|---|---|---|
| Dane, WI | $514.13 | $1,263.71 |

What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.

I met David and Derek when my son moved and I was so impressed and called them for my move. They are super nice, fast, professional and I can't thank them enough. Great service! I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Zach was very professional about keeping us informed of time changes. He and his helper were right on time and got right to work loading the Pod. Would definitely hire again.
These guys were fantastic! They came masked up and ready to work. They did a masterful job of loading the truck and packing it efficiently. We still had some packing and loading to do that wasn’t ready for them but to load yet. They gave us great advice for how to load the remaining boxes when they were ready. I definitely recommend them and would hire them again.
Overall, they did a fine job. I had to do a little directing here and there, and fragile boxes were sometimes not put at the top of piles. But these are minor issues. The price is competitively low, and the guys are friendly.
The 2 young men that moved everything from my 16' POD to new addition were quick, efficient, allowed for my input, and were very courteous. They took about 1 1/2 hours to move large pieces of furniture into home and put all other boxes in garage. Would recommend, on time, neat.
Definitely recommend. Our helpers (Damon and Jake) were fast, fast, fast. Really, they arrived within the planned window, worked continuously and efficiently, were concerned about not damaging my items (more so than even I would have been, honestly), and were clearly experienced in packing a moving truck. If you've got the $, treat yourself to some help and be amazed how quick things happen.
Al and his team went out of their way to make things happen, even when we had some unexpected things come up. We appreciated their timeliness, integrity, and hard work.
Zach was very accommodating and we were able to move a day earlier than I expected, which was great for me. He and Joe were on time and worked very hard until the job was finished. They were well-prepared, professional, and very respectful of our property and the apartment where we were moving in. I would recommend Zach’s Moving and would definitely hire him again. He went the extra mile!
These guys were prompt/on time and extremely helpful. They organized everything in a way that was secure and orderly, asking questions to verify if an item was indeed going along the way. I'd absolutely give these guys a call again if/when I'm moving in the area again.
They were a little late because another job ran long but they kept me informed via text. They brought their own furniture dollies and were efficient. They were definitely more careful with my stuff than I had been when I packed it!! The job took a little under the 2 hours that I had paid for so they stayed around and helped put some furniture together. I would definitely use again.
AJ and company showed up within the specific time range and ready to get the job done. Mainly just some heavy furniture moves up/down stairs. They were friendly and comfortable to work with. I definitely recommend and will use their services again.
Awesome, professional and knew how to pack a truck. They moved what I told them and even did more because they were so fast. They worked really hard the full 2 hours we had them.
