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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 327,974 verified customer reviews
Elijah and his team were extremely helpful. I have used them twice. Not only do they work very hard and fast, but Elijah has a way of fitting much more into into a pod/storage unit/ trailer than I thought possible. Additionally, he packs items into units in a way that ensures the items will not get dented or scratched. He is a fair person, and I suggest using his services.
They did a wonderful job, with what they had to work with. The pod people sent a 16' and a 8" pod. Wasnt enough room for everything. Tony and Robert did a great job
Alex and his partner worked non-stop from the moment they arrived. They did a great job wrapping our furniture, and made sure to reinforce the more delicate pieces. They loaded our moving truck so efficiently, we had plenty of room to spare. Very pleased with their work.
I had to change the date and time and they were able to keep track of every change and I had my helpers right when I needed them. The gentlemen who came to assist were professional and hard working. They were kind with my little dogs and my belongings. The wonderful young men asked if there was any thing else I needed to have moved before they left. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
The movers did a good job moving and were done 1 hour early. As I realized there were still some boxes to move into my garage, one of the helpers got upset that I did not tell them to move them sooner. It was like he was upset that I was asking them to work for more time. His attitude was a little edgy and abrupt thereafter.
Cliff was polite, professional and prompt. They fulfilled all expectations and I would use them again and even told uhaul in modesto they should recommend them for those looking for help.
Mr. Lewis and his assistant, George, were unbelievably fast, careful, and efficient. I can't recommend them enough. We originally employed them to load our Pod, then rescheduled them to help us move into our home a week later. These are men with a solid work ethic and I would recommend them without reservation. They were on time and very respectful throughout the employment.
They were awesome. They called to let me know that they were on their way. The Pod was loaded in a timely manner and they took great care with all of my items to be stored. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
I highly recommend this crew, on time, very helpful putting furniture where I wanted it. They were actually under time I hired. Four guys worked in tandem very effectively. Great job and will recommend to friends. Carol Beeskau
George and Antwon were very efficient and easy going. My only complaint would be that they were a little stingy with shrink wrap on the furniture towards the end as they were running low. Still, they deserve an excellent rating, and we hope who we hire to unload will do as well.
I was pleased with the two helpers that were sent. They were on time- pleasant to work with and did the job well. Hireahelper made finding the help I needed smooth and easy.
The moving team were scheduled to arrive between 8:00-9:00 a.m. They arrived promptly at 8:00. They walked through the house to see the furniture and boxes to be loaded on a freight trailer. They worked hard and didn't stop until the job was done. They were careful with our property, and I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

All Atwater 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.
