Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Carmel, ME

In Carmel labor-only moving help typically costs between $410.75 and $459.46. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $88.59 an hour.

Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Carmel is what we’re here for.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

On time, prepared, worked quickly and carefully and got an entire 20 foot moving truck unloaded into a two-story house in the allotted time. Not a scratch on anything.

These guys are some hard-working gentlemen! Punctual, respectful, and very understanding when my answer to ‘where does this go’ was “Ummm...” almost half the time. Already recommended them to my neighbors and will continue to use them anytime I can. Use them and be satisfied with your choice.
