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.

I am very pleased with the unload. This company was a life saver. I hired another company that failed to show up. I would recommend this company to anyone needing their moving service. Great job!!!
Gary and Melissa are no-nonsense professionals! Arrived and got to work quick. No white space, packed tight. I appreciated that they asked good questions about what needed to go on the truck versus not. Would definitely hire again!
Andre and Devante were exceptional. They are very professional and efficient. We would definitely hire Ace Movers again and request these two gentlemen. Thanks Ace Movers.
Arrived on time, both in great shape and positive attitudes. I had a 16' pod that I was worrying about getting everything into. They made it happen. Would definitely recommend/use again.
Chuck and Nathan did an AWESOME JOB!!! I could not have asked for better helpers. They were courteous and professional. I will definitely recommend them to all of my friends who need this type of service. Thank you.
The guys who showed up to do the heavy lifting of everything from the rented truck into my house were very courteous, respectful and careful of my personal belongings. They showed up on time and worked tirelessly for the time they were hired.
The team arrived on time. With 3 helpers. The men asked what room to place things in but did not organize them, just put them anywhere there was room. That made it very hard when we went behind them to organize what had to be moved and what did not. They were fast. Thanks
The guys that showed up were on time & awesome workers. They did a great job unloading the trucks with no damage to our stuff. I would greatly reccomend them to others.
The guys were very hard workers and very respectful to us. However, they were kinda careless moving the furniture. A couple pieces of furniture were damaged. We would probably use them again if they were more careful.
Very friendly, gentle with furniture, willing to rearrange furniture with patience when it didn't fit where originally planned. Called the day before to confirm, arrived on time, and unloaded truck in an efficient and orderly manner.
They were very friendly and efficient. Work was completed professionally and within the 2 hour time frame. They worked around me putting my things together to make setup easier for me. I would recommend them for any move!
Chris was a pleasure to work with, from the introduction call until the last piece was loaded! Both he and his associate were not ok professional but also cordial and respectful! I would whole heartedly recommend them and if the need ever arises, I would use them again!
