Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Kent, WA

In Kent labor-only moving help typically costs between $317.78 and $757.32. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $88.30 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

Masoud & Ahmed were awesome! We greatly appreciated the flexibility when pack rat messed up and didn’t drop off the pod until later that day. These guys showed up the next day, fit us in and got everything moved. Thanks!

I have to be candid with this review. They were two hours late, and it created a whole stressful situation. HOWEVER, they did their absolute very best to make up for it and even brought extra help to make sure we don’t get charged for extra time. Better protocols should be in place between them and the movers themselves, but at least it worked out okay in the end.

Hired to move a few heavy or bulky items down a flight of stairs into a rental truck then help us load boxes and smaller furniture until we hit the 2 hours. They not only took care of the hard stuff, but also loaded virtually everything for us while we stayed out of their way. Greatly exceeded our expectations and we would hire again!
