Local move prices in Amityville
If you're moving in or out of Amityville, on the Suffolk/Nassau County border, you'll find local jobs are usually quoted by the hour plus a truck fee rather than a flat rate. Crew rates typically run $150 to $300 an hour, depending on team size.
| Home Size | Crew & Truck | Est. Time | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom apartment | 2 movers + 1 truck | 3 to 5 hours | $500 – $900 |
| 2-to-3 bedroom house / apartment | 3 to 4 movers + 1–2 trucks | 6 to 9 hours | $1,200 – $2,800+ |
| Large 4+ bedroom home | 4+ movers | 9 to 12+ hours (sometimes split across two days) | $3,000 – $6,000+ |
Estimates and extra fees worth asking about
A non-binding estimate isn't a firm price; if the crew hits narrow Amityville streets, heavy furniture, or slow elevators, your final bill can legally land 10% or more above that estimate. Ask for a binding or binding-not-to-exceed quote instead. Also check whether the contract includes stair/elevator fees, long carry charges for tight driveways or local parking limits, and heavy item surcharges for pianos or safes. Travel time is usually billed too—often as one hour of labor or a flat travel charge.
Tipping and inventory
Tips aren't mandatory, but they're customary. Budget about $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day, or $50 to $100 per mover for a full-day job. And don't hide extra boxes or garage items to lower the quote; the clock simply runs longer, or the crew may need a second trip.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $85,426 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New York report $131,328. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Suffolk County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 13% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
