“These guys were great! Two movers had my 1 bedroom apartment loaded up in 30 minutes. They were delicate but worked very efficiently and did a great job appropriately loading my U-Haul for a long drive. Communication was great all the way around. I would highly recommend using this company for any move.”
LEXINGTON’S MOVING & LABOR CREW
Up and Coming Moving & Labor
Aaron started Up and Coming in Lexington in 2011 with a simple idea: strong, honest movers you can book for a whole move or just the muscle to load your truck, pod, or trailer. More than 3,000 Bluegrass jobs later, we quote it fair, hourly or flat, and show up ready to work.

What Bluegrass Customers Say Once the Job Is Done
Straight Answers
Questions We Hear Every Week
Do you do labor only, or just full moves?
Both. Rent your own U-Haul, Penske, POD, or ABF trailer and we bring the muscle to load or unload it by the hour, or book our truck and crew for the whole move. Labor-only is a big part of what we do.
How is a job priced?
Labor-only runs $100/hr for two movers and $140/hr for three, with a two-hour minimum. A full move with our truck is quoted flat. You hear the number before we start, and there are no hidden fees.
Can you load a rental truck so it travels safe?
That is our specialty. We stack it heavy and low, strap it in tiers, and pack it tight so nothing shifts on a long drive. Rented too small a truck? We are experts at fitting more into less.
Do you take last-minute jobs?
Whenever we can. Plenty of our calls are folks whose Craigslist help fell through or who booked the wrong day. Reach Aaron and he will let you know the same day if it fits.
Do you carry things up to a second- or third-floor apartment?
Every week. Campus walk-ups and second-floor apartments are the norm in Lexington, and we bring the dollies, straps, and blankets to get it up the stairs safely.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Up and Coming is a licensed and insured Lexington company, and we treat your things and the building like our own on every job.
