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, itâs considerably more affordable.

The team was great. They worked very hard and as quickly as they could. They made adjustment as needed depending on the places we were moving out of and into. Very respectful team.
Mark and Travis were fabulous. Kept in touch w me to confirm they were coming, showed up right on time, worked fast and hard and carefully. Would definitely hire these guys again.
Yes, Mike and Rick were on time, came prepared and worked hard. I was concerned we might not have enough room in our storage unit but they packed everything very well and were very organized. They also took special care with artwork and fragile items. Marshall was easy to deal with and was very understanding when we had to change our time due to travel issues. We would use them again!
The two gentleman sent to help were tops. Great guys definitely knew what they were doing. Also if you needed something else done ( with packing) they did it no questions asked. Thanks Mike and James.
My movers showed up on time and were ready to get started immediately. They continuously asked me for input on which boxes / furniture should go into each room before moving it and confirming it's placement inside. I only wish I had hired these guys to load my container in Virginia.
Neil and Marcus did a fantastic job for us! They arrived early. They were professional, hard-working, and personable. They answered all our questions and helped us with advice about packing a few of the more difficult items. A great job! We hired them for two hours and they got it all done in under one hour. Bravo!! Brad and Pam Ethington
Went from overwhelmed to stress-free! Handy Hands called in advance to confirm, arrived on time, listened to my (countless) concerns, and completed the job well and in exactly the suggested time. They were thoughtful and skillful in loading the moving pod - while making sure I knew they could handle it with ease. Will definitely hire and recommend Handy Hands again.
Best movers in the area! Veteran owned and operated, reliable and a pleasure to work with. Relocating out-of-state, three bedroom house with 4 tons of goods, and this crew arrives with two professionals who loading the POD container in no time with a great attitude and sense of responsibility. I will always recommend to anyone that needs help.
Very respectful guys, were hired last minute. It was great that they showed up at the crack of dawn, as I knew they actually had to drive almost 2 hours to do the job! They worked hard and got the job done well, and very quickly.
They arrived on time and finished the job quickly. They were very careful with my belongings and made sure not to damage the wood floors when moving furniture and other large items. It was about 95 degrees on the day I moved, but it didn't seem to phase them! Derek was communicative and confirmed everything ahead of time.
C&S Lending Hands were wonderful! We confirmed all the details before the move date and the two hours I booked were used very efficiently. They packed our relocation cubes with great care and were super helpful with making sure items were secure. Lovely to work with, and I’d definitely hire them again. So wish they were available at our end location! Highly recommend them!
I would highly recommend this company to help move you. They were on time, polite and efficient. Price was reasonable. They came the day after I put in my request and I appreciated that they could help on short notice.
