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.

They were on time and very friendly and helpful. Wrapped everything so nothing would break. Even Wrapped the doors so not to scratch them. Very impressed with them. Got everything done on time. Thanks hire a helper.
They were very professional and friendly. They kept me informed about their arrival time. They handled my things carefully and didn’t scratch anything. Overall, a very pleasant experience for such a stressful situation.
Great communication from the moment I placed the order to move my niece’s furniture into a storage room. They were at the apartment on time, were accommodating, and careful with furniture. Both of them (Jose being one of them) were very nice, and worked hard during the time allotted for the move. I will use this service when my niece moves back to a house in the fall. Thank you!
The two hands arrived on time and ready to work. They worked efficiently and relentlessly to get my job done. They cheerfully did everything I asked of them. Although the storage units they were moving for me were heavy (275# each), nothing was damaged. I would use the folks at The Moving Experience again without hesitation.
Jose and Stephen came on time, worked extremely well and efficiently completed the job. They were very careful, put items where requested and were extremely polite. We whole heartedly recommend them. We would again engage them but a move is not in our future. We moved into a retirement community, our last home. Good luck Jose and Stephen.
Very nice gentleman, and very efficient. They even moved my insanely overgrown tomato plants, which was a delicate feat. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
So Cal movers helped me with a recent move. Jose and team were on time and did an excellent job loading and securing items in the moving truck. They were friendly, professional and efficient. I would gladly hire them for all future moves and based on my experience, I would highly recommend So Cal movers for helping with your moves.
They were on time, prepared and worked hard finishing the moving in one hour. They were respectful did no damage and I would use them again if i ever move. Good job!
Jose and Freddie did a fantastic job. They were careful with my belongings and placed furniture exactly where I requested. They also assembled a bed frame and put the legs on two tables. I appreciated their kindness and courtesy and would definitely use them again!
The guys were about 20 min late, but once here, pitched right in, were equipped to handle the job and worked hard. I couldn't have moved without them.
Bryce and Luis were great. They showed up on time and were very nice. They did a fabulous job of packing and were very careful with the furniture. They were able to get all of my stuff onto the truck and they made it easy for us to unload when we got to our final destination. I would highly recommend them.
Excellent job. JosĂŠ was very professional. He organized the move incredibly. He was very smart about assessing how long it would take. And he was easy to work with and kind. I would hire him again if I moved again.

All Buellton 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.
