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.

On-time, went to work fast, was very careful not to mark furniture, walls, door frames, etc. Moved a heavy 4 piece entertainment center and executive desk from garage to an upstairs office with stairs that had a bend in them. They were very courteous and polite. I would recommend using again.
They are very professional and arrived before time and got right to work. The worker were very professional and got the work completed well before the time allowed. I work recommend anyone use them. If I ever come back to the area I would definitely be using them again.
For a 24 hour notice I'm so happy that I made the request! I was so stressed out with the move and they made it so easy. On time, called me to tell me when they would be coming, moved everything where I requested and if I didn't say they asked. What a team!!!
Very professional and respectful of our property. By far the best money spent on our move. On a scale of 1 to 10 they would get an 11.....we have already referred your company to our realitor
These guys are awesome! They are prompt, friendly, courteous, clean and careful. Who ever thought moving furniture could be such a pleasant experience. Seriously if you're moving don't hesitate to call these guys and girls, I can't say enough they made a very stressful time into a breeze. I will definitely be contacting them for any future moving needs! Thanks again y'all! Jimmy M.
A pleasure to have Duck Solutions. We had extra pods dropped all at once and the team unloaded 3 instead of 1. All in the allotted time. Many thanks. Rodger Langley
Jenny's Movers did a fabulous job helping us with our move. I spoke with Jenny arranging the logistics and they were quite flexible with us as the rain had slowed us down with another part of our move. They arrived promptly at the arranged time, the guys were efficient, fast, and had great senses of humour! I'd definitely hire them again.
The company was great to work with. I needed to change the time I needed a crew and they were able to accommodate the change with no issues. The crew was courteous and polite. They unloaded the truck fast and were willing to set things up for us. They treated the furniture like it was their own. Highly recommend this company and will use again.
Nice team! The arrived on time and were very careful and efficient. Finished the job with time to spare and no damage. I would hire these two guys again!
Great guys. Showed up on time did a very fast and efficient job. Unloaded a 24 foot truck and a 16 foot truck and a 9x12 Uhaul trailer enclose 3 guys in 3 hours??
This is our second time using M&M Moving Services and I will say that the 4 guys that came out this time did a great job, They did not stay on break, sneak off and did what I asked them to do.
They were timely with their arrival and finished the job in just a little over an hour! They were kind and respectful, handling our things with care. I would recommend them and I would use them again!
