or just crossing the bridge.
A standard two-person crew runs around $142 per hour. If you just need labor to load or unload a truck you rented yourself, expect $80 to $100 or more per hour instead. For a full local job, a studio or 1-bedroom typically totals $560 to $1,100 over 3 to 5 hours, a 2-to-3-bedroom home runs $1,100 to $2,000, and a 4-to-5-bedroom house lands between $2,100 and $3,500 or more. Leaving the area entirely shifts pricing to weight and mileage, ranging anywhere from $1,250 to well over $5,000.
Ask directly whether the hourly clock starts at the company's warehouse or at your front door, since travel time is often billed both ways. Basic liability coverage is thin — a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds is worth just $18 under the standard terms — so consider added protection for anything valuable. Summer and early fall here run hot and humid enough to slow a crew down, so an early start beats both the heat and the traffic. Once you know your rough hours, the movers below are worth a look.

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 Ouachita Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 41% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
