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.

They were on time. Worked hard and we're very respectable to both me and my property. My pod is packed so good. I would definitely hire these guys again. Thanks for making my move alittle less stressful.
Awesome job, fast, and one guy was super strong (he was able to heft up some solid wood furniture himself instead of needing to pull aside the other worker to help).
The guys were on time, polite, careful with our furniture and worked hard to get the job done in good time. They put the furniture where we wanted it and reassembled the furniture (beds etc) for us. I would definitely use them again.
Timely and efficient! They were very nice gentleman and very respectable of my property. Movers placed items in the designated areas/ rooms when asked, which was a BIG help. Would definitely recommend!

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.
