🛋️Single-Item & Labor-Only Moves
One couch, one appliance — or two movers to load the truck you already rented.
Not every move is a whole house. A lot of our work in West Philadelphia is one heavy thing: a sleeper sofa bought off Marketplace in Fishtown that needs to get to a third floor in Spruce Hill, or a washer coming out of a basement. We also do labor-only — you rent the truck or the container, and we bring the muscle, the dollies, and the knowledge of how to pack a load so it doesn't shift.
What's included
- ✓ Two experienced movers and a truck sized for the piece
- ✓ Pickup from a store, a warehouse, or a stranger's living room, and delivery into the room you want it
- ✓ Stair carries — including third-floor walk-ups, which is most of what we do
- ✓ Load-only or unload-only help if you've rented a truck, a trailer, or a portable container
- ✓ Careful handling of awkward single pieces: safes, treadmills, appliances, oversized art
- ✓ Removal of doors or a banister where that's the only way a piece clears, then putting them back
How it works
- 1 Send us the item, both addresses, and how many flights of stairs are at each end.
- 2 We give you a flat price or a short hourly minimum, whichever is cheaper for the job.
- 3 We show up with the right equipment for that specific piece rather than whatever's on the truck.
- 4 We move it and set it where you want it — including up the stairs.
Signs you need this
- • You bought something secondhand and it will not fit in a car
- • A single appliance needs to come out of a basement or go up to a second floor
- • You've rented a truck and realised you have nobody to help load it
- • A safe, treadmill, or appliance needs to move and you're not attempting that yourselves
- • A delivery company dropped a piece at the curb and left it there
Frequently asked
Is there a minimum for a single item?
Yes, usually a two-hour minimum, which for most single-item jobs covers the whole thing including drive time. For a straightforward pickup and delivery we'll often quote a flat price instead so you know the number exactly.
Can you do labor-only if I've rented a U-Haul or a PODS container?
Yes, and it's a good way to cut the cost of a move. You provide the truck or container; we load it properly, which matters more than most people expect. A badly packed load shifts, and things break on I-76 rather than on the stairs.
Will you pick something up from a seller for me?
Yes. We do a lot of Facebook Marketplace and estate-sale pickups across the city. Give us the seller's address, the window they'll be home, and where it's going.
