The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-OnlyLocal-Full Service

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $395.38 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in San Juan, WA, with an average hourly rate of $85.38. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

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 showed up on time and went to work immediately and worked throughout the time they were here. They wrapped all items needing it, avoided scraping walls and doors, packed everything efficiently with space and concern for traveling well. Great guys and I couldn’t have made my move without them.

Thank the two men who moved us. Actually they arrived a bit earlier than the time frame given to me. Definitely they were prepared - tools, blankets. The distance they had to take everything from the truck to the unit was quite long, but not a problem. I would definitely do the move like that again with Mighty Man and HireAHelper, or directly for a bigger move. Lois Brown, Blaine, Wa.

I hired two men to help interstate movers with the unloading of my items. The men were on time, ready to help and worked continually until the load was unloaded. They worked extremely well with the movers, were very careful with the furniture and boxes, and were very professional, and nice to work with. Highly recommended.

Will and Steve were prompt, professional and personable.

What a great experience! WMLS helped unload two storage units and move it into a third floor apartment, no elevator. They were on-time, professional, super helpful, they helped put together the bed frame, and very easy to work with. They helped me navigate a 16' rental truck. Everyone was flexible in scheduling the move. I would definitely recommend WMLS!

The guys were great and the communication was great up until the point that two weeks later all of a sudden I was getting charged double and it is not taken care of as of yet. No calls back , no emails back! No way would I recommend this company when they took almost three hundred dollars I didn't have two weeks after the job was done. Not good business as far as I'm concerned.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in San Juan

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in San Juan.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All San Juan 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s 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 have—make 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.
