What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,004 verified customer reviews
They were so kind and professional. They wrapped all of my furniture and took down and put together everything really efficiently and thoughtfully! I would definitely use them again.
Two strong guys showed up and knocked out the project super fast. The communicated when they were coming and were on time to the expected arrival time. They moved everything I asked and did not damage anything in the house. Very professional, fast, and hard working. I would definitely use again.
Juan texted me to inform me that he was on the way, and even arrived a few minutes early. I had two large mattresses and a large sectional sofa. They wrapped the furniture well, and moved it to the new house, putting everything in place. It was a great experience, and I plan to use them if I move again!
I'm so thankful they came to unload our 2 PODS. I underestimated the amount of time that it would take and how many people I would need. I felt terrible because it was a lot of work for 2 people. In spite of that, they were careful with all the boxes and did the job as fast as they could. Everything was safely put away before the rain came. Thank you so much! ??
Great helpers! Adriano called to give an ETA, then called to let me know he was stuck in traffic and give an updated ETA. When they arrived they went right to work. They were super careful with my things and asked where I would like them put. Extremely professional, polite, and friendly. I would definitely recommend them!
Bob and Sekou did amazing work loading my PODS container. Hands down, they’re the best movers I have ever hired — friendly, efficient, careful and knowledgeable.
Both gentlemen were extremely kind and helpful. I had a lot of furniture that means a lot and they treated it all with care and were asking questions based off of what i was needing. They called ahead of time to ask if they could be early which i appreciated and helped. Both worked very hard and were respectful, yes I would use them again if needed!
Fantastic job! They arrived on time and worked nonstop to fill the entire container with all the items on my list !! Thank you very much Bob and Austin!!!
These professionals know what they are doing. Mike packed my Pod as solid as a brick. And the team was very pleasant and friendly. I’d use them again in a heartbeat. ??
Our move in day went well with this team. We would like them to manage/work our next delivery. We are very comfortable with them. They worked very hard for us!
I’ve hired about a dozen movers over the past 2 decades and I was a little skeptical when two young men showed up. However these two gentlemen were not only very professional they were very quick and respectful of our belongings. They had the equipment and knowledge one would expect for movers. I would definitely hire them again.
They were delayed in traffic (beyond their control), but did an excellent job. They got everything done in the allotted two hour time frame. Company charged extra for stairs (for which I had previously advised), but again that was beyond the movers' control.

All Castroville movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionā¢āan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveāmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
