Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Dane, WI | $514.13 | $1,263.71 |

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 live in another state but hired Here2there to unload a 26-foot Uhaul for a family member who was moving to DeForest. Their affordable pricing caught my eye and I'm pleased to report that they were also friendly, professional and efficient. I recommend this company for anyone who needs help with a move.
Al and his team were AWESOME! They were on time, communicative, hard working and friendly! I was so impressed, and they got all my items wrapped and loaded on time! Their prices were definitely fair, and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend booking them for your needs!
They were on time, they brought all the necessary equipment I asked for, they were very friendly and courteous. I felt completely comfortable with them, they did absolutely everything I asked and were very respectful and nice. We were just moving across town and it was all done within 8 hours (with 2 helpers, and we have a lot of stuff). This is a reputable company and I would use them again!
Fred and his team did awesome!! They arrived early, and were especially kind when we were running behind. They moved all of the stuff efficiently and carefully. They were kind and super helpful, and if I ever move in Madison I’ll make sure to use them again.
The Hitters group made for a wonderful experience. They were on time, asked the right questions, and placed the items to the designated destination. Definitely will use them again.
They called to confirm the day before and told me when the guys would be there. The next day, the guys were there right on time and got to work immediately. They worked hard and did a great job. Would use them again.
If you are looking for a trusted truly professional and knows how to pack a truck and gets right down to the job. Hire this coming. They are simply AWESOME
David and Montell were professional, helpful and Friendly. They were on time, called this morning to confirm, and worked very hard! It is never easy cleaning out a home after a loved on passes away but they went above and beyond to make a difficult situation bearable. This is the first time we’ve used this service and because of David and Montell it won’t be our last!
Thanks guys! We couldn't have done it without you. After a two day drive we were exhausted. It was a pleasure to have efficient, fast, and pleasant help unloading our truck! We appreciate having reliable help. I would definitely recommend hiring them!
Amazing help. Couldn’t have done it without Al and his team. So punctual, respectful, and hard-working. They stayed longer hours to see us through the packing. Thank you so much! Can’t recommend highly enough!!!
I have now used Zach’s for three moves, and honestly I don’t know why you would ever hire anybody else in Madison. These guys are great, efficient and well-priced. Do yourself a favor and use them for your move.
Zach was very professional about keeping us informed of time changes. He and his helper were right on time and got right to work loading the Pod. Would definitely hire again.

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.
