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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Nice young men who wired effectively to insure my things would make to my new house. They went above and beyond my expectations. Would recommend these guys to anyone needing a Hire a helper
John and Tony were absolutely amazing. They worked steadily for four hours; lifting very heavy loads down switch-back stairs and wrapping large pieces of furniture. All the while they were pleasant and polite. I recommend them highly!
Quick, easy, and painless! They arrived on time with such a wonderful attitude. They were efficient and careful with the whole moving process. They worked fast and diligently and were willing to make sure that I was happy with the items moved. They're awesome and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for nice people to get the job done fast!
I will definitely use EZ MOVE again. They were on time, prepared for the job, worked hard, and were respectful of our property. Very easy to work with them.
They took my bed apart and left the lower pegs lying on the floor. I now must go back thru my stored stuff to find those pegs, otherwise my bed will be sitting on the frame at a much lower level. They did pack all that they could, but the pod was just not big enough to take everything.
The two helpers came to my house for 2.5 hours and completely loaded my storage pod with all my furniture. They did an amazing job of packing, utilizing all the space.
Lucas and Noah arrived on time (even a few minutes early) and were personable and friendly. Most importantly, they worked hard the whole time and unloaded our PODS container in 1 1/2 hours. They were respectful of our property and handled everything carefully . . . no bumps or scratches. We would definitely use them again and recommend them!
Lucas and Kevin were such a wonderful help! They were friendly, courteous, reassuring, and knew exactly what they were doing. They finished right on time. I highly recommend these packer/movers!
Moving is a very stressful time. I had a situation where my Pod container might not show up before my movers did. They were very kind and told me they would work with me on the timing. Overall the two staff members that arrived were very professional and thorough. It all worked out and I would recommend this company for anyone. Excellent customer service!
The team was very flexible and right on time after having to reschedule due to fire emergencies in the Northern California area. Both associates came prepared with moving gear and handled all aspects of the move professionally. I would definitely use them again.
Worked hard each minute they were here. They called to let us know their arrival time, arrived at that time. They asked questions when needed and shook our hands when they left. Great job!
Pat, Andre, and Steven was excellent! They were on time, well prepared, worked hard, were extremely respectful, and I will definitely both use and highly recommend them in the future!
