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.

Royal Professionals were great! They arrived early, did everything I asked them to do and we're very respectful of my furniture. They moved some of my furniture first so that I could place the new furniture where I wanted it to go. I would definitely use them again!
Great helpful guys. Moved the furniture quickly and without any problems. I had wrapped the furniture worrying about the walls and sides but they made sure to take care when going through doorways and up stairs.
They came out last minute at a very reasonable price. They were professional, efficient, and accommodating. Very friendly and personable. I would recommend their services to anyone.
The American Moving and Storage team that unloaded our household goods did a fabulous job! They arrived on time, were efficient, professional, polite, and completed the job in less time than expected. We recommend them, highly!
This was the best service I ever had. Outside of moving around in the military these men were professional, thoughtful, and considerate. I will recommend them to everybody I see and know that is moving.!!!
The movers did an excellent job. They worked hard and quickly and were careful of the furniture they were moving. They were prompt and courteous. I definitely recommend them!
The crew was efficient, friendly and hard working. They hustled to unload our very, very full 26' moving truck quickly. They were careful and did not damage any of the items, and pointed out several items that had been damaged due to poor packing on the loading end of the trip (by a different firm). Very pleased!
They came 15 minutes earlier than the time their original window, had great communication prior to the move, and worked really hard, even when it began to rain, so I appreciated them very much!
The guys did a really great job packing the truck and miximizing the space to get as much on as possible. Jeff was great and so were the other two on his crew. GREAT JOB!
Kevin and his crew were wonderful! I am so appreciative of their attitude, dedication, hard work, amazing perspective, sweat equity, and just all around wonderful work ethic to make my move not only less stressful and easier for me by doing their jobs so well, but by doing it with such a wonderful attitude. I will Absolutely be calling them when I need to move!!
Anthony and his son arrived on time, quickly assessed what needed to be loaded onto the POD and over the next three hours got it done. They took care to wrap items to ensure safe transit, and packed the POD so that our belongings would not shift during the move. As it turns out, we needed to order another POD, and Roanoke Movers will be here to load that one too!! Highly recommend!!
They not only were on time, they were early. They communicated with us leading up to the move including the day of. They knocked it all out more quickly than the previous movers we had. They were thoughtful about moving the items and where they went in the apartment. I cannot recommend them enough.
