Labor Only Services
LABOR ONLY SERVICES
If you are moving to another home or just need something moved close-by, you can rely on Suburban Solutions and our LABOR ONLY Services. A lot of people think that moving is a hard and time consuming process. While this can certainly be true, if you hire a moving company to do the hauling for you, then you can focus on the fun parts. Moving to a new house or apartment signifies a new change in your life so you should embrace it! To ensure everything goes smoothly when you move, here we answer some frequently asked questions about the moving process:
When is the best time to move?
If you have the luxury of being able to choose when you can move, consider choosing the off season during fall or winter. A lot of people decide to move come the summer season and because of this, moving services can be much more expensive. Plus, no one likes carrying heavy boxes in the sweltering heat!
How will I know what kind of moving service I should get?
The answer to this question all depends on where and how far away you are moving. If you are simply moving across town, all you’ll need is a local moving service. But if you’re moving a longer distance like across state or across the country, a long distance moving company is your best bet as they will have all the tools and services you’ll need for a move that can take days. At Suburban Solutions, we offer both long distance moving and LABOR ONLY Services.
How will I know how much moving will cost me?
Here at Suburban Solutions, we can give you a free estimate when you call. All you have to do is explain where you are moving, how big your home is, whether you want packing services, how quickly you need to relocate, and provide other pertinent details. While we can do an estimate over the phone, it can help to have us visit to take a look ourselves or send photographs!
What is a relocation specialist?
A relocation specialist is someone who will come to your home and take a survey of all the items that need to be moved. They will look at what you have — anything from bed frames to tools and clothing– and come up with an estimated weight and the corresponding costs to pack, ship, and deliver your items to your new home. Most moving companies use one of these specialists, and it is common to not know an exact quote of how much your moving cost really will be until they have visited your home in person.
What is a bill of lading and why is it important?
A bill of lading is incredibly important during the moving process. It is the overall receipt of your goods and the contract you sign with your mover to transport your items. You should receive this as soon as your mover comes and prepares your shipment, and it also covers the movers from any liability. Think of this bill of lading as a contract and you shouldn’t complete your move without it.
At Suburban Solutions, we believe in being as transparent as possible when it comes to billing and the contract, whether you hire us for a long distance move, short distance move, junk removal, LABOR ONLY Services, or something else!
Will my items be protected if they are damaged during travels?
Yes, you will be covered when it comes to damages up to a specific amount. You will determine this amount before you pay for your services, and this will be included in your bill of lading. You don’t have to worry about a stressful moving when working with our company. Get the process started by calling our office today.
What is “labor only” services?
Sometimes you need to rearrange things around the house or lend furniture to the family next door. This is exactly what our LABOR ONLY service is designed for.
Without the need for a truck, we can provide the same quality of service at a reduced rate and get even the simplest of moves done the right way.
What is loading/unloading truck services?
We like to give you options. Let’s say you want to rent your own trucks but don’t want to do the heavy lifting during the load and unload. Or, if you are having a pod or other storage device being delivered to your home, we can provide prompt service to load or unload your belongings for you. No matter what the scenario, we’ve got you covered! Our LOAD/UNLOAD options let you provide the transportation while we do the work. No matter how small or big the job, our #1 priority is YOU. Moving within the same building? We can help you here, too!
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Suburban Solutions today to find out more about the various types of moving assistance we offer, such as LABOR ONLY Services!

