|---|---|---|
| Dunkirk, NY | $446.29 | $1,177.89 |

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.

Very friendly, very concerned with my wishes, and very careful. My move was a lot of heavy items and they did very well. I would definitely use them again.
Terrific movers! Very accommodating and helpful getting everything arranged and put together, careful with my things not to damage anything, got there on time and worked quickly - could not ask for a better moving experience.
Gave a call 30 min before and arrived at location promptly. Did a quick evaluation of what needed to move. Did a quick 10 min planning and post that worked continuously for 1.5 hrs to finish the work. Devin & team did a good job.
Moving team was a puzzle master when packing my belongings on my moving truck. The load didn’t move at all from Buffalo,NY to North Carolina. Thank you so much !!!
They worked like dogs in the heat & going upstairs & Devin. & the other 2 men were great. Remember these guys have to pay to be on site to hirer. So if u need help USE THIS COMPANY
The movers were pleasant, professional and courteous. They arrived on time and ready to work immediately. They worked hard and took extra effort and care of my solid wood furniture. I definitely would use them again.
Devin & Todd showed up on time and they unloaded our 26ft truck in the 2 hours we reserved! They were very good about asking how we wanted things stacked in our storage unit and they were very careful with all of the items. I would recommend them for anyone needing the help to move heavy items and just all around moving! Great job Devin & Todd!
The guys were awesome! They called and arrived shortly after time they were scheduled to arrive. They came prepared to do the job and worked hard the entire time. They were respectful of our property and goods and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!
Lucas was HUGE help. I had a 12x12 POD that was scheduled to be emptied at 4. They finished up their first job early and were able to finish my move by NOON! It was great, very communicative and accommodating to my situation. We only spoke on the phone but I’d recommend them to anyone moving soon.
I needed help moving a couple King Mattresses up a very long flight of indoor stairs, one was already stuck in the stair well from my wonderful efforts. These guys were very professional, courteous, and did their job well. We were concerned with the ceiling being damaged and they didn't touch the ceiling at all. Thank you so much, we will need your services again at the end of June.
This team was great. They arrived right on schedule. We were very satisfied with their work. They were courteous and got the job done quickly and efficiently. We recommend this team highly, they were excellent in every way. We would definitely use them again. Conrad R, Williamsville, NY
My two helpers were great! They were on time, had everything I lacked, and did a miraculous job filling my POD. [Bob was incredible] They also helped calm my freakouts. I'll use them again when I need help, and recommended it to my friends when the time comes.
