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.

J & N Movers did an excellent job. Provided good guidance and were extremely efficient. They were extremely cautious of our belongings. I would highly recommend.
Tyrone and Herbert were outstanding workers. They were professional, polite, hard working, fast moving, unbelievably strong and efficient. The two men worked beautifully together and did not waste one moment.
Very good experience. The two men showed up on time, they worked quickly and efficiently and were pleasant to communicate with. Would use them again when I need help in the future.
Ace Movers were great to work with. They did an excellent job loading the truck and definately worked hard. They were a little late due to getting lost but they did call and let me know they were lost and I was able to give them directions. I would recommend them to anyone looking to move. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!
Absolutely on everything they were prompt they worked quickly they worked efficiently seeing what needed to be moved first and in what order so that there would be room and they wouldn't be tripping over stuff that they moved they did an excellent job yes I would recommend them and yes I would hire them back.
I can't say enough good things about Sebastian Moving Janesville. They showed up on time, prepared for what was needed and worked their tails off the entire time they were here. They were so good compared to others I have used I would not hesitate to hire them again!
The workers were awesome. I have no clue how they managed to fit so much in one truck. I highly recommend them. They made it so my mistake (got a truck that was too small) didn't cause me to have to make another 5 hour round trip.
Showed up on time. Carefully, but in a timely manner loaded my trailer. The two men even came back to load the washer and dryer that I had forgotten.
Eric and his assistant were prompt, professional & flexible. We had most of our boxes marked to be unloaded into our basement, but we found out at the last minute that it wouldn’t work out. Eric’s movers didn’t miss a beat. They were positive & upbeat the entire time they were unloading our truck in the horrible humidity. I would definitely recommend them for your next move!
Zach followed up the night before the move which I felt was very professional. They were on time, friendly, worked hard and efficiently and got the job done within the three-hour window I was paying for. I would definitely recommend Zach’s Moving.
All four movers arrived promptly. They were all very professional, worked hard, carefully wrapped and securely loaded the furniture. All pieces arrived at the destination in great condition and secure in the position loaded. The movers were knowledgeable. Yes, I would definitely use them again.
When your looking for a company to help you with a move this is the only one for us. We have used "Freight Angels two times and they have worked harder and quickly then any company we have used to move with. USE THIS COMPANY YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

All Rock City 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.
