What Our Labor-Only Moving Service Covers
Not all loads require an entire truck & crew. Many customers already own a truck, container or have one on their friends, and only require trained hands to help them load, unload or rearrange safely. As a local moving company, we need to send a team of 2 to 4 people with the sole purpose of exactly that – wrapping furniture, moving boxes and loading them methodically so that nothing's damaged during the process.
Pricing is just as simple as it is for any other service we provide in the local moving sector: an hourly rate, a definite minimum, and no mileage surcharge charged within our standard area covered, and no extra fees added to the invoice. The same trained professionals and the same insurance coverage are available for all residential moving services, whether you're filling up a rental truck for moving across town or merely requiring assistance to get a couple of large boxes up a flight of stairs.
