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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Brooklyn, NY | $350.92 | $935.88 |
| New York | $446.29 | $1,177.89 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $350.92 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Brooklyn, NY, with an average hourly rate of $86.52. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $338.07 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $389.14 | 2 movers | 2.5 hours |

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.

They called to let me know they were running behind from a previous job. They did an amazing magic trick of making everything fit into the container just right! Very nice, respectful, and helpful! Would definitely use them again. Thank you!
Keith and Kendubb were absolutely amazing!! Went above and beyond, done within the first hour and made sure to take care of every piece of furniture/items with three flights of stairs! Two very kind individuals that I enjoyed getting to talk-will definitely be reaching out to for my next move!
They called to ask if they could show up earlier, which we really appreciated. The two movers who showed up did a fantastic job and brought their own equipment. They were quick and efficient, finishing with 40 minutes to spare. Very friendly, we would highly recommend.
Julio and Ramon were great! Super knowledgeable and efficient and careful with my property. They arrived on time, got the job done and I will definitely use/request them again.
Tetris master movers - Will and Joseph were on time called me to let me know they were outside. They were professional and packed our pod perfectly.they had a hand truck for heavier items. They watched not to hit walls. I would recommend Tetris Master Movers to anyone considering moving. We were very happy with their service 5 ?? Amelia Ferone
Charles, Mario, George have been absolutely the best even and very detailed in making everything as organized and clean as possible! Would def hire them again next time!
All the guys were friendly, polite, worked hard and got the job done in the estimated time. Would definitely recommend all of them for a moving job. 5 stars! addendum: make sure they put moving blankets on the floor of the truck and wrap all the furniture
The team was punctual, and had great communication skills. They let me know when they were on their way. They were very cautious of our belongings and respectful of the house and my things. I would use them again.
The movers were friendly, on time, and incredibly helpful. They tackled the tough challenge of fitting everything into storage with ease and got it done ahead of schedule. Made moving stress-free!
Tyrese and his helper, Joey, were exceedingly professional and thorough. Tyrese, in particular, went above and beyond to make a complicated situation work for everyone. He displays a rare amount of dedication and compassion that made this stressful situation much more bearable. I am EXTREMELY satisfied with his service and would use him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Tyrese!
The movers were extremely efficient, trustworthy and friendly. No hitches or complaints and by far the best rates. The first moving company was trying to charge me double but with a little research, I was able to find a superior company with half the rate. Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone.
The movers arrived early and ready to work. They were professional, quick, and careful. They had everything they needed with them, and I was very pleased with thier performance. I would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended!

Why Book Your Brooklyn Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Brooklyn
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Brooklyn.
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.
All Brooklyn 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 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 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.
