What is Moving Labor?

Moving labor refers to services provided by hired professionals to help with the physical aspects of a move. This includes tasks such as packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking your belongings. Essentially, moving labor is the manpower that handles the heavy lifting and meticulous placement of your items, ensuring they are safely transported from one location to another.



At Makin Moves, moving labor means experienced professionals come to your home or business equipped with the skills and tools necessary to efficiently move your belongings. It's important to note that moving labor services do not typically include the provision of a moving truck or transportation of goods. Instead, our role is to assist with the manual labor and organization of your items, making the process of moving less overwhelming for you.

How is it Different from Full-Service Movers?

Moving labor services are distinct from full-service movers in several key ways. Full-service movers provide a comprehensive package that typically includes the supply of a moving vehicle, driving, and sometimes even packing and unpacking services. In contrast, moving labor services like those offered by Makin Moves focus solely on the labor component of your move.

This specialization means that you would be responsible for arranging the transportation of your belongings. However, it also provides greater flexibility and often results in cost savings. You can tailor the services to your specific needs, such as hiring moving labor for loading and unloading only while handling the packing independently.

Choosing moving labor over full-service movers can be particularly advantageous if you have access to a moving vehicle or if you prefer to have more direct control over the various aspects of your move. Makin Moves provides the expertise and physical work to ensure your belongings are safely and efficiently moved to their new location.

When you choose Makin Moves for your moving needs, you're not just getting an extra set of hands; you're gaining access to a team of seasoned professionals. Each member of our crew is trained to handle your belongings with the utmost care and precision.

Our reputation as experts in the field is built on a foundation of trust and consistent performance. We pride ourselves on being problem-solvers who can adapt to the unique challenges each move may present. From navigating bulky items through tight spaces to strategically loading a truck for maximum efficiency, our team's expertise ensures that every aspect of your move is managed with skill and attention to detail.

Community-Oriented Values

Makin Moves is deeply rooted in the communities of New York and South Carolina. Our values reflect a commitment not only to the individuals and businesses we serve but also to the wider community. We understand that moving is more than a transaction; it's a pivotal moment in our clients' lives, and we treat it with the respect it deserves.

Planning Your Move with Makin Moves

A well-planned move is a successful move. When you decide to work with Makin Moves, we encourage you to start planning as early as possible. Here are a few tips to consider:

• Assess Your Inventory: Make a detailed list of items you plan to move. This will help us understand the scope of work and provide an accurate quote.
• Schedule in Advance: Book your moving labor early to secure the date that works best for you. Makin Moves often has a busy schedule, and advanced booking ensures that you get the high-quality service you expect.
• Communicate Specific Needs: If you have items that require special handling or if there are access issues at your location, let us know ahead of time so we can prepare accordingly.
• Pack Wisely: If you're doing your own packing, make sure boxes are properly sealed and labeled. This makes the loading and unloading process more efficient.

By taking these steps, you can minimize the stress of moving day and ensure a smooth transition to your new home or office with the help of Makin Moves.

Preparing for Moving Day

To ensure a smooth moving day with Makin Moves, preparation is key. Here are essential steps to take:

• Verify Details: Double-check the moving date, time, and services scheduled with Makin Moves. Confirm that you have provided accurate directions and contact information.
• Clear Pathways: Ensure that all pathways, both inside and outside the property, are clear of obstacles. This will allow for safe and efficient movement of your items.
• Secure Valuables and Personal Items: Set aside valuables, personal documents, and essentials that you will transport yourself. This step helps prevent important items from being misplaced during the move.
• Prepare Appliances: If applicable, disconnect and clean appliances before the moving team arrives. Some items may require special preparation, so consult the owner's manuals or ask Makin Moves for advice.

By addressing these areas in advance, you'll make moving day more organized and help our team provide you with the best possible service.

After the Moves: Next Steps

Once the last box has been unloaded and the Makin Moves team has departed, your journey is not quite over. Here are some next steps to help you settle in:

• Inspect Your Belongings: As you unpack, check your items for any potential damage that may have occurred during the move. If you find any issues, contact Makin Moves promptly to discuss.
• Organize Your Space: Take time to thoughtfully arrange your furniture and belongings. It's often easier to make adjustments now rather than after you've fully settled in.
• Update Your Address: Remember to update your address with relevant parties, such as the post office, banks, and subscription services to ensure you receive important mail and deliveries.
• Explore Your New Community: Get to know your new surroundings. Introduce yourself to neighbors, find local services, and start feeling at home in your new community.

Following these steps will help you transition smoothly into your new environment and start this new chapter on the right foot.
