Moving Companies in Scranton, PA
How to Read the Scranton Mover Listings
The directory below lists local companies ready for moves in and around Lackawanna County. As you scan the movers, pay attention to three things on each card: the insurance badge, the licence status, and the review count.
An insurance badge means the company carries coverage that protects your belongings during transit. Licence status confirms the business is registered to operate in Pennsylvania. A higher review count offers more evidence of how consistently the crew performs.
Use those signals alongside your home size. A one-bedroom apartment typically takes 2 to 3 hours with a 2-person crew, landing between $420 and $550 total. A two-bedroom runs $800 to $1,000 over roughly 4 to 5 hours. Three-bedroom houses usually cost $1,800 to $2,300 across 7 to 8 hours, while four bedrooms or more start at $2,500 and can exceed $4,200 for a full day with 4 or more movers.
Hourly pricing also matters. A standard 2-person crew in Pennsylvania averages $128 per hour, with higher rates when you add movers or need heavy lifting help.

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 Lackawanna County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
