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 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.

| Ohio | $455.58 | $1,222.16 |

Vincent with his team, Andy and Nate, did a stellar job and I commend Vincent for his amazing Tetris skills. They did not waste a moment of the allotted time. Thank you
The guys were very helpful on the hottest day of the year! They did not complain, but continued to work diligently. They treated our items well and were very respectful.
They worked very hard and they know how to pack every inch of the 2- 16 foot pods that I needed to move. I would use them again but this is my last move. The same crew will be unloading my pods in 2 weeks.
Very easy to work with. C and Juan are friendly, helpful, and would go the extra mile to help move items. They worked non stop to stay on schedule. I’d highly recommend Zooming Moving.
Scott and Jake showed up ahead of schedule and were beyond phenomenal movers. They were quick and efficient as well as humorous. Will definitely be contacting them again for any future moves
S&P movers did a great job loading my PODS In Medina Ohio. When it came to unloading the PODS in Brunswick Ohio they were quick and efficient. I would definitely hire them for other moving needs.
This duo of two guys were so amazing and so sweet. They had to take everything to the third floor via stairs and were so kind and caring with my stuff. Stayed an extra hour to finish and made me and my family very safe and sound knowing our stuff was being taken care of. Could not recommend enough!!
I called last minute today about 1 pm. No one else could make it out here today but the guys from Lift With A Twist showed up exactly on time and did a great job unloading my Very Tightly Packed POD! They were careful and respectful of my belongings and they worked hard until the job was done! Great people and a great experience! Thank you!??
James and Rachel arrived on time. I had booked for 2 hours and they busted their butts in that time. They finished the job on time with minutes to spare. Absolutely loved them and would recommend this company because they were on top of the whole thing especially as it was a last minute booking for the next day.
Jake and Hershel are very professional and did an excellent job packing our relo cubes! They are friendly, efficient and packed everything in a very organized way.
James did an excellent job. My dad entered hospice and hospice sent the bed out that day. We needed someone to help us move furniture around to accommdatr his bed. They came that same day and did everything we needed courteoisly and kindly.
Jeff, Scott and Jake are amazing movers. Very professional and courteous. They are very hardworking men. I was concerned about the movers lifting my heavy furniture. They made it look easy. I know that is wasn’t. I would highly recommend Them Movers and would hire them again.

Why Book Your Ashland Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Ashland
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Ashland.
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 $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Ashland movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 for 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.