These gentlemen provided a great service. There was a small mix-up on the inventory but we were able to workout a solution all sides found acceptable. We 100% would recommend to others in future, just do yourself and them a service and remember this: no item too small for the inventory.
Nick B.6/27/2021Great experience all around. Estimate process was quick, easy, and accurate. Excellent communications with the coordinator. Move occurred on 6/23/21--The 3-man crew was extremely fast, professional, and careful. End to end it only took 2 hours. Currently recommending to a co-worker for a move from Woodbridge, and will absolutely keep these folks in mind for any future move needs.
Erik P.6/26/2021Josh and crew were awesome! They were courteous, on time and fast! This was the 2nd time I used Suburban Solutions and they did not disappoint! Thank you so much!
Jennifer B.6/25/2021 -
I was referred to this company by name from my realtor in Howard county that serves numerous clients in the area, and had a prior client with a very positive experience. Suburban Movers wrapped, loaded, transported, unloaded, placed exactly by my request in the new home, and unwrapped over 70 boxes/bins and furniture for a 3000 sqft house (including a... read more
Kevin S.6/20/2021These guys did a great job with my move last month! It was a bit more than I was initially quoted ($725 for a one bedroom apt move across the city) but they saved me a lot of pain and hassle and were flexible when my couch was super difficult to get into the elevator. I forget the names of... read more Bowman D.6/17/2021Fantastic experience with this company. The crew was on time, polite and professional.

Careful, cheerful, reliable, worked with me on last minute change in plan. Great service for a reasonable price. Will with call them again when I move. Vicki H.6/08/2021I can't speak to the moving experience. I can say that the planning team were extremely responsive and set up a call to run a virtual inventory with me. Unfortunately they were unable to accommodate my schedule due to their other commitments, and my lack of flexibility. It was great they were up front about this rather than try to... read more Jamie P.5/27/2021Eric M and Joe did a fantastic job with my local dc move!! Can't say great things. They were professional, careful and efficient, and attentive to any and all details (e.g. narrow stairwell, small items to different rooms, parked in two locations). My move took between 2 and 3 hours: the rate and service could not be beat. Stress free!... read more Rose G.5/27/2021

I’ve used Suburban Solutions a handful of times over the years and have never been disappointed. This time in particular was truly a great experience, as it was a challenging move that required the guys to haul furniture up my steep driveway plus the steps into the house. They were 100% professional, while also keeping an incredibly positive and light... read more
Melissa K.5/17/2021We used suburban solutions to move to a house in the suburbs and out of the city. The quote they gave us was a great price, and accurate compared to what the total ended up being. The guys were nice and super efficient. All of our items were disassembled, wrapped up and reassembled in perfect condition. 10/10 would reccomend!
Victoria L.5/16/2021The crew of three arrived a few minutes earlier for my move. Their efficiency, strength and organization continued throughout the morning. They were so pleasant, polite and respectful of my property. The quote was so accurate both in time and cost. I highly recommend this company. Judith B.5/04/2021Did a great job moving our furniture! Showed up on time, worked hard and nonstop on a hot day with many stairs involved. The crew was friendly and professional and took great care moving my piano and other valuable items. Highly recommend! Audrey W.5/01/2021 -
I cannot recommend Suburban Solutions enough if you have an upcoming move. Everything from getting a quote to moving day was easy breezy! Fred and TJ were incredible to work with on moving day, and to say they completed my move fast was an understatement (I truly think it was record timing). They were punctual and handled all of my... read more
Holly P.4/26/2021I've used many moving companies in the past, and Suburban Solutions was by far the most professional and quality service.

They were... read more

Chuck, Chris and their partner (whose name I did not catch but I think it was Daryl) were all professional, courteous and quick. They made sure all of my furniture was properly wrapped, padded and accounted for, especially in the middle of a driving rain storm that made it a challenge. Chuck even went above and beyond to disassemble and... read more

Carson C.4/01/2021Cannot say enough good things about Suburban. The estimate process was easy and the quote was the best by far compared to other companies. Moving day was great. The guys (lead by Elijah ( I hope I got his name correct), Brett and Kurt) showed up on time and worked for almost 7 hours without practically a break. These guys... read more
Steve M.3/30/2021Great group. From the beginning, Brian was very prompt, knowledgeable and really helpful - shot me straight about estimates for a cross country move. Ended up using Suburban Solutions to simply load a 6x12 trailer. Eddie, Eric and Josh got me squared away in less than 2 hours without issue. Still not sure how they got everything in this trailer.... read more
