✔ Moving heavy furniture inside a home or office

We show up with the right tools, like dollies, furniture sliders, moving straps, moving blankets, and protective floor boards. These aren’t “optional extras” — they’re part of how we protect your belongings.

What Is Labor-Only Moving?
Real Help. Just the Muscle.
Labor-Only Moving means you hire trained professionals to do the physical work — without the moving truck. You provide the vehicle or container, and we do everything that involves lifting and placing.
This is great if:
- You’re doing the drive to your new place yourself
- You already own or rented your own truck
- You just need help loading and unloading
- You want to save money compared to full-service movers
Who Benefits Most From Labor-Only Moving
People choose a labor-only crew for a few good reasons:
Budget-Friendly Moving
You pay only for the hands you need — not the drive time or truck rental.
Quick Moves or Same-Day Help
Need help fast? We often have availability to book soon, especially for loading and unloading help.
Strong Teams That Know What They’re Doing
Some services in Milwaukie list helpers only — movers without professional training can scratch floors or misload your truck. We don’t send amateurs.
Flexible Hours
Morning, afternoon, evenings — you pick a time that works with your move.

How Our Labor-Only Process Works
Here’s what makes us different from just booking random helpers off a marketplace site:
Talk With a Real Person First
We ask what needs to move, how many items, and what tools you’ve got.
Clear, Honest Pricing
You’ll know upfront what you’re paying per hour.
No surprises.
We Bring the Right Gear
Dollies, blankets, straps, and pads — all included when needed.
Efficient and Safe Moving
Safe lifting techniques, careful item wrapping, and smart truck/pod organization — done right.
On-Time & Friendly Crew
Respectful, punctual movers who actually listen to your instructions.
Common Mistakes People Make — And How We Avoid Them
Here’s the thing. Most people think they can “just hire two guys for a couple hours and it’ll be fine.” But here’s what actually happens if they don’t plan right:
- Movers show up without equipment
- Items shift in the truck and get damaged
- Stairs and tight halls turn into hazards
- Heavy furniture gets scratched or dented
We eliminate that by coming prepared with tools and safety know-how. No guessing. No damage.
Trust You Can Feel
You deserve moving help you can trust. That’s why we’re committed to:
Licensed & Compliant Crews
We meet Oregon moving labor standards and run background checks.
Professional Training
Our crews are trained in safe lifting and proper handling.
Transparent Pricing
All quotes are clear with no hidden fees.
