Moving Labor & Moving Help Norfolk VA | $75/Mover/Hr

---

👥 How Many Movers Should I Hire?
🏠 Studio or one-bedroom — Two movers
🏠 Two or three bedrooms — Three movers
🏠 Four or more bedrooms — Four movers
Your actual inventory matters more than bedroom count.
Heavy furniture, stairs, long carries and tight deadlines can change the recommendation.
We recommend a crew after talking through your job.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧰 What Our Moving Helpers Bring
Depending on the job, our crew arrives with:
✔️ Furniture and appliance dollies
✔️ Moving pads and blankets
✔️ Straps and tie-downs
✔️ Shrink wrap
✔️ Basic tools for furniture disassembly
✔️ Floor and doorway protection when required
Tell us what supplies came with your truck or container. We will confirm what the crew brings and what you should have on hand.
⚠️ Our reusable blankets and equipment leave with the crew. If your load is traveling, arrange protection materials that stay with the truck or container.

📍 Norfolk Access: Local Experience Matters
Loading at a downtown high-rise is a different job from loading in a Chesapeake driveway. We plan around parking, stairs, elevators and building rules.
🏢 Downtown Norfolk and Granby Street — Freight-elevator reservations, Certificates of Insurance (COI) and loading-zone approval are often required.
➡️ Downtown high-rise moving guide
🏘️ Ghent and Colley Avenue — Historic walk-ups often mean narrow stairs, tight turns and limited curb space.
➡️ Ghent movers
🌊 Ocean View and East Beach — Beach-area parking, summer traffic and coastal weather can affect the plan.
➡️ Ocean View movers • East Beach movers
🎓 Old Dominion University (ODU) and Hampton Boulevard — Busy semester move-in and move-out periods need early booking.
🗺️ South Hampton Roads — We also serve Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk.

🎖️ Military PPM and DITY Moving Help
We provide loading and unloading labor for Personally Procured Moves (PPM), formerly called Do-It-Yourself (DITY) moves.
✔️ Rental truck and container loading
✔️ Furniture protection and load securement
✔️ Unloading at homes, apartments and storage facilities
✔️ Scheduling around your weight tickets
✔️ Planning for base access
We regularly help military families connected with Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek–Fort Story and Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana.

⭐ Who You Are Hiring
Norfolk Military Veterans Moving Company is operated by Military Veterans Moving People, founded by U.S. Army veteran Gregory Sledge. That history still sets the standard: answer the phone, be direct about the price, treat customers with respect and stand behind the work.

🛡️ Our Quality Assurance Guarantee
We stand behind our crews' work.
If our movers damage an item while it is under their direct handling, contact Gregory at 757-330-0008. We will review what happened promptly and work with you toward repair or replacement.
The guarantee does not automatically cover:
➡️ Pre-existing damage

➡️ Internal electronic or mechanical failure
➡️ Damage after a labor-only load leaves our direct control
Labor-Only Coverage
Our crews carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
⚠️ Labor-only service does not include cargo insurance for belongings in your rental truck or container.
You arrange the transportation, so ask your rental company or insurer what protection is available.
🚫 Items We Do Not Handle
❌ Firearms
❌ Ammunition
❌ Hazardous materials
❌ Propane tanks
❌ Paint
Keep these items separate from the load. Ask before moving day if you are unsure about an item.
