Moving Companies in Old Jamestown, MO
Old Jamestown sits in the St. Louis metro, where local movers bill by the hour for a standard crew. Rates typically run $85 to $134 an hour, averaging around $109, for a two-person team. A one-bedroom local move typically totals $560 to $1,098, while a two- to three-bedroom home runs $1,077 to $2,100 or more depending on volume and any heavy items involved. Moving out of state is priced differently, based on total weight and mileage rather than the hour, and can range from $1,252 up into the thousands for longer hauls. Nearly every local company also bills a travel fee covering the trip from their shop to your door and back, so ask how that's calculated before you book. Always get a binding, not a verbal, estimate, and check a mover's USDOT and MC numbers before handing over a deposit. Spring in Missouri brings storm risk, while winter brings ice, so build a flexible backup date into your plan either way. Streets and driveways in some Old Jamestown subdivisions are narrow, which can matter for a full-size moving truck. Standard tipping runs about $4 to $8 per mover per hour, or 15 to 20 percent of the total split among the crew. Details on who serves this part of St. Louis County follow below.

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. Louis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 18% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
