Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Afton, VA

In Afton labor-only moving help typically costs between $318.13 and $821.32. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $79.63 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Afton is what we’re here for.

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.

Very satisfied with my move. I had three movers for three hours. They were all very polite, respectful, and genuine, keeping me informed of hoe things were going and asking questions when they were unsure. They worked really hard and were able to get things done in the time frame we had. Hopefully I don't have to move again in the near future but would use them again.

Bizzy Beez’s crew (Bryce, Tyrone and Jarvis) did an excellent job moving our household into a PODS for off site storage. They were friendly, on time, worked hard and fast, asked questions and cared for our furniture (wrapping and taping as needed)! And it is quite an undertaking to fit odd shaped items into a rectangle storage PODS. Will definitely use the again (when we move back in)!
