Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Dana Point, CA | $323.42 | $1,060.99 |
| California | $458.12 | $1,152.13 |

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |

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.

Communicative and on time. They did more than expected and completed everything that was asked. They busted out the heavy stuff for us. My type A perfectionist personalty made for a challenge as how quick they loaded some items. They were very helpful in completing the task of moving. If it weren’t for them, we’d still be working.
I would TOTALLY recommend Rigo's (Angel & David) for moving, in a heartbeat. Professional, prompt, patient, communicative, tidy... 10 out of 10. Thank you!
Not only did they show up on time, they were efficient and helped us with some unforeseen issues. They identified potential hiccups and worked with us to find Solutions. Everyone I had contact with from this group was helpful and respectful. I absolutely recommend this group and would not hesitate to use them again.
The team from JFK moving did a wonderful job packing my PODs. Very efficient, professional, friendly and punctual. Could not have asked for better. Thank you.
I used Speed Loaders for both a move out into a Pod and a move in from the Pod back into my house and they were terrific. They were on time and fast and careful at the same time. I would hire them again and I recommend that you do as well.
My two movers, Juan and Antonio, were excellent workers. They arrived on time, started packing boxes right away and handled everything carefully. And they stacked them meticulously to my satisfaction at the end destination. The guys were friendly, funny, extremely hard-working and I would request both of them again for my next move.
As a professional artist who was concerned with packing my paintings safely I was very impressed and grateful with Sitters Movers attention to detail and care. I highly recommend them! They also have a great handout they give you with valuable packing info and the best places to order supplies.
Rigo’s did such a great job. Quick communication. Was able to schedule the night before (thankfully). My movers arrived early and even finished a little early as well. They were careful and efficient. Thanks so much!
Francis and Alex were amazing! I would highly recommend him for this type of work. They worked none stop and careful on not making an dent on the wall. They packed the POD so we'll that we had extra space. Thank you so much for your services!!
Once again Christian and Juan did an absolutely amazing job today! They loaded my belongings into the POD I rented quickly and efficiently. Everything was padded and strapped down for the safe journey to my new home. I would highly recommend this team to everyone!
The staff was amazing the Helpers made my long distance move wonderful. There portion saved me. Pack Rack assistance was horrible. Please commend the two movers that moved me. I good job well done
The service provided was top notch. Facemove was the subcontractor and I worked with Vladimir. They were on time, move everything and packed the pod meticulously. I would absolutely hire Vladimir again without hesitation.

- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Dana Point 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
