Moving Companies in Binghamton, NY
Binghamton’s steep hills, older housing stock, and swing between winter snow and warm-season rain shape how a move goes here. A local job is usually billed by the hour, while a long-distance job is priced by weight and mileage. The table below shows reported cost ranges for different home sizes and move types.
| Home Size or Move Type | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Local: Studio / 1-bedroom | $382 – $805 |
| Local: 2-bedroom | $835 – $1,284 |
| Local: 3–4 bedroom | $1,904 – $3,355 |
| Local: 5+ bedroom | $3,346 – $5,147 |

For a local crew, total hourly rates generally run from $218 to $597 per hour for a standard multi-person team. The exact figure depends on the truck size and the company.
Terrain and Home Access
Steep streets on the West Side, South Side, or toward Chenango and Kirkwood can make a full-size semi impractical. Talk to the coordinator about whether a shuttle truck will be needed so you don’t get a surprise fee. Many older Binghamton homes also have narrow halls, spiral stairs, or third-floor walk-ups; expect possible extra charges for flights beyond the first floor or a long carry from the curb.
Liability, Billing, and Tipping
Basic mover liability often pays about $0.60 per pound per article. If a mover drops a 20-pound television worth $1,000, that formula returns roughly $12. Ask about Full Value Protection or check your homeowner’s or renter’s policy. For hourly jobs, confirm exactly when billing starts and ends, because some crews charge for travel back to the depot. Tipping each mover around $4 to $5 per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the crew, is standard for difficult Binghamton stairs.

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 Broome County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 51% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
