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 guys showed up an hour early, so I wasn't quite prepared. But they did a good job of packing our things into a 16 foot truck. I kept thinking that they'd never be able to fit everything in, but they pieced it together like a giant jigsaw puzzle and made it work. They took exactly two hours to get the whole job done. I would use them again.
They were efficient and on time. They handled my belongings with care and respect. They were kind and very willing to help and bring my items to wherever they needed to go. I would hire them again if I were to move in the future.
Very good service! Went above and beyond for me. Took apart all my stuff and Weathered the rain and snow!! I highly recommend for your next move! Thank you!
We had a crazy move that needed several reschedulings due to another company, but Kellers always made sure to be there when we needed and operated with the utmost professionalism. Very responsive, courteous, and got the job done extremely well If I could give them more stars I would. Definitely would use Kellers again in a heartbeat
They showed up on time and got right to work. Very professional and hard workers. Really knew what they were doing. Had the truck packed and ready to go in the time allotted. Would recommend highly to anyone needing this type of service.
Absolutely amazing!!!! They guys couldn’t have been sweeter or more professional. We had a smaller uhaul and they managed to fit my entire 2 bedroom into it. It literally was packed wall to wall but they made it work and they were so careful and caring with my fragile items. I recommend them to anyone in the area! Thank you so much!
Prompt and courteous on the first day and worked diligently to get items packed securely in the truck. Extra special service with delivery of my vehicle. Thank you very much.
Terrence and co. were great. They checked in to confirm beforehand and were right on time. They were friendly, professional, and completed the task efficiently and with great care. Highly recommend.
The team was courteous and professional. They did a fantastic job packing the POD for travel and to make everything fit. I would highly recommend them. We found them to be worth every penny spent.
We had 2 movers help us for several hours and were very happy with their service. There was clear communication prior to the move. Then the day of, they were punctual, friendly and very flexible with their work. Throughout the move, they handled all of our furniture and moving challenges with respect. We recommend this company and would work with them again if the opportunity arises.
They did a great job packing everything into the truck. I wasn't sure it was all going to fit, but they are obviously expert packers. They took good care of my furniture and other belongings and worked hard until the job was done. Professional, prompt and courteous. Highly recommend!
Great job! I needed them to show up at a storage unit to load things onto my truck, then be at my new apartment to unload and move it up two flights of stairs, and they did both fantastically! Would recommend.

All Lewistown 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.
