| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Columbus, MI | $476.65 | $1,203.11 |
| Michigan | $476.65 | $1,203.11 |

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.

On time , worked hard and fast. Very respectful, my only complaint was I or my wife had to tell them to wrap and protect furniture over and over. That being said I would use this team again
David and crew were fantastic! They were timely and efficiently moved me in under the time allotted. Complete professionals and would definitely use the service again!
Tavon and Devon were very courteous and professional. Couldn’t have been nicer to work with! They took great care with our furniture and belongings. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing moving assistance. Thank you!
Mr Booker and his team are THE BEST! They communicated about the project, showed up on time, had a great attitude (even though it was a challenging move) and treated our property with care and respect. I highly recommend using this company if the opportunity arises.
Great guys, very hardworking, got everything done quickly with no unnecessary talk, super friendly — highly recommend to everyone. P.S. Usyk is the champion.
Great gentlemen! Joking and laughing the whole time they were working, it was great to hear them interacting with each other. They were all wonderful. I'd highly recommend them all for any job! ??
Mr. Norris and his team, the Grade-A Movers, were extremely careful, conscientious, courteous and professional, with the unloading of the two PODs that stored our household possessions. We highly recommend the Grade-A Movers and will hire them for our future moving needs. RD
I will definitely hire them for my next move! They were AMAZING! Professional and incredibly hard working! I don’t think I could’ve accomplished in 10 hours what they did in 2!! Cannot say enough good things about them!
They did a great job loading the POD. I was amazed at how they were able to fit everything in with some room to spare. They were careful with the items and everything arrived at the destination safely. I would recommend them for another job.
The guys did a great job. I was sobbing the whole time because its a difficult divorce situation and they all hugged me and said they would pray for me.
I highly recommend this company, They were very accommodating as it was raining on the day they were scheduled. Mr. Brown rescheduled with no problem. He arrived on time and completed the work with now problems. Would definitely use this company again
Made my moving experience so smooth and easy!! Which is hard to do. They were so curteous and efficient! Will hire again when I move to my new house!
