Priced by the Hour, Not by the Job

Raul, Mike, and Kevin were amazing. They took extreme care in wrapping all of our big heavy furniture and did a wonderful job moving my baby grand Piano. I will definitely be using them again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Labor-Only Movers

Discover answers to common queries about our moving services, pricing, and process in our FAQ section below.

Do I need to rent my own truck?

Arrow Down

Yes, labor-only pricing assumes you’ve already arranged a truck, trailer, or POD. If you’d rather we handle the truck too, see our Local Moving or Long Distance Moving services instead.

What if I only need help unloading, not loading?

Arrow Down

That’s fine, you can book labor-only help for loading, unloading, or both, whether you’re moving into Brandon, Wesley Chapel, or elsewhere in the Bay Area.

Do you bring your own equipment?

Arrow Down

Yes, our crews bring dollies, furniture pads, and straps. You just need to supply the truck.

How is labor-only priced?

Arrow Down

By the hour, with a set minimum. The final cost depends on crew size and how long the job takes.

Are The Movers Employees Of Skyway Moving?

Arrow Down

Yes, all our movers are employees of Skyway Moving & Storage! We do not hire temp or day laborers.

Do Moving Costs Change On Moving Day?

Arrow Down

No, they should not. The written estimate we provide is an estimated price. There are no “moving day surprises” when you deal with Skyway Moving & Storage.

Do You Offer Storage?

Arrow Down

Yes, Skyway Moving offers temporary storage space in a brand new climate controlled and secure storage facility, if needed by clients.

How Do I Avoid Moving Scams?

Arrow Down

Unfortunately, scams are across the state and around the country. Whether you hire Skyway Moving & Storage or not, we always recommend that you research a moving company thoroughly. Focus especially on areas such as estimated pricing, online reviews, and proper licensing.

Do I Want a Full-Service Mover?

Arrow Down
It can definitely help make your move go smoother. A full-service mover offers packing, unpacking, disassembly, and reassembly of light furniture (such as beds).
Some smart pre-moving steps include:
  • Purge the items you don’t want to be moved
  • Donate food items – you don’t want to fill up space with food that might spoil
  • If you do your own packing, make sure it’s all completed before the movers arrive and ready to go from a central location
  • Make sure there is a clear path for movers to take items from your home to the truck
  • Have list of any items you need to be disassembled before transport

Do I Need to Pack Everything Myself?

Arrow Down

No. At Skyway Moving & Storage, we offer packing services if required.

I Have Expensive Artwork, Can Movers Handle That?

Arrow Down

That depends on the mover. At Skyway Moving & Storage, we have experience in moving fragile items, including artwork.

What Can I Do On Moving Day?

Arrow Down

Know that some items might not be best transported by movers. This includes pets and plants. Also, at the destination, have a good idea of where you want all the boxes and furniture placed before the movers arrive. This helps make the move more efficient and effective.

Should I Tip My Mover?

Arrow Down

Tipping your movers is not required, but it is always appreciated.
