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

Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Astoria, OR | $440.33 | $1,163.42 |
| Oregon | $440.33 | $1,163.42 |

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.

Che and his team at EZ Move did amazing work!!! They were kind, communicative and did an impeccable job of unpacking a 27 foot trailer into a storage unit. The service was outstanding!
Shay and Lleona did an excellent job moving me within Astoria. They were prompt, efficient, and very courteous. They also did a nice job training a very capable young man, on the job. Astoria is lucky to have this resource; I highly recommend them.
I was not here with them, my son was. He said everything went just fine. They were here right on time, prepared, worked hard, were respectful and yes I would use them again.
The two helpers showed up on time and ready to work. They were friendly, courteous, very diligent. I got all I paid for. This is the second time I've used them and I will use them again when needed, and highly recommend them to others.
We had accidentally booked for the wrong weekend, but the movers were able to squeeze us in. They did everything asked of them, worked hard and were very polite. I would definitely recommend them.
Glen and his team were on time, efficient, and they spent time strategizing so that not only did everything fit in my pod, but it was snug. They are Tetris geniuses! They also were polite and kind during an emotional time. 10/10. Would hire again.

Marcus and Johnny were Awesome! We always put them through the wringer and they kill it and always have a positive attitude. This is the 3rd time we've worked with REDS and they have been amazing and will continue to use them for any moving needs!
They were great with coordination before the move and communication before and the day of. They were on time, professional, and took care while moving everything. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!

HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Astoria 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.
