Moving Companies in Terrytown, LA
Terrytown sits just across the river from New Orleans in Jefferson Parish, close enough that both local Jefferson Parish crews and metro New Orleans companies typically cover it.
Local moves under 50 miles are billed hourly. Statewide, that runs $100 to $180 an hour for a crew of two to three movers and a truck, averaging around $142. A studio or 1-bedroom usually takes 2 to 4 hours, roughly $300 to $700. A 2- to 3-bedroom home runs 5 to 8 hours, roughly $700 to $1,500 or more. Moving further than about 100 miles switches to pricing by weight and volume, generally $1,500 to $4,800 or more.
A few local quirks matter. The hourly clock usually starts when the truck leaves its dispatch point, not your front door, so ask how travel time is billed. Narrow streets and elevated homes common in the metro area can slow a crew down, and a long-carry fee may apply if the truck can't park close. Push for a binding estimate rather than a vague phone quote. Basic liability covers only about $0.60 per pound per item — a 50-pound TV worth $500 nets just $30 if it's dropped. Tipping runs $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total.

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.
