Moving Companies in Middletown, NJ
What Middletown movers charge
The typical hourly rate for a 2-to-3 mover crew and truck runs about $135. A studio or 1-bedroom move takes 3 to 5 hours and lands around $400-$800; a 2-3 bedroom home takes 5 to 8 hours and runs $900-$1,900; a 4+ bedroom house can reach $2,200-$4,500 or more. Adding a fourth mover typically adds $30-$50 per hour but finishes the job faster.
Extra charges to expect
Heavy items like a piano, oversized safe, or pool table usually carry a $150-$400 surcharge. If the crew can't park close to your door, or there are multiple flights without an elevator, both can trigger extra fees. Basic released-value coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound television gets $18 if it's damaged.
Timing and paperwork
Scheduling mid-month and mid-week, Tuesday through Thursday, tends to avoid the premium rates that end-of-month slots carry. New Jersey requires a written estimate based on an actual visual inspection, so a binding quote given over the phone without one is not something to trust. Crews are typically tipped $20-$40 per mover for a half-day move, or $50-$100 per mover for a full, long day.

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 Monmouth County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
