What Moving Costs Look Like in Refton
Since Refton is a small Lancaster County community, most of your options will be regional crews based in Lancaster and nearby towns. Local jobs are almost always billed by the hour, so your final price depends heavily on how long the crew is on site.
| Cost Factor | Typical Figure |
|---|---|
| 2-person crew hourly rate | $100 – $150 (avg. roughly $128) |
| 1-bedroom apartment | $300 – $600 (2–4 hours) |
| 2–3 bedroom home | $900 – $1,800 (6–10 hours) |
| Full local move range | $476 – over $4,200 |
| Truck rental (local trip) | $59 – $138 |
Other Costs Worth Asking About
- Some local crews bill travel time from their warehouse to Refton and back, often at the full hourly rate, so confirm that before booking.
- Basic liability coverage in Pennsylvania typically reimburses $0.60 per pound per item — a 20-pound damaged TV would pay just $12 unless you upgrade protection.
- A common tip is $4–$5 per mover per hour, and cash is the usual method.
- Peak-season demand runs May through September, with month-end and weekend slots often booking fastest.
For an accurate quote, give the company a complete inventory, including heavy pieces like pianos or safes, since forgotten items can add hours or require an extra truck.

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 Lancaster County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 31% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
