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 team was on time and ready to work. Did everything asked of them with a great sense of urgency. They did all this while also being very careful and respectful of our belongings. Thanks again.
Movers were great guys who worked their tail off all day. They were great at taking care of my items and packed the truck like experts. Would hire again with no hesitation.
I TREMENDOUSLY! appreciate that they were able to come on short notice. My previous hired-help fell through. It was a nightmarish event but having this company and their guys come through and get the job done -- in good time -- was a huge relief.
The men were actually early. They were extremely polite and careful about moving all of my furniture. They also put blankets around several pieces to prevent them from being scratched. Really good job getting my belongings into the containers. I’ll definitely call you back when I need the containers emptied in my next house. Thank you thank you!!!
Very helpful and caring, took extra care to make sure my furniture didn't bounce around in the truck and was so kind and nice. They moved my sofa around several times until I had it just where I needed it. I would definitely hire them again.
I only booked them for a 30 minute move of a new treadmill, which I planned to assemble myself, but as I had paid for a minimum of 2 hours they offered to assemble it for me with the remaining time. Classy move.
Hire A Helper showed up in the window of time they said ,& in 1 hour they worked quickly & efficiently & had the Uhaul packed well. They followed UHaul to address & unloaded also at good time. All took a little over 2 & a half hours. The 2 young men did quiet & nice work .
They were very efficient with their work and were even able to finish the job ahead of schedule! We also had friendly conversations in addition to clear communication with where to move what. Very personable, excellent work, would recommend.
The guys were for nominal couldn’t ask for better help.They were both very careful and excellent workers. Both of these men are people I would be Otto have working for me.
The guys from Allstar did a fantastic job with our move! They were friendly, well-prepared, and they accomplished a lot in a relatively short amount of time, and made the most of the space we had in the truck (seriously, it was like a game of Tetris). I would absolutely recommend, they’re very hard workers.
All three movers arrived on time (actually a few minutes early) and went directly to work. They moved a very heavy upright piano, appliances, and a heavy file cabinet without any damage.
They were WONDERFUL!!! Excellent workers, careful, respectful, and cautious. They took care of my things. I would have them back in a heartbeat ( if I move again). ??

All Amboy 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.
