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, itās considerably more affordable.

10 out of 10! These guys were punctual and professional. Had the truck loaded and unloaded in the allotted time and no damage. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again if the need arises.
Armstrong was super conscientious, meticulous, efficient, and kind. I give them my highest recommendation. Mike communicated in advance, and even offered to lend us air mattresses while we waited for our moving pod with our furniture to arrive!
The movers showed up on time and made short work of getting my moving POD filled and secured. They were able to load my safe with no problems, wonderful crew.
They were on time, worked efficiently, were very respectful of our furniture and we are going to use them again in a few days to put the furniture back as we had our hardwood floors redone...very good experience for us!!
All Purpose Movers were amazing. They were truly flexible while we had some scheduling chaos with the pod. We appreciated their speed, efficiency, and overall professionalism. Would love to use their services again next time we move!
The team was fast, careful, and friendly. This was a wonderful service and I would recommend this to anyone. This has taken so much stress out of our move.
Angela and her team arrived on time and with more than enough equipment and workers to rapidly move me out of my house. Extremely easy to work with and respectful of our furniture and personal items. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone moving in and around the Seattle/Tacoma area.
Both movers are courteous and professional. They were on time (actually early). There were more stuff to move around than they expected. But they handled the task well. We will definitely use them again when needed.
Dominic and Brian were amazing. Skilled packers, movers and their team work was spectacular! Respectful, kind and sincere. We will use them in the future! Highly recommend these guys
Mike & team were fantastic. They were very careful with our furniture and expertly handled some of our more difficult pieces. They were also very patient with us when we want to reposition items. Armstrong Moving & Labor will definitely be my first choice for any future moving needs!
These gentlemen were exceptionally fast, professional, extremely kind and went over and beyond with making sure that every box was in the room that it was assigned to.. they were also 1000% careful on not getting the carpet dirty by covering it up because it was extremely muddy outside. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks again Guys!!
WOW. Great crew. Mike, Steve, and Larry were truly exceptional. They carefully unpacked a 16 ft container and placed items where we suggested. Wish I could have had them pack my container at the the departure site. If I move again, they will be my number one pick. Don't hesitate, call them.
