Moves through Dennis contend with summer congestion, canal crossings, and older streets that large trucks struggle to use. Inside Massachusetts, local work is usually charged by the hour for a given crew, or as a flat quote after a home survey.

Typical 2026 local prices by home size appear below.

Home sizeLocal costTypical time
Studio or 1-bedroom$550 – $1,2003 to 5 hours
2 to 3-bedroom home$1,200 – $2,8005 to 8 hours
4+ bedroom home$2,800 – $4,500+Full day or extra crew

Hourly crew rates and traffic-related billing are listed next.

Crew or extraRate
2 movers and 1 truck$100 to $150+ per hour
3-to-4 person crew$150 to $250+ per hour
Travel time in trafficBilled by the hour

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, delays pile up on the Sagamore and Bourne bridges and Route 6. An early weekday start, Tuesday through Thursday, limits backups.

Skip vague phone quotes. A binding not-to-exceed estimate stops the bill from climbing when stairs or drives are tight. Narrow lanes, gravel or sand drives, and low tree limbs in Dennis often block a 26-foot trailer. A shuttle van to a larger truck on a main road adds labor, so describe the street in advance.

Many Cape homes use bulkheads and steep cellar stairs. Confirm the crew has moved pianos, shop tools, or oversized sofas through those entries. Intrastate routes such as Dennis to Boston require a Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities license. Check it before you book.

I hired Compass to help me with my local move. I don’t have too much stuff, but it was so so incredibly helpful to have the Compass crew take care of me.

I moved my business from South Yarmouth to West Dennis last May, 2015. It took 2 truckloads each of 2 days and the 5 men sent from Compass were outstanding.

What kind of mover will you need?
Moving in
6,259 households arrived
16% under 50 mi 45% 50–250 mi 10% over 250 mi 29% not attributed

53% arrived from elsewhere in Massachusetts. Most arrivals are in-state moves, so a regional company will usually cover it — check interstate authority only if you're crossing a state line.

Moving out
6,576 households left
18% under 50 mi 34% 50–250 mi 15% over 250 mi 33% not attributed

49% of departures went farther than 50 miles. Beyond that range moves are priced by weight and distance, and a state line means the carrier needs interstate authority.

Dennis refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country replaces them almost one for one. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.56 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.45), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.

Households arriving from another state report $119,079 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Massachusetts report $174,209. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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 Barnstable 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.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
