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.

The worker who came to help, actually brought other helpers for free, all three of whom were efficient, great packers, and kept up a positive attitude. They worked hard, were efficient, listened to my input and drove from far away just to help me for two hours. I would highly recommend them.
Lucas and Noah arrived on time (even a few minutes early) and were personable and friendly. Most importantly, they worked hard the whole time and unloaded our PODS container in 1 1/2 hours. They were respectful of our property and handled everything carefully . . . no bumps or scratches. We would definitely use them again and recommend them!
Worked hard each minute they were here. They called to let us know their arrival time, arrived at that time. They asked questions when needed and shook our hands when they left. Great job!
Thanks so much to Tim and Rob. They were very patient and did a great job packing and moving our belongings. Would highly recommend them and I will use them again as well!
The two young men who came to my home on May 6 provided excellent service. They started immediately and didn’t stop. The pod was filled expertly from floor to ceiling. In addition, they were extremely kind. I enjoyed having them in my home to help me and hope they come again for the second half of my move next week.
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.
Great guys, albeit a tad confused. They went to my billing address first instead of my move in address so they were almost an hour late. But once they got to my new place they worked hard and got all the things that needed to be accomplished done. They were respectful and delightful guys to work with. I would definitely use them again.
Although our movers were running late, they were extremely helpful in reconciling the time difference and worked very hard on getting us back on our timeline. The guys that moved us were very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. I don't usually take the time to leave reviews, but felt that this company is worth letting others know about especially for such a hectic moving time.
Our Moving Zoom helpers were great! On time, fast and efficient. Weather was lousy but they got the job done! The whole experience was easy and went smoothly, I would definitely recommend them to others.
The team was very flexible and right on time after having to reschedule due to fire emergencies in the Northern California area. Both associates came prepared with moving gear and handled all aspects of the move professionally. I would definitely use them again.
They are the most professional people that I have met in a long time....They went above and beyond any moving company has ever done....They treated my stuff as if it belonged to their mother or father....They work until the job is done...On time, courteous, answered all my questions, and checked in with me....I would recommend them to anyone....i will use them again....
Steve and Jordan were excellent PR reps for Movingzoom. They were on time, well prepared for the job, worked very hard, and were respectful of our property. On top of their strong work ethics, they were two very personable young men. We would not hesitate to specifically ask for their help during the final phase of our move to Houston. Sincerely, Sak and Ali Sakamoto, Hollister, CA

All Pacific Grove 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.
