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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Moving labor was on time and efficient. I would very much use them again if the need presented. They were careful with our furniture and belongings and protected everything prior to removing from the house to the truck. Good work!
Both guys were awesome! Arrived on time and very polite! They were good hard workers and finished earlier than expected. I would highly recommend them for any move! C Burchfield
They were very polite and took good care of our items. They confirmed with us every where we wanted things and it was to our satisfaction. I would use them again. Thank you.
These guys were just great! They showed up on time, reviewed what needed to be loaded then just went to town! It took them about 4 hours to completely load our 26’ truck. I’ve never seen a truck packed so well! They were very careful with our belongings and meticulously filled every nook and cranny all the way to the end of the truck. I highly recommend these guys!
These guys rocked. They accepted our job last minute when our previously hired movers cancelled on us last minute. Moved everything in super quickly despite it being late in the day. They were courteous, kind and so so helpful. Literal heroes.
I can write pages about the job done by John, Doug and Robert helping pack and load our truck , for us to move from Indiana to Florida. I think I will just say they were fantastic with their job, very caring and supportive to us and gentle with our belongings. Please keep up your good work and a big thank you to all of them.

A great unloading job. I had delays due to a malfunctioning truck, but this company was very helpful. They agreed to unload the truck the next day. The two men were on time and came prepared.

All Albany 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.
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.
