Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

Germantown, NY $446.34 $1,178.21

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.

Fast Movers
Ryan and Jeanne arrived 10 min. before their scheduled arrival time, and went right to work. In addition to carrying a mattress up to the attic, they moved a number of heavy chests. Then they assembled a bed that had come in a box. I thought it would be a nightmare to assemble but they had the tools and put it together in 15 minutes. Incredible. These folks were friendly, fast, and a pleasure to have in our home. I would recommend them to anyone.
