Really appreciated Jose and Francesco doing the heavy lifting for me today, they even adjusted the placement of the heavy dresser once planted as the fabric underneath wasn’t centered. Great guys! Phone calls and texts weren’t going through and they still figured out a way to find my house. TY! - Stephanie
Jose & Michael were both fantastic. Helped me move my very heavy refrigerator. I hope to use them again! Thank you. - Lawton
Super friendly with great communication. They worked super hard to get my heavy sleeper sofa in the house! Highly recommend! - Carrie
We thought they both were awesome. Very professional, very careful with our stuff and they were quick. We had some very heavy things and they handled it well. We tipped them $50 and I wanted to tip more so I’m happy I could add more here. I will be using you guys again. I’d like to mention that I had ordered the help only two days ago. Ours was not a move to another house yet but getting ready to stage the house and we needed to move a lot of things into our garage and upstairs ADU. The Lugg service was exactly what we needed. Thank you so much! - Lynmichelle
Laura and Juan were awesome. Heavy piece of equipment and they worked great as a team to move it perfectly in my gym. - Jamie
José and Juan came in and went right to work on lifting and carrying a very heavy bathroom vanity up 17 steps to my second floor! Theses guys worked quickly and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to everyone I know. - Jaden
Jay and Jordan was friendly, amazing and strong. They helped to take the heavy massage chair upstairs with ease. Thank you so much. - Eran
Angel and Mauro worked as a great team to get deliver a very heavy armoire and get it up my stairs! They made sure everything was seemless from great communication about the plan to making sure the item was in just the right spot. Rockstar work. Can’t recommend them enough! - Kate
Jamal & Marco were great! Friendly, efficient, and they worked cooperatively as a team. What a relief to have had them help me move a heavy sofa and desk from my cottage. Thank you! - Jessica
Arrived on time and professional, friendly, and strong! Protected the washer/dryer combo from injury, it’s extremely heavy but they never tilted it, even up 3 steps at my home. They made sure they could park where they did and worked well together! Trustworthy, too! - bernadette
Jimmy & Denis were so positive while moving our heavy marble table. They wrapped the top like a professional moving company and handled it with such care. They did a great job and would trust them moving any quality pieces. - Steph
These thoughtful and helpful men were wonderful! I appreciate how hard they worked yo safely deliver my heavy peloton bike up steps and for asking me if I was sure it was where I wanted it. Thank you! - Debra
They not only moved my console, they moved my heavy bbq to the other side of the property. They were friendly, accommodating and took care moving my items. Great experience. - Angela
They transported a super heavy material lift. They worked hard using two methods to get it in. Fantastic, well worth it!!!! - Paul
Ummm one of them seemed very tired, inexperienced and I was surprised the wore backless crocs to move a heavy mattress up and down stairs. I’m guessing that was coree. But they got it done. I was grateful I had my own supplies that helped them (a mattress bag and a moving blanket). They show up empty handed. - Elizabeth
Juan and Jose moved a very heavy piece of furniture up two tricky flights of stairs—they were very careful and did a great job! Highly recommend! - Michaela
William and Richard arrived right on time, wrapped everything professionally and did a great job moving some VERY big and heavy furniture up difficult and narrow sf staircases. I highly recommend them! - Alex
Trigo made sure to pass along details of the pick up and the product that i would not otherwise have known, as I ordered it from FB marketplace. They also helped me move some heavy furniture out of the way before placing new couch down. It was nice to work with both of them! - Caleigh
Jay and Jordan arrived on time with smiles, introductory handshake’s and were ready to work. The heavy elliptical machine was loaded, unloaded and maneuvered through tight spaces to its location inside our house with their skill and strength. My expectations were exceeded hiring much needed help from the Lugg app. The scheduling was easy, the price reasonable and Jay and Jordan are high quality workers! Thank you guys. It was my first time using Lugg and it won’t be my last. I’ve already recommended to one person and will continue to do so. - MARY
Julio and Julio were amazing! Friendly, patient (lots of people telling them different things), and moved everything quickly and well. Got a large/long heavy sofa up two flights and into a small apartment with a narrow hallway when none of us thought it could be done. Magic. Above and beyond. Even helped with removing the trailer hookup for our U-Haul trailer. - Heather
Amazing job with a very heavy table in a very tight space! They were incredibly careful and patient and a pleasure to work with! - Emily
Spencer and Joy were fantastic! They were clearly pros handling super heavy furniture with ease and handling interpersonal interactions with natural, friendly, and approachable demeanors. I would hire them again! - Gail
This was a precious item of my daughter's, an antique. She was very worried, it was quite heavy and they handled it very professionally she said and was so happy with the placement in her house. As always with us, Lugg came through. And we're very happy with their service. - Therese
Kenny and Jessiah were so awesome! They handled and bulky and heavy dresser with ease. they were really careful with the furniture as well. Best in the business! - Lilly

Sometimes the job needs people, not a truck. You need help loading a moving truck you rented or the PODS in the driveway, a sleeper sofa has to get up three flights of stairs, you're rearranging furniture before a showing, the tables and chairs need setting up for an event, or everything has to clear a room for new floors and come back once they've cured. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that offers Movers only in Santa Cruz, labor-only moving help you can book the same day for any job that stays at one address. Some people call them load-only movers.
The Movers only button sits right under your address. Tap it, choose how many movers the job needs, and pick a time, and the price shows before anything is booked. It works the same way in the Lugg app and on the web, and it's the quickest way to hire moving help without arranging a truck.
Yes, and finer than that. Lugg bills moving labor by the minute, so a 40-minute job pays for 40 minutes of labor instead of the two-to-four-hour block most moving companies charge for. The base fare depends on the crew size you pick, and with nothing traveling between two addresses there's no mileage. Running long is fine too: the same rate simply continues.
Movers fill or empty a rental truck, a PODS or a storage unit, carry a single heavy item to another room or floor, like a treadmill down to the basement or a mattress up a staircase, and take on any job where you need help moving furniture without going anywhere. They show up with a dolly, blankets, straps and stretch wrap, and they can take a bed frame apart and put it back together in the room it's going in. For a PODS or a U-Box, the container pages cover what to have ready.
Two buildings in one complex count too, as long as everything can be carried across on foot. If anything has to ride in a vehicle to get where it's going, book a standard Lugg instead and your movers bring the vehicle.
