A three-bedroom home is a substantial move — more rooms, more furniture, and often a basement and garage to clear. If you’re moving a three-bedroom house in Gaithersburg, here’s a clear breakdown of costs and the factors that shape them.
At a Glance
A three-bedroom Gaithersburg home typically runs $900 to $1,400 for a local move, depending on contents, access, and packing. Gaithersburg’s housing variety — from Kentlands townhomes to single-family homes in Quince Orchard and Montgomery Village — means the layout of your specific home strongly influences the final number.
Typical Cost Range
- 3-bedroom townhome: Roughly $800–$1,200, with multi-level and alley access affecting time.
- 3-bedroom single-family home: Roughly $1,000–$1,400, more with a finished basement or full packing.
Long-distance moves are quoted separately by distance and volume.
What Affects the Price
- Home type: Three-story Kentlands/Lakelands townhomes take longer than single-level access.
- Basement and garage: Easy-to-underestimate volume that adds labor and truck space.
- Access: Rear alleys, shared parking courts, and long driveways affect carry distance.
- Packing: Full packing adds cost but saves time and effort.
- Timing: Mid-week, mid-month dates cost less than month-end weekends.
How to Manage the Cost
Declutter before the move, pack non-fragile items yourself, and book a mid-week date. For Gaithersburg’s three-story townhomes especially, a detailed estimate that accounts for stairs and alley access prevents day-of surprises. Inventory the basement and garage — they often hold more than expected.
