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.

Arrived promptly and worked quickly. Extremely careful with everything and courteous, a pleasure to work with. Will definitely be using them for any moving needs in the future.
My movers were Casey and John. Extremely hard workers, fast yet very conscientious. They packed the truck with placement that would most benefit and protect my possessions. Very professional and very nice people. I highly recommend this company and this crew. Mike Sullivan Abingdon, Va.
Fantastic company. They were very organized, professional, friendly, careful with my things, and just overall very easy and great to work with. Highly recommend them!
The crew of 2 showed up on time and took instructions well to complete our loading of the U-Haul truck. They were careful with our items and very polite when communicating with us. We would use them again.
These 2 guys arrived on time and worked hard for the entire time. They treated my furniture and house with care and respect. They were friendly and it was a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend them for your moving needs.
This was the 2nd time I hired this crew. They did a great job for us once again! They called when they arrived and went right to work! Great job guys!
We just needed help loading the POD and then unloading it when we moved to our new home. All these young men worked very hard. We didn't need any additional help disassembling/assembling or disconnecting/connecting so our need was pretty basic. We would definitely recommend Bennetts Moving Services to family and friends.
The 4 gentleman that showed up to help unload a 16 ft POD did an amazing job. Very hard workers but had a fun at the same time. They were a joy to be around. Would highly recommend them!!
Peyton and Zack were exceptional!!! They arrived on time and quickly loaded their truck and delivered our items to our new home. Both Gentlemen were very polite and friendly. I will certainly reach out to Bennetts Moving and Storage for future moving needs!
Logan and Frank were on time and were excellent workers. They helped us empty our 16 ft pod in less than 2 hours and assembled our king size bed for us. They were kind and polite and a pleasure to work with. We would use Mountain Empire Movers again.
Words to describe my experience with this service: professional, thoughtful, on time, courteous, personable, careful, hard working. Made my move so much easier and less stressful.
Smart Move provided excellent service! The team they sent out unloaded our moving truck with precision, care, and speed. I thought it would take much longer than it did. I couldn't ask for more in a moving company. Highest recommendation!!

All Castlewood 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.
