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.

The Cost of Moving in Galveston, TX
In Galveston labor-only moving help typically costs between $360.25 and $458.19.
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 $73.63 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.

The 2 movers who showed up were on time and were pleasant to work with. They didn’t waste any time and thought about how to maximize the placement of items in my UHaul UBoxes. I’d definitely recommend they 2 guys who were assigned to me.
Unbelievable service! They were so organized and hustled the whole time! They were considerate of our items and handled with care! I would recommend them over and over again! They even put everything in each room it needed to go. Fantastic work! I can’t thank you enough!
They were on time, actually checked in with us earlier to see if we were ready. These 2 gentlemen worked their behinds off. Went above and beyond. I would use them again
These guys were absolutely amazing! I was seriously afraid my stuff wouldn't fit but they reassured me multiple times that it would. And everything fit! They were masters of packing. It was also raining hard during our move and they worked to ensure that my stuff was in the rain as little as possible. They were polite, prepared and worked really hard for us. I would give them 10 stars out of 5.
Last minute move request was approved and completed the same day! Great service and friendly, strong movers. Thanks again for giving us a hand with the storage part of our move!
They communicated well with me. Ismaila Diene was the leader. He communicated well with his crew. Each person worked hard and was careful with our items. They packed expertly, carefully, and quickly. I would recommend them to anyone. They were respectful and pleasant to my wife. When it started raining they were sure to get all items to a dry area.
They arrived on time, brought their own moving dollies, and were thoughtful and careful with our property and goods. They worked hard and unloaded our 16' POD with time to spare. We would use them again.
They called before they were due to give me their arrival time and they were on the minute! They worked fast and with care and were extremely courteous. Got done early even though it was in the 90s and humid-- they didn't stop for a minute! I highly, highly recommend this company!
They arrived early. Handled everything with care and went well beyond my expectations. They were extremely personable and wanted to do everything to make this transition for me as easy as possible. I highly recommend them
