Moving Companies in Somerset, WI
Somerset moves are billed by the hour based on home size, and a handful of billing details catch people off guard.
Typical local costs
A studio runs about $600 to $650 total, a 1-bedroom $800 to $850, a 2-bedroom $1,200 to $1,300, and a 3-bedroom $2,400 to $2,500, with hourly rates climbing from roughly $160 up to $320 or more as crew size grows. If you rent your own truck and just need labor, rates start around $175 per hour, or a flat $420 to $560 for smaller jobs.
Pitfalls to watch for
- The hourly clock often starts when the truck leaves its depot, not when it arrives at your door
- Pianos, gun safes, hot tubs, and other heavy items can trigger a steep surprise fee if not flagged in advance
- Tipping isn't required but is customary: budget $20 to $40 per mover for a full day, or $4 to $5 per hour per mover for a shorter job
- Stairs or a long carry from the truck to your door (over about 75 feet) can add a separate fee
Pack essentials like chargers, medication, and toiletries in your own car rather than a box. From here, you can check nearby movers for current rates.

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 St. Croix County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 34% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
