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.

I was pleased with everything. Franco was very helpful when I had to change my date at the last minute! He was very patient and communicative. Angel was a nice hardworking young man. My realtor brought us lunch just as they were leaving so I hope they enjoyed it. Thanks to City Wide, Franco and Angel.
Showed up on time, well equipped. Worked well but were pretty slow, took them as long to unload as it did for the other company to load. This caused an additional hour of charges to the job.
Angel, Franco, and Darren were AMAZING! On time, polite, nice, hard working , careful, friendly and overall terrific! They kept reassuring me everything would fit in the POD and it did . I highly highly recommend these guys to move your belongings . Thank you !!!!
Daniel and his crew were very punctual and ready to begin work when they arrived. Explained what was needed to be loaded and left the rest to them. Furniture was padded and rapped, keeping it well protected. I used them to load two containers and each day same quality of service was given.
The gentlemen from Excellent Movers definitely impressed everyone at the house who were helping me with the move. They were very fast, efficient and handled my items with care. I'm very glad I hired them and highly recommend them for anyone looking for helpers who are ambitious and respectful.
Citywide Moving is HIGHLY recommended by us! They did a great and quick job unloading for us. Both were the most professional we have encountered during our whole move! We are already recommending them to family that will be moving this summer.
Outstanding service! Daniel and his team worked tirelessly to load our POD and finished on time. They’re highly organized, so we have nearly half the space left in our 16-foot container for items in our off-site storage locker. Friendly, courteous, and reliable. Recommend highly and would use again.
Excellent workers! Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in loading the trailer and working with us. Showed up on time. Carlos and staff were great to work with. System to schedule help was easy to use. Thank you! Much appreciated!
Lab Professional Movers were amazing! Very professional, on time, and took very good care of my household belongings. I will use them again next time I move!
Two workers arrived on time and ready to go. Very fast and efficient at loading. Moved several heavy items (china hutch, buffet, piano, dining room table) with ease and confidence. Would recommend them to everyone!
I would 100% recommend Rigo’s moving and storage company. The Packers or movers were on time and they had everything they needed to do the job right. they were very hard and efficient. they took very good care of my property.. I showed them what I wanted packed and they made miracles happen and got all my property into one container
Franco and Joe were awesome! They unpacked a 16’ container in a little under 2 hours, which included many heavy items that needed to go up a flight of stairs. They worked their tails off and were friendly and pleasant the entire time. I would definitely use them again and give them my highest recommendation!

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.
