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 Lake Forest, CA
In Lake Forest labor-only moving help typically costs between $445.93 and $826.21.
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 $85.09 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.

BC Moving Labor has helped us move into our apartment and just helped us move out and both times I was blown away by their professionalism! We had a POD and they organized it perfectly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing help moving!
Daniel and his crew were incredible. On time, professional, and efficient. I was very impressed with their ability to maneuver around tight corners and lift heavy items. Thank you!
The movers arrived right on time and were both respectful and professional throughout the entire process. They clearly knew what they were doing. After taking a look at everything we had, they advised us to go with a larger POD, and they were right. While their service was on the pricier side, the peace of mind and expert help made it well worth it. Highly recommend!
They arrived on time. They were very courteous and helpful. Furthermore, they completed the job in the time allotted. I would highly recommend them for your job!
Packed the POD without a single wasted space. Very efficient and personable packers. Even arrived early (which was great). Definitely using them for the unpack in a few months.
John & Brian were AMAZING! One of our concerns was, did we order the right size container for all our stuff. We measured it, but thankfully John’s 11 years of experience allowed him to assess our situation and over deliver on our expectations. We HIGHLY recommend them for your moving needs.
Daniel and his team showed up on time, Work hard non-stop through the entire time And were very careful to take care of everything as they moved it around. I would definitely hire again.
The movers were excellent!!! I had my doubts after speaking with the office staff because I was not aware of a few things I needed. The movers Bernard and Ivan are highly recommended!
The 2-person team who helped pack my POD did an amazing job!!! They communicated well, worked with me to get as much as possible in the POD, and were super friendly. Can’t say enough to thank both of them for their quality work. Will definitely use them again in the future!
They were on time and fast. They worked hard and packed my trailer tightly saving me so much space and money. I recommend 3 movers, the extra person was key in keeping things moving during disassembling and demounting furniture and TV. I would book them again for a future move.
The movers showed up on time and were amazing! They packed the storage unit like a Jenga game, and were very careful with our belongings. 10/10 review.
I could not recommend these guys enough, they came in, got all my boxes out and packed efficiently in under two hours. They were kind, they helped me pack up some last-minute things that weren’t packed, and answered all my questions. They were wonderful.
