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. 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 less expensive.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

The Cost of Moving in El Cerrito, CA
In El Cerrito labor-only moving help typically costs between $305.27 and $663.28.
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 $87.42 an hour.
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.

Carlos and Purcell were excellent! They were kind, timely, and extremely hard-working. I would highly recommend them. We were very stressed leading up to moving day and their expertise and efficiency made things much less stressful. Not only were they respectful of our belongings, they were also friendly and easy to work with. Thank you both!
The team arrived on time and immediately inquired where items were to be placed. Then surveyed the path into the house and where items were to be placed. Almost all the items were placed in garage and were stacked carefully. The unloading of our 16ft PODS took a little over an hour. Wasted no time worked efficiently.
Very professional. They were conscientious of preserving not just the items they were moving but the apartments they were moving things in and out of. Great communication, too.
Those young men were so professional and swift with moving my items into my POD. Everything went very smoothly and I highly recommended the company. The movers customer service was very pleasant and my questions were not only answered promptly but also precisely. Everyone knows how stressful a move can be and im just so grateful that my helpers made it that much smoother. Thank you!
Conner Moving was excellent! They were on time, efficient, and took great care of our things. You could tell they were very experienced. They worked hard and were pleasant and responsive to our needs. I would definitely use them again!
This is the second time we have used this team. They were prompt, courteous and did a wonderful job loading our POD. We would definitely use them again and can highly recommend them!
We had a last minute job and David was super responsive and moved around a job to squeeze us in. They were very efficient and careful with our furniture. We wish we had known they did long distance moves, we would have used them for everything. Highly recommended!!!
Jordan and Kalil were great. They reached out ahead of time, were prompt, polite, respectful and listened. Then they jumped into action. A Piano, a large exercise machine, took beds apart and packed that pod like you wouldn't believe. Still have half open. I will be having them back for part 2. Thanks guys! Susan
Highly rate this team. They showed up on time and got the job done. They were very proactive with communication and showed up with 4 guys ready to do the work. I used them to load up my home into two pods that were going into storage. You could tell they had experiences loading these containers and were very methodical with their approach.
Bob and his son, Isaac, did a great job unloading my Pod container. Friendly and hard working. Also, put together my bed frame with ease. I would highly recommend them and will request them again in the future.
They were extremely polite, got to work in a well organized, hard working manner. They checked in with me regularly to be sure all the pieces and aspects of the loading process were satisfactory and had been included. I definitely would request this team in the future.
The movers were prompt, friendly and professional. Got down to business and took care to move my heavy furniture up the stairs without scuffing the new paint, banisters or new flooring. 100% would use again.
