You need moving labor if:

What you get with our moving labor service

We send the right number of people based on your load size and whether there are stairs involved. Every crew member knows how to move furniture efficiently and without damage.

Experienced crew

Our own trained people, never day labor.

Full furniture protection

Everything gets wrapped and padded before it moves.

Efficient loading & unloading

We load strategically, not randomly.

Clear pricing up front

The rate is agreed before we start, and it's the same whether we're loading or unloading.

Stairs & specialty items

Got a tight staircase or heavy appliances? Tell us up front and we staff for it.

Any container

U-Hauls, PODS containers, ABF trailers, and any other portable storage unit.

How we protect your move

A closer look at how we prepare furniture for the move.

Choose an item
  1. The dresser before any protection goes on.
  2. Padded moving blankets go around the dresser first.
  3. Shrink wrap over the blankets holds them in place during handling.
  4. With the protection secured, the dresser is ready for the next stage of the move.

Protection varies by item and material.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your job

    Fill out our quote form or call and text us at 518-294-9337. Let us know what you're moving, whether there are stairs, and what type of truck or container you have.

  2. We give you the price

    Based on what you tell us we'll give you a clear upfront price. No charges added after the fact. What we quote is what you pay.

  3. We show up ready

    Our crew arrives on time with all the equipment needed to wrap, protect, and load everything properly.

  4. Job done

    We load or unload efficiently and carefully. Every item protected, every box stacked correctly, every piece of furniture handled with care.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to provide anything?

Just your truck, POD, or container. We bring all the equipment needed to wrap, pad, and move everything safely.

How many movers will show up?

It depends on the size of your load and whether there are stairs involved. We send the right number of people for the job.

Do you charge extra for stairs?

No surprise stair charges after we arrive. Anything that moves the number is in the quote up front.

What if I'm using a POD or portable container?

We load and unload PODs, PODS containers, ABF trailers, and any other portable storage unit.

How far in advance do I need to book?

As early as possible is always better, but we do have same day and next day availability in some cases.

Do you protect furniture even on a labor-only job?

Always. Every piece gets wrapped and padded regardless of the job type.

What areas do you cover?

The Hudson Valley is our home territory. Catskill, Kingston, Saugerties, Hudson, Woodstock, Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Coxsackie and surrounding areas.

What customers say

I had an amazing experience with Hercules Moving Heroes. They were very responsive and communicative before the move. My situation was a little bit more unique because I shipped my stuff across the country via U-Boxes. When the guys showed up (on time), they unloaded the 4 boxes in less than an hour and they efficiently helped me move my boxes into the correct spaces and reassembled my furniture in my new home. The guys were super quick, friendly and helpful. I will definitely be calling them for my next move.
