Moving Companies in Sturgeon Bay, WI
What movers charge in Sturgeon Bay
Local rates split into two options. Labor-only help to load or unload a truck you have rented yourself runs about $82 an hour, with full jobs totaling $365 to $830. A full-service crew with their own truck costs more, generally $100 to $140 an hour for two movers. A one- or two-bedroom move on a weekday or mid-month often lands between $530 and $830, while a three-bedroom move on a weekend or during a busy stretch can run $1,160 to $1,460. Adding packing help tacks on another $350 to $700. Nearly every company enforces a three-hour minimum and bills a travel fee on top.
Local timing and coverage
Door County's tourist traffic and bridge openings can slow a crew down in summer and early fall, and moving during those peak weekends or at the start or end of the month adds to your hourly total, so a mid-week, mid-month booking avoids the worst of it. If your place has tight stairs, a long carry from the parking area, or heavy items like a piano or safe, mention it ahead of time so it is not a surprise fee on moving day. Basic coverage movers include by default is thin: a $1,000 TV weighing 30 pounds is covered for only $18 if it is damaged, so ask about full value protection for anything pricier.

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 Door County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 59% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
