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.

The gentlemen I had were funny! I had to apologize to them because I lived on the 2nd floor but we laughed it out and they got everything unload within a 1hr and 20.
Called an hour before they were to show up to confirm. Showed up on time. Were very courteous, professional, careful and methodical. Got everything done in the alotted time. If I could give a higher rating, I would. Thank you John!
Amazing job. Professional, quick, punctual, and did amazing on the job! I will be recommending them to anyone needing movers and will definitely be using them for my next move.
These guys are the best of the best. I hired them for 2 hours. They came in, saw what needed to be done, packed 2 full pods, and were done in that timeframe. It was impressive how quick they worked and how efficiently they got it done. Easily would recommend these guys to anyone.
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.
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!
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.
Fantastic service. Mr. Winston knew his job inside and out. He and his partner moved out items from the 3rd floor apartment to the moving truck. They are professional, efficient and super friendly. No complaints, only praise! Call them; they will do you right!
The guys were amazing. Brian and Todd did an awesome job helping us unload our 26’ budget truck within the time frame we had reserved. Thanks, guys! Y’all were wonderful!
Bernard and Ivan were wonderful. They were courteous and very professional. They wore booties to protect our newly installed carpet and took exceptional care with our furniture. I would highly recommend them for your move.
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.
They accommodated an earlier start time for me. They were quick , efficient, and respectful of my things and home. I would recommend them, they were very friendly and professional. Thanks so much.
