Timing a Move in Boone, IA
Boone is a smaller hub, so many of the crews covering it actually operate out of the Des Moines and Ames area and drive in for the job.
Hourly labor for a local crew here typically runs about $52 to $83 per hour, often averaging near $67 per mover. If you just need muscle to load or unload a rented truck, labor-only help averages around $82 per hour, with full jobs landing between $330 and $730. Full-service local moves generally scale from $350 up to $1,100 or more, and moves stretching into a longer regional distance can climb toward $900 to $2,500 or higher.
Since crews are dispatched from outside town, ask exactly when their hourly clock starts and stops rather than assuming it begins at your door. Winter and early spring bring a real risk of delay: snow or ice on driveways can slow the crew down and stretch billed hours, so ask whether staging and walkway clearing are included.
Heavy or oversized pieces like a piano or a shop safe often carry a separate flat charge, so flag them before booking. Standard liability tops out around $0.60 per pound per item, so a broken 30-pound television only nets a small payout unless you add coverage.
Once you know your timing window, the mover listings just below are a solid place to start comparing.

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 Boone County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 42% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
