Emmanuel and Noel were incredible - easy to coordinate with, good at problem solving, and upbeat and positive throughout the move. They hauled a heavy sofa bed up 3 flights of stairs with a smile in 90 degree heat. Would hire them again in a heartbeat! - Elizabeth
Dmetry and Maksim were incredibly reliable and helpful! I had been struggling to get a heavy couch out of my home for months, and they got it done safely and efficiently in less than 30 minutes. I’m so grateful for their help and professionalism. I’ll definitely be using Lugg again in the future! - Tori
Jose and Travis were great! They happily moved my very heavy couch and worked very efficiently. My only suggestion would be to wrap any upholstered furniture in moving blankets to protect it in the future. - Deirdre
Both Bruno and Brett did a very nice job. My washing machine is a combo with dryer in one and its very heavy. They did not give up and did their best to get it moved to my new house. Going up and down the stairs was not easy but these two have teamwork. Thank you both for the hardwork! - Herbert
Incredible movers, super helpful with navigating a really heavy piece out of a difficult space!! Teamwork was excellent between them and helping me with moving the piece both out of the old space and into the new. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. - Julian
Brandon and David were great help in getting an extremely heavy gym equipment down the stairs in the basement. Thanks a lot. - Mona
10 STARS!!! Cannot say enough about Orandae. He was tasked with loading an impossibly heavy wardrobe (which was described - inaccurately - to me as "very light"). He was so incredibly kind and patient, and somehow never stopped smiling. He helped troubleshoot setting the wardrobe up (it came in multiple pieces) and even spent his time helping us level it to make sure it wouldn't tip over. DEFINITELY went above and beyond, and on his way out the door wished me a happy Mother's Day. I hope Lugg recognizes him - what a great guy. Start to finish the best service I could have hoped for. - Cary
Theodore and Garfield are amazing. They had to deal with a very heavy piece of furniture and an annoying situation with our dresser drawers. They were very helpful with advice and handled the whole move like total pros. They are the best - schuyler
We had a very very heavy item and 5 flights of stairs. Both men were super understanding and dealt with it, no questions asked. It was a huge relief for us to get this item and to have such good support. Thanks! - Francesca
These guys managed to get a HEAVY couch up to the top floor of a 4 story walk up. I’m grateful they used moving blankets and plastic in the rain. Thank you! - Phoebe
Mahamad and Luis were so kind and efficient, taking care to wrap everything and doing their best even in heavy traffic. I would be happy to work with them anytime. Super nice guys!  - Elle
Excellent experience! Professional and efficient pick-up of a Facebook Marketplace item when I couldn’t be present. And smooth delivery - they were able to get a large, heavy piece of furniture through small spaces and exactly where we wanted it. Would trust them with any move. - Nicole

Moving a heavy bookcase to a 5th-floor walk-up building was a challenging task. They executed it with remarkable efficiency and demonstrated utmost attention to the safety of the product. Highly recommend! - Minhwan
Matthew and Diego delivered my heavy and large mirror with care. Incredibly friendly guys! Highly recommend! - Becky
I had a great experience with this mcompany. They were professional, on time, and handled my furniture with a lot of care. The movers were efficient and worked quickly while still making sure everything was protected and transported safely. Moving heavy pieces and navigating stairs wasn’t easy, but they managed it without any issues. I really appreciated how smooth they made the whole process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers. - Christine
Extremely efficient and friendly service. I had a heavy wardrobe that needed to be picked up from a fourth floor walk up and the team did a fantastic job. - Matthew
So so quick, efficient, and very polite! Arrived in under an hour and moved an extremelyyy heavy solid wood desk upstairs in less than 10 minutes. - Alina
He arrived promptly and was helpful in navigating a tight staircase and carrying a heavy shelf. Thanks!! - Mila
They personally were very helpful and nice. And curious and worked well. I tipped them on site. I had a a lot of bags and a little furniture and they chose to put the bags in the truck first and they ran out of space. They needed to put the heavy furniture and the lighter bags and art etc in around and on top of the furniture instead. We had to use our own 2 cars to finish the job. That was the only issue that wasn’t troublesome. Thanks - Rhonda
Joshua and Theodore were great! They showed up almost right away after I made the booking, got my (very heavy) things loaded up quickly, and were quick to arrive at my destination. Very friendly and polite, would definitely recommend! - Jennifer
These guys are the best. They were so kind and had such great energy. It was NOT AN EASY MOVE. Super heavy items. They just had a great attitude and solid teamwork. By the end of it, we felt almost energized by having accomplished the move. These guys are solid and I would only want to work with them moving forward. - Elias
Diego and Matthew were beyond fantastic. They couldn’t have been faster, more efficient, or more communicative. I got updates as they got close so I was ready for the move, and when they got there, they expertly wrapped my (very heavy) coffee table in no time. Would 100% use them again. - Tamar
Great movers! Arrived early, worked together to haul heavy things from my old 1st floor apartment to my new 2nd floor apartment, and did it all super quickly. Thanks guys! - Ashley
Robert and Joshua were fantastic. Very friendly, on time, professional. They were great with a very heavy piece of furniture. - Jett

Labor-only moving help means movers without the truck: they come to you, do the lifting, and leave when the work's done. It covers the rental truck you can drive but can't load by yourself, the moving container sitting in the driveway, the sleeper sofa that has to get up three flights of stairs, and the furniture that has to come out before the floors get refinished and go back in once they're dry. Lugg is labor-only moving help in New York City you can book the same day, for the jobs where you've already got the truck or you're not going anywhere at all.
Yes, and finer than that. Lugg bills moving labor by the minute with no hourly minimum, so a 40-minute job costs 40 minutes rather than the two-to-four-hour minimum most moving companies quote. The clock starts when the crew arrives and stops when you say you're done, and if the job runs longer than you planned they can keep working at the same rate. Booking it takes a couple of taps: enter your address, then tap Labor only in the suggestions underneath, and Lugg fills that same address in as the drop-off. Because nothing travels between two addresses, there's no mileage to pay — just the vehicle's base fare and the per-minute labor rate.
Movers load and unload a rental truck, a moving container or a storage unit, carry a single heavy item to a different room — a treadmill down to the basement, a safe across the house, a mattress up a staircase — rearrange a living room before a showing, and break down and clear out tables and chairs after an event. They bring a dolly, moving blankets, stretch wrap and straps, and they can take a bed frame apart and put it back together in the room it's going in. What they won't do is pack loose things into boxes for you: dishes, books, clothes, the junk drawer. Have all of that boxed and taped before the crew arrives, because the clock's running while they wait.
